Notes
- Denise Crosby is still credited in the opening titles, despite having left the show’s cast at this point.
- Ward Costello and Robert Schenkkan reprise their roles from the episode “Coming of Age“.
- The chair that Remmick was in at the end of the episode is the same one that was used by Admiral Jameson in the episode “Too Short a Season“.
- The first appearance of a Bolian in the series.
- A chart on the wall behind Remmick’s chair was reused in many more TNG episodes and later appeared in the pilot episode of the Doctor Who spin-off series The Sarah Jane Adventures in the Sarah’s attic.
- The doors in the set of the “dining area” in Starfleet HQ were re-used later as the doors to Ten Forward once Guinan joined the crew.

Follows up the ep "Coming of Age". This postulated the idea that Starfleet had been infiltrated from within with officers under control by an alien species - of which Remmick held the host. Picard & crew solve pic.twitter.com/s1whW9Ygaf

the problem in the end, exposing the alien in a sequence fairly graphic for Trek at the time. It was intended to set up the Borg in s2, but when the Borg were redesigned, the cliffhanger became unresolved. pic.twitter.com/jQ2stMkiL2
