* Normally one would think a Klingon officer would be thrilled upon defeating and killing his treacherous captain. However, Ma'ah seems rather reserved and almost somber as he gazes upon the floor after Dorg's death. Though he's not granted much time to dwell on what had just happened.

* In a way, Nick Locarno's entire situation. While he greets Mariner like an old friend, we see from flashbacks and from Mariner's own admission that she barely knew him. When you start looking at it further, the other people in the scene with Nick aside from Mariner are all gone. Wesley has ascended to a higher plane of existence, and both Joshua and Sito are dead. Mariner is clearly framed as the only person left from that time period. Take into account that Nick was essentially Beta Tom Paris, who went on to have an illustrious career in Starfleet, got the second chance Nick never got, and became a loving family man, while Nick remained single and alone. It really highlights what a sad, bitter and lonely life Nick had.
