Notes

• The first episode with a male Betazoid.
• The visual effect of the Gomtuu’s “attack” was a re-use of a special effect created for V’Ger in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
• The ambient sounds that Gomtuu made were derived from sounds recorded from sound effects editor Jim Wolvington’s stomach through a stethoscope while he was eating pizza. (This is a direct lift from the Memory Alpha page, but was too good not to use).
