Notes
- This story was originally conceived during TNG’s time as a way to write Alexander Rozhenko out of the series.
- The outdoors shots were filmed at Malibu Creek State Park.
- O’Brien’s cat Chester appears here – the final time the cat appears. That is a followup to the events of the episode “Honor Among Thieves“.
- The time portal console is a re-use of a console used in the second season episode “Armageddon Game“.
- The older Molly here was played by Michelle Krusiec. She also appeared in the CW series Supergirl as Natalie Hawkings in the episode “Parasite Lost“. Krusiec was in a LOT of other stuff, but that’s something I’d seen.
- Miles use of “Bollocks!” I think was the first on air swear in a Star Trek episode?
