| 1 | * CreatorBacklash: |
| 2 | ** Subverted; while the staff who worked on the episode (Creator/GeneRoddenberry, showrunner Maurice Hurley and teleplay writer Hannah Shearer) were pleased with the way Tasha's death was handled, the succeeding Michael Piller-led creative team thought that giving her a meaningless death was a terrible concept in itself, and the execution of it was even worse. This eventually resulted in "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E15YesterdaysEnterprise Yesterday's Enterprise]]." |
| 3 | ** In a more straightforward example, Joseph Stefano, who wrote the first draft of the story, refused to ever speak about the finished product in interviews. |
| 4 | ** Creator/JonathanFrakes didn't care for this episode, calling it "absurd". He also had to endure rolling around in black slime. |
| 5 | * EnforcedMethodActing: Creator/MarinaSirtis cried real tears filming Tasha's funeral, as she and Creator/DeniseCrosby had become good friends. |
| 6 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 7 | ** Ironically, Creator/DeniseCrosby has said that if she'd gotten more scenes like the one between her and Worf in the teaser, she would have stayed on the show. |
| 8 | ** Creator/RoddyMcDowall was a favorite of director Joseph L. Scanlan for voicing Armus. |
| 9 | ** The script for the episode has Picard getting Armus to lower his guard (and thereby the forcefield around the shuttle) by sweet-talking him. The finished episode does the opposite and has Picard give Armus a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, which so riles him up that he loses focus on the forcefield, allowing Troi and Picard to be beamed up. |
| 10 | ** At one point, Tasha's message was also going to include another line: "...and Data? It ''did'' happen.", referring to their brief physical liaison in "The Naked Now". |
