Notes

Rasmussen is actually a 22nd century "inventor" who stole a time machine from a real historian and brings back technology from the future to "invent" it in his present.
Rasmussen is taken into custody and the time machine leaves without him.
Though unnamed in this episode, Ensign Felton shares the conn with Ensign Ro for the remainder of the season.
