Links To Later Episodes
The episode relates to episodes which had been made earlier but were set in later centuries:
- Dr. Janice Lester claimed in Star Trek: The Original Series' episode "Turnabout Intruder" that women could not become captains in Starfleet, despite the female captain featured in "Affliction." However, Lester was mentally unstable.
- In DS9's "Trials and Tribble-ations," when trying to figure out why the Klingons of the Original Series era had smooth heads, Chief O'Brien suggests genetic engineering and Dr. Bashir assumes a viral mutation. This episode reveals that a combination of the two is correct.

Famous quotes containing the words links to, links and/or episodes:
“An alliance is like a chain. It is not made stronger by adding weak links to it. A great power like the United States gains no advantage and it loses prestige by offering, indeed peddling, its alliances to all and sundry. An alliance should be hard diplomatic currency, valuable and hard to get, and not inflationary paper from the mimeograph machine in the State Department.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“I’ve gradually risen from lower-class background to lower-class foreground.”
—Marvin Cohen, U.S. author and humorist. Baseball the Beautiful, Links Books (1970)
“Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
