** In fact, he really ''was'' just an extra in "Encounter at Farpoint": the character is not named and is just the RedShirt manning Navigation, wearing the rank of Ensign. He would later appear in his more familiar role in the Transporter room, as a ''lieutenant'', but referred to as the "transporter chief". He wouldn't get a full name or his more familiar rank of Chief Petty Officer until several seasons into the show. All that said, it *is* Miles O'Brien in each appearance and not just Colm Meaney playing several characters, as "All Good Things" retcons his first appearance in "Encounter at Farpoint" as specifically being O'Brien.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: When ''TNG'' debuted, Whoopi Goldberg had been recently nominated for an Academy Award for her turn in ''Literature/TheColorPurple''. She was also known for her stand-up comedy, and would go on to make funny films, including ''Film/Ghost1990'' and ''Film/SisterAct'', during her tenure on the show. All told, it was rather surprising for such a rising star to be willing to relegate herself to the SciFiGhetto: when [=LeVar=] Burton, who was a friend of hers, relayed her desire to appear on the show, everyone thought he was joking. But Goldberg cited Creator/NichelleNichols, who played Lieutenant Uhura in the original series, not only as her acting inspiration, but a personal hero who helped her realize that her race and sex would never limit her: "Well, when I was nine years old, ''Star Trek'' came on, I looked at it and I went screaming through the house: 'Come here, Momma, everybody, come quick, come quick, there's a black lady on television and she ain't no maid!' I knew right there and then I could be anything I wanted to be." As such, Goldberg went to Creator/GeneRoddenberry personally and asked for a role on ''TNG,'' offering to play a janitor in the background just to honor Nichols. Guinan was the result.
