Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNBA star James Worthy's appearance as Koral came about due to a chance meeting on an airplane with Robert O'Reilly (Chancellor Gowron). Worthy had always wanted to appear on Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987). At O'Reilly's urging, Worthy met with the producers, and they considered the possibility of a cameo role. This timed perfectly with the need for filler elements in the Gambit story arc. Thus Koral was created.
- GoofsWith Data's promotion to first officer after the supposed death of Picard, his position in command means he should be wearing a red uniform instead of the gold one he normally wears, just as he did in Chain of Command, Part II (1992). However, he keeps wearing his gold uniform throughout Gambit.

[last lines]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Number One, will you set a course for Starbase 227, I'll join you on the bridge shortly.
Commander William T. Riker: Wait a minute - you've been declared dead. You can't give orders around here.
Lt. Commander Data: [to Riker] If we are to adhere to the exact letter of Starfleet regulations, then technically, sir, you have been declared a renegade. In fact, I believe you are facing twelve counts of court martial offenses. You cannot give orders either, sir.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: That's quite right. And as I am supposed to be dead, I'll go and get some sleep, and Mr. Data, I suggest that you escort Commander Riker to the brig.
Lt. Commander Data: Aye, sir.
[while Picard enters his quarters, an amused Riker starts to go about his own business, when Data holds him back...]
Lt. Commander Data: This way, sir.
[... and, unperturbed, leads him away in the opposite direction]
Commander William T. Riker: Data, he was joking... You know that, right? Data?

Data even handled a personnel problem w/Worf in a stellar manner. I would have liked to have seen more episodes with Brent Spinner's Data in this type of role. However, the writers preferred to write classic Pinocchio Data or smirking Data (Dr. Soong / evil twin Lorn) episodes. I see that as a missed opportunity.
