- TriviaWax from a blue candle was used to represent the dilithium pieces.
- GoofsST:TNG Technical Manual says that antimatter cannot be beamed through a transporter without making extensive modifications to the circuitry. Yet Wesley took no such precautions, and was still able to beam it safely. On the other hand, Wesley is a total genius and his project could have involved the creation of a means for containing antimatter that can be beamed. For the story to work, that would be exactly what happened.

Featured review
Kolrami....what a big butt-head!
The guest alien in this episode is a weirdo named Sirna Kolrami. While pretty harmless looking, Kolrami is apparently a savant when it comes to strategy and is the universe's greatest at some game involving strategy. The problem is that Kolrami is also a big butt- head--with an arrogance that makes him difficult to say the least. The reason that Kolrami is on the Enterprise is that he is to supervise a war game between the ship and an older, mothballed ship, the Hathaway. Riker is given command of this other ship and creates a crew for it from Enterprise staff. But, given that the Hathaway is old, has no warp drive and is at a huge disadvantage is most every way, the odds against Riker are tremendous. What's worse-- Kolrami has complete contempt for Riker and his strategic skills. Add to this mix a nearby Ferengi crew who are watching and hoping for an opportunity for some profit.
This is a pretty good episode. Well written, a bit funny and memorable.
