Notes

• The first episode to air in 1994, the last year TNG was on the air.
• Music was done by John Debney as someone I know who did the music for the Doctor Who 1996 TV Movie.
• The series finale of Star Trek: Enterprise (“These Are the Voyages…“) has its plot woven with this episode. The “TNG parts” of that episode take place during the events of this one.
• Ronald D. Moore says this episode’s script was based off the book “Raise the Titanic!“.
• The first time an Enterprise is shown to cloak since the TOS episode “The Enterprise Incident“.
• The entire concept of “Capt Picard Day” was created so they could have an excuse to use Jonathan Frakes’ impression of Patrick Stewart.
• Troi is barely in this one, only in the opening teaser, which has no bearing on the episode. However the aforementioned Enterprise episode shows what Deanna was doing.
