Talk:The Icarus Factor (episode)

James Worthy?
Didn't Los Angeles Laker star James Worthy also play a cameo as a Klingon in this episode?


 * James Worthy does not appear in this episode, however, he is the Klingon Koral in the episode . Jdvelasc 20:44, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Forum:Ship in "The Icarus Factor"
In "The Icarus Factor", 25 minutes into the episode, Captain Picard is in his ready room. He is looking at a LCARS display of what I believe is a ship. Is he looking at a ship, and is it Galaxy Class or something else?--Airtram3 12:22, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It's just a lateral view of a ship, presumably the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D). --Jörg 13:08, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Title?
Why is it called "The Icarus Factor"? --64.12.117.6 15:34, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * According to Greek mythology, Icarus and his father, Daedalus, tried to escape their exile on Crete using wings made out of wax. Despite the warnings of his father, Icarus flew to close to the sun, causing his wings to melt, and he fell into the sea. He died because he did not heed his father's advise. This episode is called "The Icarus Factor" because of Riker's estranged relationship with his father. --From Andoria with Love 17:44, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
