This episode was criticized as being a rip off of classic Trek's "Wolf in the Fold".
	The mention of duranium is a tip of the hat to classic Trek's "The Menagerie".
	Troi's squeezing of Riker's hand after he is cleared was designed by the writers to signify the Troi/Riker relationship was still alive.
