* Also Genesis itself. The technology has escaped Federation control and is apparently easily available in the black market. It seems the Klingons were right to be worried all those decades ago because now all you need to murder a planet is enough money...
* The episode and the season has Tendi watching the ''Cerritos'' disappear as her ship goes into warp... only for her to turn around and sport a devious grin on her face. Does our sweet and innocent Tendi have a darker side she was hiding the entire time? What does this mean for season 5?

* On Voyager we get several callbacks as DisasterDominoes bring back several of Voyagers enemies [[VillainTeamUp all at once]] starting with some [[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS3E11Macrocosm Macroviruses]] that stowed away on the ship triggering some Borg Nanoprobes which go haywire Assimilating several of the exibits and [[HolodeckMalfunction messing up the holodeck]] leading to [[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS5E1Night Dr. Chaotica]], [[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS2E23TheThaw The Clown]] and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers the bartender from Fairhaven ]] rampaging across the now holo emitter equipped ship.

'''Mariner''': ...'''holy f**k!'''

* Creator/RobertDuncanMcNeill and the other Powers That Be described Nick Locarno as "irredeemable" (to the point that [=McNeill=] even refused to reprise the character for ''Voyager'' for that exact reason, which is why Tom Paris was created). They weren't kidding. His refusal to take responsibility for the consequences of the Kolvoord Starburst debacle and unresolved resentment towards Starfleet have left him utterly fucked up. By the time he confronts Mariner for the final time, any trace of human decency is gone.

* So how does a mysterious alien ship know about a random Starfleet satellite? Why, a former member of Starfleet. Specifically, Nick Lorcano, the former trainee of Nova squadron who got one of his classmates killed doing a DangerousForbiddenTechnique of a flight maneuver. And he has Marnier and wants her help.

** The opening flashback at Starfleet Academy is a tad sickening. You can see Locarno manipulate Nova Squadron into performing the maneuver that gets Joshua killed, in what would otherwise look like a casual conversation. Josh and Wes try to object to it, but he just comes up with reasons why their concerns don't matter that basically boil down to "we're Nova Squadron, we're number one". Sito realizes that he's just self-aggrandizing, but he promises the rest of the squad will be legends too. Mariner herself didn't think twice about it at the time.

** Locarno's main talent is [[TheSociopath manipulation]]. He even tries this on Mariner (though thankfully she knows better). He tries to act like it's all for "the team", but the instant something goes wrong, [[ItsAllAboutMe Locarno makes it all about himself]] and tries to throw anyone else under the bus. It's the pattern he fell into with the Kolvoord Starburst mess, and it's the pattern he falls into when Mariner calls his bullshit, derails his NewEraSpeech, and flees with the Genesis Device.

* Locarno has a ''Genesis Device'', and is all too willing to use it on anyone who tries to stop him. The only thing that stops this from being a threat is Mariner stealing it when she flees ''Nova One'', and she spends most of the episode on the run from Nova Fleet. She ultimately ends up having to set it off when Locarno corners her in an ion storm because she knows it's not safe for ''anyone'' to have it, especially not a man who got expelled from the Academy for getting a squadmate killed and has only got worse since then.

* Somehow, seeing Badgey as a single-minded automaton who rarely says more than one line (granted that line is a subdued "I will burn your heart in a fire") is ''more'' disturbing than when he's fully expressive and psychotic.
