Episode Behind the Scenes

The episode was originally entitled "Q Me?"
   
The original plot involved Wesley Crusher, a teenage love affair and an unwanted pregnancy.
   
Matthew Corey (part-writer) on True Q - "It was kind of the mirror of three years ago when Michael Piller called me one day - after more than year of sending scripts to Star Trek and having them rejected - and them saying they wanted."
   
The Amanda character was originally to be called Samantha, a tip of the hat to Elizabeth Montgomery's character in "Bewitched".
   
The single biggest scene in this episode was cut for time and involved Troi who brought Amanda a vacationing crewman's dog named Henry to "dog site". A scene where she conjures up a puppy litter was cut for time.
   
The Warp Core breach was filmed by having FX man Dick Brownfield squirt liquid nitrogen onto the warp core over specially appliquéd flashing bulbs.
