- In this episode we learned that a crew of humans just larger than one centimeter in height could still operate the Enterprise.
- This episode's author, Paul Schneider, previously had written two episodes of the Original STAR TREK series,
"Balance of Terror" and "The Squire of Gothos."
- There was an error in this episode. After becoming smaller, Lieutenant Arex mentions that his eyes no
longer reach his station's opticals, but the navigator station has no opticals.
- This idea of some of the crew being miniaturized by some scientific phenomena, was used
again in the February 1998
STAR TREK: Deep Space Nine episode
"One Little Ship".
