- TriviaLeonard Nimoy had not previously appeared on the show because he had set his asking price for such an appearance at $1 million, which was far beyond the budget of the series. However, since this episode was in some ways a "teaser" for the upcoming Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) (on which Nimoy was an executive producer, and entitled to a percentage of the profits of that film), Nimoy agreed to appear in this two-part story for standard SAG pay.
- GoofsWhen Picard meets Perrin on the Enterprise, he gives her a cup of mint tea that is filled up to a marked line on the mug.
- Quotes
[Picard is requesting a cloaked vessel from Chancellor Gowron through B'iJik, a junior adjutant]
B'iJik: How would it benefit the Klingon Empire? I'm sure Gowron will ask.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: The only benefit to the Klingon Empire would be our gratitude.
B'iJik: That is what you want me to tell him?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Yes. And please add that, if he is unable to provide us with a ship, then I am sure there are others in the Klingon Empire who would be willing to help me. And then... *they* would have our gratitude.
B'iJik: [long pause] I see.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Also, please tell Gowron that I am *immensely* gratified that he is prospering so well. A tribute to his skilled leadership.

You only see Spock at the very, very end of the show. But it's worth seeing because you get a final look at his father, Sarek. He's dying and Picard makes a pilgrimage there to talk to him about his missing son. It's all very interesting and I generally enjoy the Romulan episodes. Too bad part 2 is messed up by a special guest star...one I never particularly enjoyed.
