Trivia
NBA star James Worthy's appearance as Koral came about due to a chance meeting on an airplane with Robert O'Reilly (Chancellor Gowron). Worthy had always wanted to appear on Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987). At O'Reilly's urging, Worthy met with the producers, and they considered the possibility of a cameo role. This timed perfectly with the need for filler elements in the Gambit story arc. Thus Koral was created.

Goofs
With Data's promotion to first officer after the supposed death of Picard, his position in command means he should be wearing a red uniform instead of the gold one he normally wears, just as he did in Chain of Command, Part II (1992). However, he keeps wearing his gold uniform throughout Gambit.

Quotes
Counselor Deanna Troi: [examining Riker, who has been "killed" by Picard] He's all right. He's only stunned.
Lt. Commander Data: I must admit, I am experiencing a similar sensation.

This concludes the two-parter where both Picard and Riker play cat and mouse with a group of mercenaries. There is something powerful in an artifact that must be joined with another. It has to do with power that is unlike any seen before because it has to do with the disposition of the victim. Picard and Riker hatch a plot that involves messages to the Enterprise (commanded by Data) and a profile of antagonism on board the enemy ship. The Romulans and Vulcans share a similar history and this comes into play. Greed can make fools of us and this is no exception. Riker is excellent as the smug turncoat and Picard is also good as the cynical Galen, whose expertise is all that is keeping him alive.
