Notes

• A shuttle has the name Savvik – a direct reference to the character played by Kirstie Alley & Robin Curtis.
• This first appearance by Michael Dorn as Worf in the series.  Was his first appearance as the character since “Star Trek Nemesis” some 21 years prior.
• A few DS9 characters are referenced here, but not seen.  Specifically Morn, Quark, & Brunt.
• The character of Thadiun Okona (“The Outrageous Okona“) is also mentioned.  While he doesn’t appear, he does appear in the future in a Lower Decks episode (“An Embarrassment of Dooplers“) as well as two Star Trek Prodigy S2 episodes (“Crossroads” & “Masquerade“).
• The fact that Picard’s body is not flesh and bone by synthetic is mentioned here – a holdover from Season 1 of “Picard”.
• When Worf first appears, we get a musical cue going back to what I call “The Klingon Mad Music” from Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
