Notes

• The final episode of the series.
• Production on Star Trek Generations actually began before this finished – the scenes on Enterprise-B were filmed first.
• As originally broadcast, it was a single episode, but for production and distribution concerns, it is counted as two episodes.
• This episode won the 1995 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation.
• The novelization of the story expands on things and has scenes with Dr. Pulaski, Lwaxana Troi, & Wesley Crusher.
• Features the return of Denise Crosby as Tasha Yar, Colm Meaney as Miles O’Brien, and John DeLancie as Q.
• Andreas Katsulas returns as Tomalak, a character not seen since Season 4’s “Future Imperfect“.
• The bridge of the USS Pasteur is a redress of the bridge of the mercenary ship from “Gambit“.
• The footage of Riker without a beard was taken from the Season 1 episode “The Arsenal of Freedom“.
• The only episode of the Worf / Troi romance plot that shows any jealously from Riker.  This is where it ends, though – after this Worf & Troi as a couple are done.
