* The simulation makes frequent mention of the Fornax Disaster, an incident that sparked the Federation-Romulan alliance. For ''Franchise/MassEffect'' fans, this takes on a very different meaning, as "Fornax" is the name of a xenophilia porn magazine. Which, come to think of it, is not out of character for William Riker to be involved in a disaster related to that, either...

* TheWoobie: Barash. He may have essentially kidnapped Riker but look at his situation. His world was destroyed in an invasion, his family and possibly his entire race are dead, and he's spent years alone on a desolate planet with only holograms for company. And by his species standard he's still a child. You can't really blame him for wanting someone real to interact with.

*** Picard is shown as an Admiral. ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' revealed that Picard was promoted to Admiral before resigning over Starfleet's treatment of, [[HarsherInHindsight tragically enough]], the Romulans.
** After Picard is informed Riker had amnesia, he says "To lose sixteen years. It's almost beyond belief." Creator/JonathanFrakes would later host the TV series ''Series/BeyondBeliefFactOrFiction''.

** Despite being a FakedRipVanWinkle scenario, the episode seems strangely prescient about future ''Star Trek'' developments:
*** Riker comments about how unlikely it was to see a Ferengi Starfleet officer. On ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', Nog became the first Ferengi to serve in Starfleet.
*** Similarly, Riker is surprised to see a female Klingon officer. ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' would feature Lt. B'Elanna Torres, the female half-Klingon/half-Human chief of engineering.
*** Geordi no longer has his VISOR, his eyes having replaced with cloned implants. In ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'', we see Geordi had replaced his VISOR with cybernetic implants, and in ''Film/StarTrekInsurrection'', [[ThrowingOffTheDisability he temporarily gains real eyes]] regenerated by the Ba'ku planet.
*** Set 16 years in the future, Admiral Picard tells Riker that the Federation has been in peace talks with the Romulans for the last 4 years, which is right around the time ''Film/StarTrekNemesis'' takes place. And Riker's ship was in charge of the task force handling the negotiations with the Romulans.
*** Troi is seen in a standard uniform. She would start wearing a standard uniform again in season 6's "Chain of Command".
