Notes

• Running Decon Gel Scene Appearances: Trip (1), T’Pol (1) – none this episode.
• The show’s theme song (Faith of the Heart) is in the episodes’ score as well, something that rarely happens.
• A squeak in the Captain’s chair in this episode is repaired 28 episodes from now in season two’s “Dead Stop“.
• This episode’s race is the Axanar – the first time they’ve appeared.  They were mentioned in the TOS episode “Whom Gods Destroy“, however.
• The Axanar captain was played by Jeff Ricketts.  He would later appear as an Andorian named Keval in “The Andorian Incident“.
• Jeff Ayres makes his first of twenty appearances as the background character Haynem here.  He was uncredited until his final appearance in the series finale.  Ayres was also a stand-in for Scott Bakula.
• Solomon Burke Jr make his first of 36 appearances as a (mostly) background character named Billy here.
