Notes
- Sela’s lineage as daughter of Tasha Yar heavily leans on the events of “Yesterday’s Enterprise” in the alternate timeline.
- The concept of Sela being a daughter of Tasha Yar was an idea from Denise Crosby herself who enjoyed her time on Yesterday’s Enterprise and wanted to return.
- The only episode that Sela appears in where she’s referred to by name.
- Part II was directed by David Carson. He did not direct Part I.
- The Klingon bird of prey flying towards the sun is reused footage from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
- This episode is the last time the Duras sisters appear in Star Trek:TNG, but do make two further appearances in the franchise as a whole after this.
- The last appearance (in TNG) as Kurn for Tony Todd.
- Toral (the son of Duras) is next seen in the Deep Space Nine episode “The Sword of Kahless“, when he’s played by someone else.
- Officially this episode is titled “Redemption II” vs the usual thing they’d do “Redemption Part II”. It feels weird without the “Part” in there.
