Notes

• The first episode directed by Patrick Stewart.
• Michele Scarabelli was the main guest star in this episode. She was well known for being in the main cast of Alien Nation.  She was also Bobby Ewing’s first secretary in “Dallas” (another show I adore).
• The last episode with Data’s cat Spot as played by a a Somali cat.  Future appearances are by an orange short hair tabby cat.
• The only episode where we see inside a torpedo bay.
• The nebula looks awfully similar to the nebula in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
