Trivia / Star Trek: The Next Generation S5E25 "The Inner Light"

• Creator's Favorite Episode: Co-producer Peter Lauritson's favorite, and Patrick Stewart considered it to be his greatest challenge as an actor in all of TNG.
• Real-Life Relative: Kamin's son Batai is played by Daniel Stewart, Patrick's son. The receding hairline is a dead giveaway.
• What Could Have Been: The episode's writer Morgan Gendel pitched a sequel where it turns out the Kataan civilization launched a vehicle in addition to the probe on which Picard discovers Eline in suspended animation. The producers rejected the concept.
