Didja Know?
This story is loosely based on the episode
of the original Star Trek series, "The Tholian Web".
Didja Notice?
This issue opens on stardate 2262.54.
In his captain's log, Kirk states that the ship is now close
enough to re-establish contact with Starfleet and make
repairs after the events of the past few weeks (seen in
"Behemoth" and
"Eurydice"). And at the end
of the next issue,
"The Tholian Webs" Part
2, Kirk's log states they have resumed course to the
nearest starbase for repair and resupply. Yet, the ship was
supposedly in the Delta Quadrant "decades from home" at even
the ship's highest velocity at the end of
"Eurydice" Part 3! How did
they get back to Federation space so fast? Did another,
unchronicled, adventure take place in between
"Eurydice" Part 3 and this
issue?
The Enterprise is ripped out of warp by a pocket of
interphase. This is similar to what happened in the original
series episode
"The Tholian Web".
The O'Neill character appearing in this issue may be the
same one who appeared in
"The Galileo Seven"
two-parter.
On page 10, the doctor examining McCoy in sickbay is an
Andorian.
The Enterprise undergoes saucer separation in this
issue. This happened previously in
"I, Enterprise"
Part 1.
The Tholians seem to build their webs much more quickly here
than they did in the original timeline in
"The Tholian Web".
The Tholian ships seen here look different from any seen in
the original timeline.
