Notes

• Running fired torpedo count: 61.  This contradicts the hard limit set in “The Cloud” of 38.
• The Komar city landscape is the same as one used in “Year of Hell“.
• The episode “Cathexis” had Tuvok being taken over by a race called the Komar – but it is not known if this is supposed to be the same.
• Robert Picardo sung everything in this episode except one scene – the final performance on the Komar planet.
• The Komar leader named Koru was played by Paul Williams. This is his only appearance in Star Trek – but I know him SUPER WELL as “Little Enos” from the three Smokey & The Bandit films.
• Rico Bueno plays a background character here – a Qomar spectator.  He had other unspeaking background character roles as an officer on the Enterprise-E in Insurrection, a Bellerophon officer in DS9’s “Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges“, and a Meridian on DS9’s “Meridian“.
