1* DeletedScene: After Data explains the theory of alternate quantum realities, he postulates an example in which, in an alternate reality, Captain Riker chose to sit at the other end of the table, and another in which he might be standing. Beverly Crusher then states that, at that very moment, there are an infinite number of Enterprises and infinite number of her having the same discussion. Data agrees, but states that on some of those Enterprises, there might not be a Doctor Crusher.
2* DevelopmentGag: In at least two realities, Riker has been the ''Enterprise'''s captain since "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E26S4E1TheBestOfBothWorlds The Best of Both Worlds]]", which was strongly considered when it was unclear if Creator/PatrickStewart would renew his contract.
3* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
4** Originally it was going to be Picard hopping between realities, but Creator/BrannonBraga thought Picard's relationships wouldn't change much from reality to reality, and thus would be less jarring, so he decided to make it happen to Worf instead.
5** The writers thought of bringing back Tasha Yar on one of the alternate ''Enterprise''s, but it got vetoed because it was redundant after "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E15YesterdaysEnterprise Yesterday's Enterprise]]". However, they did bring back Wesley Crusher.
6** The ''Enterprise'' that tried to shoot at Worf was originally supposed to be from the MirrorUniverse. This was changed, in part because they couldn't figure out a good reason for a mirror ''Enterprise'' to be attacking Worf's shuttle other than ForTheEvulz, and also because ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' had its own Mirror Universe episode in the works, the story of which made the existence of an ISS ''Enterprise''-D impossible.
