Production Notes
- Director Robert Scheerer: "Brian was very nervous the first day, but he loved the makeup and he's a very bright boy. The first day both of us were kind of feeling our own way, seeking a common ground, and from the second day on it was just a joy. And Michael just grows by leaps and bounds on the show every year."
- Actor Michael Dorn: "I've been very lucky. Worf has been busy. He had a mate, lost her, has a son, adoptive parents and real parents that were killed, and he was paralyzed for a while. I've been very fortunate where they have touched on a lot of Worf's character."
- Producer Rick Berman: "I thought it was well done, but it doesn't stand out for me. Our greatest desire is to have shows where either the A-B story stands so well alone that they can be intermingled the way the two plots on LA Law are, or the A-B story have a reason to intermingle with each other. Then there's the other event where a show is strong enough to have one story with the science fiction and character drama. The shows that I find most disappointing are the shows where we have a wonderful character piece and a weak science fiction story. It's a wonderful character development piece of drama and some parasite, or some dripping goo or some asteroid disaster that's looming has to be forced into the story. We do our best to avoid those, but sometimes they happen."

“... if the production of any commodity necessitates the sacrifice of human life, society should do without that commodity, but it can not do without that life.”
