Notes

• Running Decon Gel Scene Appearances: T’Pol (3), Trip (2), Hoshi (2), Malcolm (1), Archer (1), Porthos (1).  None this episode. It’s mentioned in dialog, that Archer, Reed, & Hoshi were in decon, but we didn’t see it, so no count.
• While not a sequel (or prequel) as such to the TOS episode “A Piece of the Action“, it is noted in production documentation that this story explores the last scene there where McCoy says he may have left his communicator on planet Sigma Iotia II.
• Gosis was played by Francis Guinan.  He was also Minister Kray in Voyager’s “Ex Post Facto” and Zar in Voyager’s “Live Fast and Prosper“.
• Pell was played by Tim Kelleher.  He was also Gaines in TNG’s “All Good Things…“, Four of Nine (and P’Chan) in Voyager’s “Survival Instinct“.
• The Barkeep was played by Dennis Cockrum.  He was also Freebus in a deleted scene from “Two Days and Two Nights“, A Corvallen Captain in TNG’s “Face of the Enemy“, and Orek in Voyager’s “Live Fast and Prosper“.
