Originally, the idea was to have Picard become involved with the Leah Brahms hologram.
	This was the first episode of TNG to be directed by a woman, and the first to be directed by regular Gabrielle Beaumont.
	The Christy Henshaw storyline and character would reappear in "Transfigurations".
	The real life Leah Brahms would eventually show up in "Galaxy's Child".
	The Art Staff originally wanted the holodeck model to be a complete warp engine, but due to time constraints the idea was shelved.
	The Promellian Battle Cruiser Cleponji was a redress of the Husnock ship from "The Survivors".
