	Sulu does not appear in this episode.
	This episode was parodied in The Simpsons episode "Deep Space Homer" (which, in and of itself, is a parody of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's title). In the season 5 episode, Homer Simpson fights Barney Gumbel in the Triskelion arena with the classic Star Trek "fight music" playing in the background, while one of the NASA administrators bets "quatloos on the newcomer."
	Joseph Ruskin would later return to Star Trek twenty-six years after this episode, with three appearances in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, as well as roles in Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Insurrection and Star Trek: Enterprise.
