Jonathan Frakes got to demonstrate his real-life trombone playing skills in this episode with his rendition of "The Nearness of You".
   

The four actors playing the Bynars were all women dancers whose voice was mechanically lowered in pitch. Originally, they were designed to speak covertly to each other and were going to be subtitled.
   

The shots used on the Starbase planet Tarsus III and its moon were reused from Star Trek III.
   

Originally, there was a scene with 26-year old Dr Terence Epstein, research hero of Dr. Crusher. However it was cut, and the Doctor was only mentioned in passing.
