####Analysis

The fact that aliens of several races — including a Centauri — all seemed to agree that humans had no business fighting in the Mutai seems to indicate that there is a lot of resentment toward humans among the other races, enough that they see the distinction between humans and themselves as much greater than the distinctions between each other.
####Notes

Walker Smith was the real name of famed boxer Sugar Ray Robinson.

Guest star Greg McKinney died on April 12, 1998. Coincidentally, Sugar Ray Robinson died on April 12, 1989.
