[edit] Memorable Quotes
"You mean they won't wish to destroy me, Voss? Rubbish. I am expendable - and true to my race, I accept whatever fate has in store."
- - Horek, dismissing his status as an "ace in the hole"
[edit] Background
[edit] Characters
- Kirk wears a red uniform.
- Voss knows that Spock is Horek's cousin. It may have been common knowledge on the Dorado, since it appears that the officers (including Horek) and the crew (including Voss) did not fraternize.
- Horek goes along with Voss' mutiny, acting as a navigator.
[edit] Setting and technology
- The Dorado is described as a Federation "guardship". The commanders are referred to as "officers", while the rest of the personnel are "crew". This may mean the ship was largely manned by enlisted personnel . The ship's exterior is remarkably similar to that of Discovery One from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
- The Dorado incident is said to be the first mutiny in Federation history. This places the episode after "The Tholian Web" (2268).
- When hailing the Dorado, Kirk yells into a microphone.
- It is specifically stated that "all Enterprise strike equipment was controlled from the armaments officer's station on the bridge." This implies that the phaser room is no longer in use by this point.
