Andreas Katsulas, who plays G'Kar in Babylon 5, pops up briefly here as the Romulan commander. It's the voice that gives them away, you know, like when Michael Dorn was on Parker Lewis examining Jerry's model of the Enterprise.
Hurrah! Ensign Gates has made it all the way to the final episode! Once again, when she is called upon to say "Aye sir", "her" voice is heard while she is out of shot. We wonder why, don't we, readers?
Worf curses in Klingon while on the viewscreen. The Universal Translator doesn't translate it. We're going to miss this show . . .
I note that Majel Barrett was credited with being the computer voice for this episode. Did anybody hear it saying anything? I didn't. Come to think of it, I can't remember exactly when I last heard the computer saying anything. I wonder what has occurred here?
Um. The early shot of the beardless Riker was clearly taken from an early season episode footage. It would probably be pointless to search for it, as it may have been an outtake. Next time I'll keep my eyes open though. Offhand, I'd say it was 'The Arsenal of Freedom' from the first season.
It is interesting to note that the plot, while providing us with a rattling good yarn, serves as a device to make us look right back to the very beginning of the series, providing it with a neatly encapsulating middle and end.
Riker's Enterprise is clearly marked NCC 1701D so this is obviously not the same timeline that we witnessed in the movie "Generations" wherein the 1701D was comprehensively trashed while still under the captaincy of Jean-Luc. Just a bijou observationette there.
And so to bed.
Kruse out.
