- Harsher in Hindsight: The Enterprise and its crew are under attack by automated drones that inadvertently destroyed the civilization that created them long ago. Today, with things like UAVs and computer-guided missiles becoming indispensable parts of modern warfare, it becomes less amusing.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: In this episode, Geordi bickers with Chief Engineer of the Week Lt. Logan, who tries to usurp command from him. Starting in season 2, Geordi becomes the Enterprise's Chief Engineer, so he wins again.
- Retroactive Recognition: The backup helmsman, Lt. j.g. Solis, is played by American actor/ballerino George de la Peña, later known for playing antagonist Roberto Volare in Brain Donors and main villain Sam Jones in Kuffs.
