Notes

• The third (of eight) episodes of Discovery directed by TNG’s Jonathan Frakes.  He was originally supposed to direct the next episode, but real life production issues with the show forced the change.
• The last episode for Airiam, as the character is killed (by being spaced).  It isn’t however the last episode for her actress Hannah Cheesman as she would appear in three more episodes, either via archive footage, dead, or in an alternate timeline.
• There is a Discovery novel that was released a few months prior to this episode titled “The Way to the Stars“.  It contains background info on Burnham relative to her actions in this episode.
• The ninth (of twelve) appearances of Jayne Brook as Admiral Katrina Cornwell.
• The game kadis-kot gets a shout out here – it was mentioned numerous times on Star Trek: Voyager.
