Notes

  • Troi does not appear in this episode.
  • The makeup for Geordi to get into his transformed mode took six hours, the longest makeup job for anyone in the entire history of the show.
  • The neural stimulator used by Crusher when she’s about to perform surgery looks identical to the one used in “Shades of Gray“.
  • This episode was nominated for an Emmy Award for “Outstanding Achievement in Makeup for a Series”.  It did not win.
  • In the DVD versions of this episode, there’s a screen in engineering that shows the real life logo for Star Trek:TNG on it.   This was not on the Blu-Ray version I watched for this marathon.

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek TNG Ep 92 - Identity Crisis - 25 Mar 1991 2/2 else. A pretty straightforward Geordi heavy plot. Main cast outside of Picard & Crusher are minimal. Some heavy duty makeup on Burton. One of those that doesn't hold a ton of drama as you know it will get reset at the end.
