- TriviaThe cabinets in Captain Georgiou's ready room are filled with props that contain Easter eggs, but most are too difficult to make out in during the show. Behind the scenes photos reveal a bottle of 2249 Château Picard wine, Starfleet medals previously awarded to Jonathan Archer and James T. Kirk and a diploma from an Andorian military academy. The books on these shelves all feature Star Trek (1966) episode titles including The Cage (1966), Balance of Terror (1966), The City on the Edge of Forever (1967), Amok Time (1967), Mirror, Mirror (1967), Metamorphosis (1967), The Deadly Years (1967), The Trouble with Tribbles (1967), Return to Tomorrow (1968), Patterns of Force (1968), By Any Other Name (1968), The Omega Glory (1968), Plato's Stepchildren (1968), The Empath (1968), Whom Gods Destroy (1969), The Mark of Gideon (1969), That Which Survives (1969), The Way to Eden (1969) and All Our Yesterdays (1969).
- GoofsDespite a claim that Michael Burnham cannot be a mutineer, since the rest of the USS Shenzhou crew never disobeyed the captain's orders, Michael did knowingly attack the captain and tried to take over the ship, which is the definition of a mutiny, so Michael is in fact a mutineer, even if the rest of the crew is not.
- Quotes
Saru: Their hull is covered in hollow, ornamental metallic pods, thousands of them, tightly interlocked, forming a kind of... armor.
Michael Burnham: Not the most efficent defense.
Saru: I suspect its purpose is more symbolic than practical. They contain Klingon biological material in various states of decay. Remote dating is wildly divergent. Some bones date back thousands of years, others only hours old.
Michael Burnham: Their entire ship is covered with coffins.
Saru: Commander, the captain listens to you. Tell her. We must withdraw.
Michael Burnham: I'm afraid that's no longer possible.
Saru: Your world has food chains. Mine does not. Our species map is binary. We are either predator or prey. My people were hunted. Bred. Farmed. We are your livestock of old. We were biologically determined for one purpose and one purpose alone: to sense the coming of death. I sense it coming now.
