1* ActingForTwo: The main cast and their holodeck versions. Lucky boy Creator/WilWheaton mostly just had to sit there and eat pie in a silly outfit.
2* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: Creator/LeVarBurton listed this episode among his favorites, along with "Elementary, Dear Data" and "Ship In A Bottle".
3* FirstAppearance: For Lieutenant Reginald Barclay, aka "Reg." He would make a few more appearances in this series, and even stick around for ''[[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyager]].''
4* PlayingAgainstType: After years of being known for the extroverted [[Series/TheATeam H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock]], Dwight Schultz played Barclay, Murdock's polar opposite.
5* RealitySubtext: Guinan speaking very supportively of Barclay to Geordi. Creator/WhoopiGoldberg had personally recommended Dwight Schultz to TNG's producers for any part that came along.
6* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to the script, Barclay's full name was "Endicott Reginald Barclay III" before the first and middle names were switched around.
