The original concept for the show was known as "Core Dump" and featured Data undergoing a split-personality phase where he is almost torn apart.
   

W. Morgan Sheppard later played a Klingon in Star Trek VI and Qatai in spinoff Voyager's fifth season "Bliss".
   

Suzie Plakson, the first speaking Vulcan Starfleet Officer, would later go onto play K'Ehyler in "The Emissary" and "Reunion", and future into the future, played the female Andorian in prequel Enterprise's "Cease Fire".
   

Tormé later revealed he had wanted a relationship between Selar and Worf.
   

Dr Selar got mentions in subsequent episodes "Tapestry", "Suspicions", "Sub Rosa" and "Genesis".
   

Data's lack of ego was to be centre of this episode, but the scenes ended up on the cutting room floor. Data's impersonation of Riker's beard was also set to take the next step when he went bald to emulate Picard, but the scene was also axed.
