An original plot for this episode intended to deal with the issue of male menopause. Jameson wasn't supposed to die, but instead regress to the age of 14, losing all memory of his wife (source - Star Trek - The Next Generation Companion.)
   

The wheelchair designed for Jameson cost over $10,000 and kept malfunctioning during takes.
   

Michael Pataki (Karnas) previously played Korax, Koloth's aide in "The Trouble with Tribbles" where he famously taunts Scotty about the Enterprise being a garbage-scow.
   

The wall behind Karnas' desk contains phasers from 1960s Trek and the movie era. Also hung is Portal's staff from the earlier episode "The Last Outpost".
