Out of all the scripts Jeri Taylor has produced, this is the one of which she is most proud..
	Jonathan Frakes had previously worked with Oscar nominee Jean Simmons in "North and South".
	The starship which ferries Satie is the Oberth-class U.S.S. Cochrane, a modified Grissom from Star Trek III.
	Picard claims he took command of the Enterprise on stardate 41124, that's after the ship's launch of SD 40759.5 but before the first captain's log on stardate 41153.7.
	Ronald D. Moore's original proposal was called "It Can't Happen Here".
	The episode came a massive $250,000 under budget.
	Bruce French (Sabin Genestra) also plays an Ocampan in spinoff Voyager's pilot episode "Caretaker".
