Notes
- The last appearance of the Bolian barber “Mot”. He did have another scene in the episode “The Chase“, but it got cut.
- The only time in the entire series that Riker takes the conn.
- Data’s “Ode to Spot” poem later appeared in the episode “A Fistful of Datas“.
- The episode ends with the aliens escaping into our universe, but it is never followed up on, similar to the end of the episode “Conspiracy“.
