On page 1, Nesmith records a "commander's log". In "Destiny Be Mine!", the term used is "commandblog" instead.

On page 4, Fred tells the crewmembers whom he's digitizing down to Dryth to "break a leg". It's possible Fred is superstitious like Alexander, as in theater it is considered bad luck to wish a fellow actor good luck, so they say "break a leg" or some other such negative outcome to actually mean "good luck" without saying it.

After the landing party is digitized onto the surface of Dryth, Nesmith and Gwen find their heads have been placed on each other's bodies! Brandon is able to rectify the situation by remembering an episode of the new GQ TV series wherein Roc Ingersoll was seemingly atomized by the digitizer, but was able to be reconstituted because his data was still stored in the databanks. Performing the same trick as it was done on the show, Brandon restores the two to their original bodies. The concept of the body's data being stored in the transporter was used in various episodes of the Next Generation era of Star Trek.

On pages 21-22 Brandon uses a handheld datascanner to scan the arbu killed by Dac. The datascanner is the GQ equivalent of Star Trek's tricorders.
