Kevin and Dan talk about how this episode serves as a sneak peek at what would become The Motion Picture, which would come out about a decade after this first aired. They also talk about how maybe this isn't the most fun to re-watch, but it does give some insights into parent/child relationships, how Kirk is becoming an expert on talking computers to death, and what must it have been like for Leonard Nimoy to talk like a robot after all the acting experience he had. Nomad-sterilize, Nomad, sterilize, Nomad, sterilize. . . .
