* CerebusRetcon: For seven years on ''TNG'' (and once on ''[=DS9=]''), Q had been portrayed as a JerkassGod, TheGadfly, or TricksterMentor, who took delight in messing with people. This episode put a dark spin on all of his prior antics. A glimpse of life in the continuum showed that underneath all of his bluster and wacky cartoonishness, Q was a SadClown.
--> '''Quinn''': Q rebelled against this existence by refusing to behave. He was out of control, he used his powers recklessly, tormented lesser beings, all for his own amusement. And he desperately needed amusement. Because he could find none here at home.

** When hippie sound technician Maury Ginsberg's car broke down, he was given a lift by Quinn to the music festival at Woodstock, and ended up being in the right place to notice a single unplugged extension cord that had knocked out the entire sound system, thereby saving the show. He also met his future wife thanks to Quinn.

* CallBack: To [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS6E24S7E1Descent the TNG episode Descent]], where the holographic Sir Isaac Newton was outraged to hear Data say that the story of the apple falling on his head was considered to be apocryphal.
