    • Trivia
      The last episode aired before Gene Roddenberry's death on 24th October 1991. Unification I (1991) and Unification II (1991) began with the simple credit: Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991).
    • Goofs
      When Beverly and Geordi are trapped in the cargo bay, Beverly says, "Geordi, this wall is HOT!", Geordi, acts surprised and asks "Where...?". It has already been established that his VISOR can easily see the EM spectrum including infrared. Surely, he would have seen the wall was hot before Beverly ever touched it.

    Disagreeing with "Good" re: Troi's rank.
    Among the "Goofs" in the reviews of this episode, one writer claims that Troi would be "out ranked" because she has a "psychologist". However, in the episode, itself, O'Brien has a line of dialogue which speak directly to this issue. He states very clearly - to Ro, in fact - that Counselor Troi "carries the rank of Lieutenant Commander", thereby outranking Ensign Ro.
