“There is no substitute, Lieutenant, for personal reconnoiter.”
Quoted from Memory Alpha:
“Although the episode was supposed to focus on Clayton Rohner’s character, the regular cast felt that Rohner did not work in the ensemble manner too well.”
That sounds like some interesting behind-the-scenes moments.
Let the prima-donna-ing begin! 
Karnas has a phaser from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, a phaser from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, a modified Klingon disruptor rifle and Portal 63’s staff from TNG: “The Last Outpost” hanging on his wall behind his desk.
The actor who plays Karnas was in Trouble with Tribbles.
Rohner’s make-up during the earlier parts of the show was a source of disappointment, being described as “sub-par” and ineffective.
Admiral Jameson’s state-of-the-art twenty-fourth century wheelchair was a problem. It cost the prop department ten thousand dollars but it did not even move well enough to be anything more than a hindrance, and Bowman simply had to shoot around it.
This is the first time in TNG we have dealings with an Admiral. Of course, he’s a dick.
he’s the infamous Klingon who called the Enterprise a “garbage scow” is he not?
He looks painfully old. I can’t imagine that he’d still be working at that level of decrepitude. :eek:
Not to mention, I doubt his wheelchair even beeps! 
And old, shriveled dick that can’t even stand up. :eek:
it’s nowhere near as cool as Pike’s
I heard that happens. I wouldn’t know ponders growing old yet.
So what happened to not negotiating with terrorists?
Looks comfy, though. $10K comfy.
Oh. My. :eek:
I can see having doors that open when you walk up to them, but are drawers that require more than opening and closing by hand really necessary?
Is her necklace made of razorblades? :eek:
The original script used the reverse aging device to deal with the issue of male menopause. In that version Jameson helps Karnas and his rival, the high priest, sit down to talk peace talks and does not die at the end. Instead, he regresses to the age of fourteen and loses all memory of his wife.
Um, spoiler alert. :rolleyes:
don’t tell me you haven’t seen this, Mr B
