Trivia
This episode marks the fourth appearance of Harcourt Fenton "Harry" Mudd (Rainn Wilson) after Mudd's Women (1966), I, Mudd (1967) and Mudd's Passion (1973). In all of his previous appearances, he was played by Roger C. Carmel.

Goofs
Admiral Cornwell is somehow able to appraise Saru of the exact events of Lorca's capture (pilot killed, Lorca taken aboard) even though the shuttle was taken by the Klingons and therefore any logs or recordings, if it had any, would not be accessible to Starfleet. All Starfleet should know is that the shuttle is missing.

Quotes
[Lorca is held prisoner by the Klingons, together with a certain Harry Mudd]
Captain Gabriel Lorca: Where are we?
Harry Mudd: On a resort off Antares Minor. You should try the spa. The hot-stone massage is delightful.
Captain Gabriel Lorca: Where are we?
Harry Mudd: Typical Starfleet. No fun at all.

Not getting better

Seriously I thought it would get better but now we have some officers swearing and unrealistic action scenes.. It's not getting better.

They forgot that Star Trek is supposed to have humor. If they keep going like this season 2 will be like Game of Thrones in space with Star Wars mindless pew pew battles.

It's not all bad, at lot is done well, but it's not what it should be.
