Michael Piller and Rick Berman had originally intended not to end season five on a cliffhanger, but the planned spinoff Deep Space Nine changed all that.
	Michael Piller on "Time's Arrow, Part I": "Because of all the attention Deep Space Nine was getting and the rumor that Next Generation would be shutting down, we wanted to send a message that this show was alive and well and continuing to grow."
	At first, Piller wanted to bring the crew back to the 1990s but discarded the idea after it had been done in Star Trek IV. Other time eras discussed included the 1960s and 1930s.
	Before Joe Menosky when on sabbatical, he left notes on the concluding segment that would open the sixth season.
	Ken Thorley (Seaman) was Mr. Mot in "Ensign Ro" and later "Schisms".
	The San Francisco exteriors were shot on location at historic Pico House and along Olvera Street, the restored area near the first mission in old Los Angeles.
	Data's hotel room and gambling table were shot on a re-dress of a Stage 9 area and in the Planet Hell caves and caverns on Stage 16.
	Troi's quote from Data regarding friendship is straight from his good bye speech to Ishara Yar in "Legacy".
