* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The ''Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual'' featured a landing sequence for the ''Enterprise-D'' saucer section. Ronald D. Moore, Brannon Braga, and Jeri Taylor were inspired by this and wanted the sixth season to end with the saucer section crash landing on an alien planet. However, it was deemed too expensive for a television budget. They eventually got to [[Film/StarTrekGenerations implement]] their original a year later.

* CastingGag: A minor in-show example: the ''Enterprise'' is forced to hide within a star's corona by using an experimental shield. The lieutenant at Tactical doesn't think that the shield will work, but is proven wrong. The actor played a different character in a previous episode who tried to make it appear that the shield ''didn't'' work.
