Notes

• There is an “Ensign Janeway” mentioned (but not seen) in this episode. This has no connection to the Capt Janeway of Star Trek: Voyager.
• This episode is based around the book “The Picture of Dorian Gray“.  As such, the ship at the beginning of the episode is named “Dorian”.
• This episode was written in a rush, as the next episode was supposed to be filmed here, but had to be pushed back due to availability of Jimmy Doohan.
• The first episode to have Jonathan West as director of photography, as the original director (Marvin Rush) moved over to Deep Space Nine, now that it was in full production.
• The ship’s red alert sound changed at this point (and all episodes going forward).
• An outfit worn by Troi in this episode was previously worn by the companion of a Ferengi in the episode “Unification II“.
