“Your father is a part of you, always. Learning about him
teaches you about yourself. That is why, no matter
where he is or what he has done, you must find him.”
Director Winrich Kolbe was challenged by the task of providing appropriately surreal imagery for the scenes of Data’s visions. “I wanted to go all the way. I saw nothing but shades of 2001. But it was decided by the powers that be, that we would not overexpose or underexpose. If we do anything, I was told we underexpose, but this is not what I had in mind. I wanted to actually flare it out to give it that different look, but some people felt that it had been done too often and would not look good. So then I decided I’m not going to talk about my creative input anymore, I’m just going to do what I want to do.”
This episode is the second of only a handful of episodes throughout Star Trek to feature crossover appearances by characters from a spin-off series – in this case, characters from DS9 appear in TNG. A further such crossover was made near the end of TNG’s run, with an appearance by Quark in “Firstborn”.
Check for the DS9 theme at the beginning of the episode.
yeah for a second there I thought I had put the wrong disc in 
'Talos trivia! It’s just not a Trek frak without it. 
Picard seems unenthused about speaking with Bajoran bureaucrats.
hehe Picard saying ops is funny
“First, they bathe you in a protein bath.”
Like Kabuki theater? :rolleyes:
Bashir being all sneaky trying to use medical facilities without permission.
He works in a frontier lab, and a nice fancy lab rolls up on him? How could he resist?
oh, Khitomer. We seem to never be able to get past Khitomer.
he’s kinda squirrelly like that.
(turns out I don’t like him as much earlier on as I do later in the series. Le sigh, as you might say)
Question: Do we want to go straight through both episodes or take a break between them?
I’d like to go straight through, but I’ll go along with whatever.
The noises from Worf’s training sounded oddly non-martial there for a moment.
Check for Morn in this episode, as well.
Naked wrestling men statue, while Worf is grunting.
Hmm. :rolleyes:
… or would you like to break some more furniture?
ha.
During Data’s second vision, after he turns into a bird and flies past Noonian Soong, a member of the filming crew can be briefly seen sitting in the side corridor behind Dr. Soong.
And no. It wasn’t a suicide.
Poor Wizard of OZ joke.
“That Euridian is selling lies!”
Half-truths are a real bargain, BTW.
James Cromwell, who portrays Jaglom Shrek, has made several apprearances in Star Trek, including the inventor of the first warp drive, Zefram Cochrane a Karemma official in DS9: “Starship Down” and Prime Minister Nayrok of Angosia III, in TNG: “The Hunted”.
