Plait reported contacting Okuda who revealed that Okuda and his wife, Denise and graphic artist James Van Over, were all huge fans of The West Wing. Okuda is reported as saying that "one of my rules regarding jokes was that they should never be apparent to the casual viewer.

Mike and Denise Okuda served as consultants on the project to upgrade Star Trek: The Next Generation to high definition.
