Trivia
The original title was The Good, the Bad and the Klingon.

Goofs
When Frank and Eli Hollander (at this point both played by Data) are talking at the prison on the holodeck, the side of Data's left arm seems to be cut off as he turns to walk away. This is due to the split-screen technique used to show both Datas in the same frame.

Quotes
[La Forge is working on Data's open head]
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: I must admit, Data, I never get used to seeing you like this.
Lt. Commander Data: I do not understand. You are constantly working on similar electronic systems, yet their appearances do not disturb you.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Yeah, but you're not just another electronic system.
Lt. Commander Data: Thank you, Geordi. Nor are you just another biological organism.

Crazy credits
This Western-Inspired episode ends with the Enterprise flying off into the sunset.

For being such a bad azz he sure gets his butt handed to him

It's and ongoing joke with my friend Chad but this tough Klingon character is often put down by what ever threat comes aboard the Enterprise. Very funny that he's not very macho for a Klingon. I would have been pretty ticked off if I was that actor. I mean come on. Let him do some UFC knockouts just to give him street cred in the galactic travels. I feel for ya Worf. They didn't write your character very well and it only gets worse for you once you are off the Enterprise and involved in some sort of political position. Very lame to say the least. Keep trying old boy and someday you'll lift that victory belt.
