J Michael Bingham is actually a pseudonym for D C Fontana.
	John D F Black (co-writer), wrote the original series episode "The Naked Time", of which Rick Berman describes this episode as "an homage, not a copy ... we even mentioned the old Enterprise and its remedy, which doesn’t help our crew after all"
	The S.S. Tsiolkovsky miniature is a redress of the U.S.S. Grissom from Star Trek III The Search for Spock.
