Trivia / Star Trek: The Next Generation S1 E5 "Where No One Has Gone Before"

• Cast the Runner-Up: Erik Menyuk (The Traveler) was the runner-up for Data.
• What Could Have Been:
  • In the original teleplay, Kosinski was responsible for both the warp effect and the accident. He also had a son, who felt his father is more interested in his work, than him. The hallucinations were much more bizarre than in the actual episode: Jack Crusher appeared to Picard and Beverly, and the Enterprise appeared inside a "cosmological egg". When the starship escaped, it exploded and caused the birth of a new universe. As a sort of "Biblical pun", the Enterprise spends six days "missing", and Picard orders the next day to be a day of rest.
  • Daniel Petrie was originally going to direct the episode, but was lured away to direct the film Cocoon: The Return. In his place they hired a newbie director named Rob Bowman, who so impressed the producers with his work here that he subsequently became the show's main director for the rest of the first two seasons.
