* ArtisticLicenseBiology: The parasites have control of their hosts adrenal glands, which gives them superior strength and durability. In reality, even a stiff shot of adrenaline isn't going to let an old man deliver high-kicks, beat up three fit young men, or resist a stunning effect that would instantly render a normal human unconscious.

* ProperlyParanoid: Walker Keel is so certain of his belief that something is happening within the upper echelon of Starfleet Command that he's willing to breach official protocol to warn Picard, who initially brushes him off. Shortly afterwards, his ship implodes with him on board. This is enough to convince Picard that his suspicions were correct.

* CurbStompBattle: When Quinn faces Worf, the showdown between them is given the weight of an act break, implying that they're about to have an epic battle. Instead, Work puts up less of a fight than Riker and gets tossed over a table almost immediately.

* ObviousStuntDouble: Not a lot of effort is made to conceal the fact that both Riker and Quinn are played by stunt doubles during most their fight. It's much easier to spot in the modern, remastered edition than it probably was on a standard-def television in the 1980s, however.
