• References are made to the Botany Bay and Khan Noonien Singh, which, in the timeline of the Star Trek universe, would later be encountered by Captain Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 in the The Original Series episode, Space Seed.
• Arik Soong decides to work on plans for cybernetics, saying it may take "a generation or two", a nod to the work of Noonien Soong, as seen in The Next Generation.
