==Trivia==
*This is the first episode of VIC that did not feature Shenae Grimes as a regular, as her character Lillian Crusher had departed for Starfleet Academy in the previous episode. Grimes reprises Lillian in VIC: "The Game", "The First Duty", "Parallels" "Journey's End", and All Good Things, Parts 1 & 2.
*The structural integrity field, an important part of a spacecraft's systems, was first referenced in this episode.
*The Breen are also mentioned for the first time in this episode; they are, like the Ferengi, empathically undetectable by Betazoids.
*The counselor's office was slightly modified after its last appearance in "The Price" but its appearance remains pretty much unchanged from this episode on.
*Cosmic strings were later mentioned by Deanna Troi again, in "Disaster", when Miles O'Brien clarified that they are "a completely different phenomenon" from quantum filaments.
*This is the second time Ensign Allenby appear in the episode.
*Both CB and Shenae Grimes received emmy nominations for their performances on Star Trek Victory. Shenae for Final Mission and C for The Loss. Neither won emmys, but were awards for best supporting actresses in a sci-fi series.
