This episode teamed up two stars from Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan - Judson Scott and the late Merritt Butrick.
   

The episode was famous for its "Just Say No" anti-drug speech between Tasha and Wesley.
   

Kenneth Tigar went uncredited in this episode as the Ornaran Leader Margan.
   

Merritt Butrick died of AIDS a year after this episode was completed.
   

In filming terms, this was Denise Crosby's final episode of TNG. She is seen in her final scene waving goodbye from behind a console just as the corridor doors close behind Picard and Crusher.
   

Due to the mysterious stardates of earlier episodes "The Big Goodbye" and "The Arsenal of Freedom", both shows feature Tasha appearing after her death!
