Notes

  • A simulacrum of 'Trip' Tucker reportedly holds the key to the engineer's survival when he falls ill. (September 24, 2003 - TrekToday)

  • Scott Bakula: "It involves an explosion on the ship that gravely injures Trip, and an effort to clone Trip in order to replace the part of his brain that's been damaged. I don't want to give too much more away about it, because it's really interesting and deals with a lot of topical issues dealing with cloning." (October 02, 2003 - TrekToday)

  • Manny Coto was the creator and executive producer of the short-lived Showtime series Odyssey 5. (October 02, 2003 - TrekToday)
