Dan Curry, normally the visual effects supervisor, drew on his martial arts background to design Worf's bat'leth weapon and helped Michael Dorn develop the correct movements while wielding it.
   
First appearance of Robert O'Reilly as Gowron. He previously played the hoodlum Scarface in "Manhunt".
   
Michael Rider (Security Guard) was the main transporter chief in earlier episodes.
   
The Sonchi Pain Sticks are ceremonial redresses of the ones used on Worf in "The Icarus Factor".
