- Harsher in Hindsight: Gowron's Ungrateful Bastard response to Picard and the Federation. This will continue into DS9 and have dire repercussions for both Worf and the UFP at large.
- Padding: Part 1 is really just a prologue for part 2, and it shows. On the DVDs, the episode's writer outright refers to it as "a big tap dance until Spock shows up."
- Retroactive Recognition: B'Ijik, the Klingon Obstructive Bureaucrat that Picard has to deal with, looks familiar, doesn't he? That's Erick Avari, before he became "That Guy". K'Vada, the captain of the Bird of Prey that escorts Picard and Data to Romulus, is himself played by future "That Guy" Stephen Root.
- WTH, Costuming Department?: This episode shows that the Romulan Navy's unusual style extends to the civilian population.
