Star Trek TNG List of Lists

compiled by Mark Holtz

DISCLAIMER: "Star Trek", "Enterprise", and all other related items are

|
|
these lists on Paramount's legitimate copyright and trademarks is purely
|
|
unintentional, and will be corrected upon proper notification. These lists are
|

for the enjoyment of the reader only, and may not be sold. Some items in these
|
|
lists are taken from Mike Brown's "ST:TNG Program Guide", and no copyright

guide, not replace it. You are highly recommended to purchase Mr. Brown's

|
|
This is the Star Trek TNG List of Lists. It contains a listing of all the
|
|
episodes for "Star Trek: The Next Generation" TV series, plus some added
|
|
notes. (Due to length considerations, there is a separate TOS/TAS, Movies, and
|
|
DSN List of Lists) This list comes out around the 1st of every month with a
|
|
repost on the 16th, except July and August, when it will come out on the 1st
|
|
only. However, a posting may not come out due to events beyond my control.
|
|
If you are wondering why I compile these lists, it is strictly out of the
|
|
enjoyment of "Star Trek", and have welcomed the wealth of information posted
|
|
by other fellow Star Trek fans who post on the electronic networks. After
|
|
being irritated by the ever constant requests for episode lists on Usenet, I
|
|
decided that, in the middle of 1990, to post a list of episodes on a regular
|
|
basis. It soon grew from that, and, with the contributions of other people,
|
|
these lists grew to what you see today. (And still growing). The only payment
|
|
I ask is thanks and contributions, I am not making a dime off these
|
|
compilations.

|
|
"Death Train", with Patrick Stewart about terrorists taking over a train
|
|
containing a nuclear bomb, airs on the USA network on April 14th at 9 PM/8 PM
|
|
Central.
|
|
|
|
Lessons - Picard becomes romantically involved with a shipmate. At 3am, Picard
|
|
can't sleep and decides to get a drink and do some work, but Stellar
|
|
Cartography are using up all the computer power (hmmm....). When her gets down
|
|
to the lab to find out what's going on, he opens the door and ruins the
|
|
experiment. However, he and the Lieutenant Commander doing the work fall for
|
|
each other. (She is a pianist, and we have another scene with Data playing the
|
|
violin).
|
|
|
|
The Chase - Norman Lloyd (St Elsewhere) plays Picard's old archeology tutor.
|
|
He tries to talk Picard into leaving Starfleet and going off on some
|
|
mega-important dig with him. Lots of dilemma. Eventually, the ship gets roped
|
|
into this trip anyway. Loads of aliens: Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians and
|
|
some new ones. (Directed by Jonathan Frakes)
|
|
|
|
Frame of Mind - Riker is taking part in Bev's theatre group, playing a man in
|
|
an insane asylum. As time goes on, he inexplicably finds himself in a real
|
|
asylum, and the story mixes between these events. The others try to rescue
|
|
him, but he doesn't trust them. A 'what the heck's going on?' sort of story.
|
|
|
|
Suspicions - Dr Crusher is accused of murder. While she tries to investigate a
|
|
killing, a second murder takes place - and this time, she is the only one who
|
|
could have done it! Whoopi makes an appearance in his one.
|
|
|
|
Rightful Heir - Worf goes to a Klingon spiritual world to seek some answers
|
|
(after Birthright). Gowron is in this episode, plus a *load* of Klingon
|
|
extras.
|
|
|
|
Second Chances - Tackles the Riker/Troi romance. One guest star will be Mae
|
|
Jemison, who became the first African-American woman in space with her shuttle
|
|
voyage, will play a transporation engineer. The astronaut's real-life
|
|
credentials are breathtaking. SHe's an M.D., who also holds a degree in
|
|
chemical engineering from Cornell, and speaks Swahili, Japanese and Russian -
|
|
plus English, of course. Levar Burton directs.
|
|
|
|
- Next to last episode will be a time travel story.
|
|
|
|
Season Finalle - Yet another cliffhanger....with the BORG! Lore returns. Also,
|
|
Data will use the holodeck computer to fashion a poker game with great
|
|
physicists such as Albert Einstein, Issac Newton, and Stephen Hawking (as
|
|
himself).
|
|
|
|
Also scheduled....

|
|
meditation chamber. He will have a vision in which he sees her and is told
|
|
of her return. He must make sure, with the rest of the crew, that it is
|
|
truly her and not an imposter.

Seventh Season
|
|
-============-
|
|
According to various published reports, the seventh season will be the final
|
|
season of TNG, and the series will be proceeding to movies.
|
|
|
|
Syndication Notes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
"Star Trek: The Next Generation" is a syndicated program that is sold to each
|
|
individual station. It is not part of the FOX network, although many stations
|
|
that have purchased TNG are also part of FOX. The production code numbers
|
|
begin with 101 in order to prevent confusion with the original Star Trek
|
|
series.
|
|
|
|
United States/Canada
|
|
-==================-
|
|
The first run episodes are uplinked to the local stations on the Saturday and
|
|
Sunday of the Satellite Date. This uplinking is done through Keystone
|
|
Communications (formerly WOLD Communications), through AT&T's Telstar 301
|
|
which is located at 96 degrees west. The program is uplinked at the following
|
|
times on Transponder 9-Vertical Polarity (5V):
|
|
|
|
Saturdays - 2:00 PM- 3:00 PM ET/11:00 AM- Noon PT (D Feed)
|
|
Saturdays - 6:00 PM- 7:00 PM ET/ 3:00 PM- 4:00 PM PT (U Feed)
|
|
Sundays - 2:00 PM- 3:00 PM ET/11:00 AM- Noon PT (U Feed)
|
|
Sundays - 5:00 PM- 6:00 PM ET/ 2:00 PM- 3:00 PM PT (D Feed)
|
|
|
|
The audio carriers are wide-band, and are: 6.2-left, 6.8-right, and 5.8-mono.
|
|
No scrambling is employed in the uplink. (With AT&T's Telstar 301, launched in
|
|
1983, reaching the end of it's life, and with only enough fuel to launch it
|
|
out of it's orbital slot, the feeds may be moved to AT&T's Telstar 302 (85
|
|
Degrees West) in the near future, and then to AT&T's Telstar 401, which is
|
|
slated to be launched in November of 1993 to replace Telstar 301.) The station
|
|
then airs the episode for the first time anytime during Paramount's official
|
|
week of (Monday through Sunday), although some stations (notable Paramount
|
|
owned ones) are able to show episodes the Sunday prior to the week-of, but
|
|
that requires special permission from Paramount.
|
|
|
|
The order of the uplink is as follows (from "Time's Arrow, Part II"):
|
|
|
|

|
|
mix promos except that there are limited sound effects, characters speaking,
|
|
and no music. The local station adds in their own music and narration.
|
|
|
|
It is currently against Paramount contract to cut short the closing credits
|
|
and the Paramount logo in first-run episodes. If your station is cutting the
|
|
credits or is cutting the episodes, then write to both the offending station
|
|
and:
|
|
|
|
Paramount Pictures Corporation
|
|
TV Syndication and Promotion
|
|
5555 Melrose Ave.
|
|
Los Angeles, CA 90038
|
|
|
|
The episodes from seasons one through five are currently available for daily
|
|
syndication from Paramount television. (Some stations, with the unavailability
|
|
of "Time's Arrow II" in daily syndication, may elect not to air "Time's
|
|
Arrow".) With the exception of "Encounter At Farpoint", there is no editing by
|
|
Paramount television in order to make room for more commercials. Any such
|
|
editing is being done by your local station. "Encounter At Farpoint" is being
|
|
distributed as a two-part episode, with several scenes being moved around,
|
|
some other scenes being shortened or cut, and some of the audio being changed.
|
|
|
|
Currently, it is permissible for Star Trek: The Next Generation to be subject
|
|
to "Syndication Exclusivity" rules. Thus, if, on your local cable system, both
|
|
your local station and a out of town station both carry TNG, your local
|
|
station can have the out of town station's TNG broadcasts be blacked out on
|
|
cable.
|
|
|
|
Beginning with the fourth season, the episodes were recorded with Dolby
|
|
Surround for rear speaker sounds (but is 100% compatible with stereo sets).
|
|
If your station broadcasts TNG in stereo, yet, sometimes during the broadcast,
|
|
the audio seems to disappear during the broadcast for a couple of seconds or
|
|
seems to be coming out of the wrong channels, then you have a problem which
|
|
can only be corrected at the broadcast station. Call up your local station and
|
|
talk with the chief engineer. Tell him (or her) that Star Trek: The Next
|
|
Generation, starting in the fourth season, has Dolby Surround as part of the
|
|
stereo audio. This Dolby Surround information is confusing the "audio
|
|
anti-phase detector", and that the detector should be removed to avoid future
|
|
problems with the TNG audio. Then, thank the Chief Engineer for his time.

-====================-
|
|
The series was being broadcast on BBC2 Wednesdays at 6 PM, however, they have
|
|
stopped after the airing of the two-part episode "The Best of Both Worlds".
|
|
However, some notes on the following episodes:
|
|
|
|
* "Conspiracy" - The scene with the mother creature is edited out.
|
|
|
|
* "The Icarus Factor" - The pain sticks ceremony is heavily edited.
|
|
|
|
* "Shades of Gray" - The flashbacks include the scene from "Conspiracy" with
|
|
the mother creature....intact!
|
|
|
|
* "The High Ground" - This episode is unaired because the theme of the
|
|
episode, terrorism, could cause problems. In this episode, Data makes a
|
|
reference to a successful use of terrorism in 2017.
|
|
|
|
Sky Television now holds the rights to broadcast TNG, and has restored scenes
|
|
cut from the above episodes. However, they will NOT be showing "The High
|
|
Ground" for the same reasons as the BBC.

Stardates
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
After the random stardates in the original "Star Trek", the powers that be
|
|
decided on a more logical way to determine a stardate. Thus, the following
|
|
came about.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE: "Captains Log: Stardate 45076.3"
|
|
|
|
The "4" represents that the series takes place in the 24th century, according
|
|
to an original writer's guide, although Deep Space Nine may change that. It
|
|
also has been noted that 1000 stardates pass with every year.
|
|
The "5" represents the season number of TNG without exception.
|
|
The "076" represents the portion of a season that advances during TNG.
|
|
The ".3" represents a portion of a day thereof.
|
|
|
|
During the pre-recorded sub-space messages and recorded logs of away teams,
|
|
both the current stardate and the current time (in 24-hour military format,
|
|
down to the second) are shown on the bottom of the screen. ("The Defector",
|
|
"Identity Crisis")
|
|
|
|

|
What is canon?
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
According to various sources, this is what is considered acceptable, or canon,
|
|
for potential TNG episodes:
|
|
* Almost all of the original series (except for obvious conflicts)
|
|
* All of Star Trek: The Motion Picture
|
|
* Most of Star Trek II, III, IV, and VI
|
|
* All of the TNG episodes
|
|
* "TNG Technical Manual" by Mike Okuda and Rick Sternbach
|
|
|
|
The following is not acceptable:

|
|

|
|
|
|
Ranks and Insignia
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
On the next generation, the following uniform colors represent which division
|
|
a person is in:
|
|
|
|
Medical Corps and Sciences - Navy Blue (?)
|
|
Security and Engineering - Mustard Yellow
|
|
Command and Navigation - Wine Red
|
|
|
|
Vice Admiral - Gold rectangle with three circle in it. (Redemption II and
|
|
Chain of Command I). (UV_
|
|
|
|
Captain - Four solid gold circles
|
|
|
|
Commander - three solid gold circles
|
|
|
|
Lieutenant Commander - two solid gold circles and one empty gold circle
|
|
|
|
Lieutenant - two solid gold circles
|
|
|
|
Lieutenant (Junior Grade) - One solid gold circle and one empty
|
|
|
|
Ensign - One solid gold circle
|
|
|
|
- Two silver rectangles (worn by Kosinski in "Where No One Has Gone Before")
|
|
|
|
Cadet - Various black stripes depending on group assignment. (First Duty)
|
|
|
|
NOTE: During seasons one or two, some of the pips were in silver.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: There have been inaccuracies with the pips and ranks, especially with
|
|
the rank of O'Brien.
|
|
|
|
According to Gene Roddenberry, there are no enlisted ranks in Starfleet.
|
|
However, in "Family", Sergei Rozhenko (Worf's foster father) mentions
|
|
something about meeting another Chief Petty Officer. Later on, in the same
|
|
episode, Sergei mentions that he, an enlisted man, managed to raise an
|
|
officer. Also, in "The Drumhead", the part-Romulan part-Human medical
|
|
technician said that he was so anxious to get into space, he decided to forgo
|
|
the Academy and, instead, become enlisted. This will indeed contradict what
|
|
Gene has said.
|
|
|
|
In "Future Imperfect", some of the ranks in effect 15 years from season 4 are:
|
|
|
|
Admiral - Four Gold Bars
|
|
Captain - Four Silver Bars
|
|
|
|
The other ranks are based upon the "normal" TNG ranks. They are formed by
|
|
substituting a bar for a solid circle and a narrow bar for an empty circle.
|
|
The rank is part of the insignia/communicator.
|
|
|
|

Saucer Separation
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
The TNG Enterprise, being a starship carrying families, has the ability to
|
|
separate into a saucer and warp drive section in case of an emergency
|
|
situation. When separated, the saucer section is capable of only impulse
|
|
speed, while the warp drive section turns into a formidable battle machine.
|
|
|
|
"Encounter at Farpoint" - While Worf takes the saucer section to Farpoint
|
|
Station, Picard takes the warp drive section to meet up with the Q entity.
|
|
|
|
"Arsenal of Freedom" - Geordi takes the Warp Drive section in order to destroy
|
|
the defense device on Minos, while Chief Engineer Logan takes the saucer
|
|
section to safety.
|
|
|
|
"Best of Both Worlds - Part II" - In order to retrieve Locutus/Picard, the
|
|
Enterprise separates into two sections, with Riker in charge of the Warp Drive
|
|
section, and Cmdr. Shelby in command of the saucer section. While the Borg
|
|
attack the warp drive section, the rescue shuttle with Worf and Data launches
|
|
from the saucer section.
|
|
|
|
Shuttlecraft
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
The following shuttlecraft, associated with the Enterprise, have appeared in
|
|
TNG:
|
|
|
|
NCC-1701D-1 - "Sakarov" ("Unnatural Selection")
|
|
NCC-1701D-2 - "Goddard" (loaned to Scotty in "Relics")
|
|
NCC-1701D-5 - "El-Baz" (Time Squared)
|
|
NCC-1701D-5 - "Onizuka" (used in "The Ensigns of Command")
|
|
NCC-1701D-5 - Feynman ("The Nth Degree")
|
|
NCC-1701D-6 - ("Coming of Age")
|
|
NCC-1701D-7 - "Onizuka" ("The Minds Eye")

|
|
|
|
Other shuttlecraft from other ships....
|
|
|
|
NCC-2544-10 - (shuttle from USS Repulse, "The Child")
|
|
NCC-45167 - "Cousteau" (from the Aries, "Identity Crisis")
|
|
|
|
In "Unnatural Selection", Data states explicitly that he is fully trained to
|
|
pilot all current Federation vessels, including auxiliaries (namely
|
|
Shuttlecraft). We've also seen Ro, Riker, Picard, Wesley, Geordi, and Worf fly
|
|
shuttles, but Data seems to be the crew's "driver."
|
|
|
|
In the episode "Power Play", Chief O'Brien mentions that some of the
|
|
shuttlecraft are equipped with transporters, as demonstrated earlier with "The
|
|
Best of Both Worlds - Part II".
|
|
|

|
|
visit the Enterprise and steal some devices to "invent" later on.
|
|
|
|
"Cause and Effect" - The Enterprise and the Bozeman gets caught in a time
|
|
loop. For the Enterprise, it was for around 17 days. For the Bozeman, it was
|
|
either caught in the loop for around 80 years, or simply shot forward in time
|
|
about 80 years.
|
|
|
|
"Time's Arrow" - Upon discovery of Data's head on Earth, the crew of the
|
|
Enterprise travel to a planet. In order to see the aliens/shapeshifters, Data

|
|
At the end of this episode, Picard, Riker, Troi, Dr. Crusher, and Geordi walk
|
|
into the time vortex.
|
|
|
|
Also, the Traveler ("Where None Have Gone Before" and "Remember Me") could be
|
|
considered a time traveler. Maybe.

TOS/TMS Crossovers In TNG
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
While TNG is supposed to take place 78 years after the original series, there
|
|
have been occasions in which various characters and actors have appeared in
|
|
either the original series or movies, and then reappeared on TNG. Among these
|
|
are....
|
|
|
|
"Encounter At Farpoint" - DeForest Kelley makes an appearance as an unnamed
|
|
admiral who hates transporters and notices that Data, with all that knowledge,
|
|
doesn't have pointed ears.
|
|
|
|
"The Naked Now" - The records from the original Enterprise ("The Naked Time")
|
|
were used to combat a microbe that causes drunk-like effects.
|
|
|
|
"Symbiosys" - Merritt Butrick was T'Jon "Symbiosis", and, of course, appeared
|
|
as Kirk's son David Marcus in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek
|
|
III: The Search For Spock. (After his appearance in TNG, Merritt Butrick died
|
|
due to complications to AIDS)
|
|
|
|
"Sarek" - Mark Lenard makes an appearance as Sarek.
|
|
|
|
"Unification" - Leonard Nimoy makes an appearance as Spock, as well as Mark
|
|
Lenard as Sarek. Also, Malachi Throne, who played Romulan Senator Pardek in
|
|
"Unification", was also involved in TOS's "The Managerie" as Commodose Jose
|
|
Mendez.
|
|
|
|
"Relics" - Scotty modified the transporter so that the transporter buffer is
|
|
recycled and the rematerialization subroutine is disabled so that the two
|
|
survivors of the Jenolin could survive while waiting for a rescue. 75 years
|
|
later, the Enterprise reactivates the transporter, and Scotty is the lone
|
|
survivor, without aging.
|
|
|
|
Kirk has been mentioned in "The Naked Now", "Unification II", and "Relics".
|
|
|
|
Also: Diana Muldaur, a guest star on TOS episodes "Return To Tomorrow" as Dr.
|
|
Ann Mulhall and "Is There In Truth No Beauty" as Dr. Miranda Jones, appeared
|
|
on a regular basis as Dr. Pulaski during the second season of TNG. Majel
|
|
Barrett, who played Number One ("The Cage") and Doctor/Nurse Chapel, is used
|
|
as the TNG computer voice, and has appeared as Deanna Troi's mother, Lwaxana
|
|
Troi.

|
Convention Hints
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Patrick Stewart - May or may not allow taping of convention appearance. He
|
|
considers convention appearances to be a personal experience to be shared with
|
|
those in the audience.
|
|
|
|
Brent Spiner - He is very protective of his privacy, and rarely makes
|
|
convention appearances, partially due to a bad experience with a fan at a
|
|
convention in New York. He does not allow the video taping or the
|
|
photographing of convention appearances.
|
|
|
|
Gates McFadden - Do not videotape convention appearance.
|
|
|
|
Wil Wheaton - He doesn't allow videotaping. The explanation for this was that
|
|
someone had taped him before and sold these tapes without his consent or
|
|
paying him.
|
|
|
|
Michael Dorn - "I don't LIKE prune juice, Worf likes prune juice, I don't."
|
|
|
|
Marina Sirtis - While she does allow for videotaping of her convention
|
|
appearances, she reminds everyone that videotaping is a privilege, and not a
|
|
right. No flash photography when Q&A starts. Also, she has no idea about how
|
|
the pips work, nothing about Engineering, why Worf changed uniform color, and
|
|
similar topics.
|
|
|
|
Please remember, these actors are taking their personal time in order to
|
|
appear at conventions. Some of these actors do not give out autographs, others
|
|
do. The "no videotaping" rule is due to the fact that some unscrupulous people
|
|
tape the convention appearances and then resell the tapes without royalties
|
|
going to the actors.
|
|
|
|

account on the Enterprise billed.
|
|
|
|
"Conspiracy" - The planet where the Starship Captains meet is Ditalics B, and

"The Neutral Zone" - Picard mentions that they no longer use money.
|
|
|
|
"Manhunt" - Picard, while on the holodeck running the Dixon Hill program, goes

|
|
"The Price" - There is a bidding war going on for the use of a wormhole, and

|
"Unification II" - When Riker enters the bar, he is asked to toss a couple of
|
|
coins into the jar for a song. Riker responds that he doesn't have any money.

Religion In The Future
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
"Who Watches The Watchers" - Picard is thought to be a god by the populace.
|
|
|
|
"Data's Day" - In Data's log, a Hindu festival of lights is mentioned.
|
|
|
|
Did you know . . .
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
. . . That Geordi LaForge is named after a real Star Trek fan named George
|
|
LaForge? George LaForge died from muscular dystrophy in 1975.
|
|
|
|
. . . That Denise Crosby originally tried out for the role of Counselor Troi
|
|
and Marina Sirtis tried out for the role of Security Chief Tasha Yar?
|
|
|
|
. . . That Gene Roddenberry's full name is Eugene Wesley Roddenberry, thus, in
|
|
creating Wesley Crusher, Gene used his own middle name and based the character
|
|
on what he wanted to be like when he was young?
|
|
|
|
. . . Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) did the special effect shots only for
|
|
"Encounter At Farpoint". However, they get credit in every episode because of
|
|
the extra stock footage for Enterprise flybys and such. Even ILM stock footage
|
|
isn't used much anymore, except when the Enterprise enters Warp.
|
|
|
|
. . . TNG is filmed in 35mm using Panavision cameras. The film is transferred
|
|
to videotape, and post-production is done on video.
|
|
|
|
. . . That William Riker and Deanna Troi is based upon Ilia and Decker from
|
|
"Star Trek: The Motion Picture"?
|
|
|
|
. . . That while "Skin of Evil" was aired after "Symbiosis", they were
|
|
produced in the reverse order. Near the end of Symbiosis, when the Ornarans
|
|
and Brekkians beam off, Denise Crosby is seen in the background, waving
|
|
goodbye as the doors close. (UV)
|
|
|
|
. . . That "Star Trek: The Next Generation" has made over $500,000,000 in
|
|
syndication and merchandising.
|
|
|
|
. . . That if you look closely at the Enterprise during the fly-by in the
|
|
opening credits, you can see someone walking past the windows. According to
|
|
Mike Okuda in the "Star Trek: The Official Fan Club Magazine" (#60), this is
|
|
Captain Picard.
|
|
|
|
. . . "The Child" and "Devil's Due" were originally scripts for the proposed
|
|
"Star Trek: Phase II" television series. The "Star Trek: Phase II" series idea
|
|
was scrapped, and instead, the sets were used for the shooting of "Star Trek:
|
|
The Motion Picture"
|
|
|
|
. . . At the time of the filming of "Q Who", there were two visual supervisors
|
|
at the time: Dan Curry and Rob Legato. They each had their own specifications
|
|
for the design of the Borg ship:
|
|
|
|
Rob Legato - The Borg ship should be a ball with a trench of detail around the
|
|
middle.
|
|
|
|
Dan Curry - The Borg ship should be a cube that looked smooth at a distance.
|
|
As you got closer and closer, more detail would be revealed the
|
|
closer you got. (Dan had hired Special Effects for this job).
|
|
|
|
Rob Legato team had some problems, so Special Effects got the job and built
|
|
the Borg ship. It took 14 modelers 2 weeks to finish the job. That is nothing
|
|
short of amazing when you consider that while the specifications called for
|
|
only one side finished, Special Effects supplied a Borg ship that was finished
|
|
on all sides. In order to that level of detail, F/X put everything they could
|
|
find, including R2-D2, toy soldiers, plastic model "rails", and the F/X logo.
|
|
|
|
. . . The junkyard in "Unification II" consisted mostly of ships dragged out
|
|
from wherever Mike Okuda could find 'em. Some of the models included: models
|
|
from the unmade first Star Trek movie (years before Star Trek: The Motion
|
|
Picture), models from ILM that were never used, models of the Enterprise that
|
|
didn't come out of the mold right, and a very unusual looking Enterprise.
|
|
Some of the models were designed by Greg Jein and Robert McCall.
|
|
|
|
. . . "A Matter Of Time" was written partially because Robin Williams, a fan
|
|
of the show, wanted to appear. However, when the script was ready for
|
|
shooting, Robin was unavailable, so Matt Frewer was cast instead.
|
|
|
|
. . . That the shuttle Onizuka, which Data used in "Ensigns of Command", was
|
|
named in tribute to one of the Space Shuttle "Challenger" astronauts.
|
|
|
|
. . . During the fifth season, a thirty-second ad during one of the show's 10
|
|
national ad slots in a first-run episode costs $200,000.
|
|
|
|
. . . Gene died at the same time the crew was filming "Hero Worship"?
|
|
|
|
. . . The only episodes when William Riker was called Bill was in "The Naked
|
|
Now" and "Haven"?
|
|
|
|
. . . Gates McFadden's stunts in "Remember Me" was done when she was pregnant
|
|
but she did not know about it until days later.
|
|
|
|
. . . For "Relics", only the turbolift door, the command chair,
|
|
helm/navigation, Scotty's station, and possibly part of the station portward
|
|
of it were reconstructed for this episode. The rest was stock footage from
|
|
TOS's "The Mark of Gideon".
|
|
|
|
. . . In "Booby Trap", the original name of the holographic scientist was to
|
|
be Leah Daystrom, who was the great-great-great-daughter of Dr. Daystrom from
|
|
TOS. However, after they cast Susan Gibney for the part, they changed the name
|
|
to Brahms, and only made several references to The Daystrom Institute.
|
|
|
|
. . . Andy Probert designed the Enterprise D, and owns the designs to the
|
|
Enterprise. Paramount is using his designs with permission. You can see Andy
|
|
in "Encounter At Farpoint", in the post-atomic court. Andy is the spectator
|
|
wearing "a giant tribble", actually a very large fur hat.
|
|
|
|
. . . The original 8-foot model of the Enterprise that was built by Industrial
|
|
Light and Magic isn't used much anymore. For motion control work, the 4-foot
|
|
model is much easier to use, is much more detailed, and, for far away shots,
|
|
it's easier to make it seem far away. The original 8-foot model isn't used
|
|
except for extreme closeups or for saucer separations. The 4-foot model was
|
|
built by Greg Jein in the third season.
|
|
|
|
. . . The title "The Dauphin" comes from the French term "Le Dauphin", and is
|
|
used to designate the heir to the royal throne (if the royalty was still in
|
|
place in France).
|
|
|
|
. . . The reason that you keep seeing a lot of the same faces on TNG,
|
|
Civil Wars, and (I think) L.A. Law is that the casting is all handled by the
|
|
same casting director, Junie Lowrey-Smith (not sure of this name either), who
|
|
likes to reuse a lot of the same actors.
|
|
|
|
. . . "Family" is the only episode in TOS, the movies, and TNG which has no
|
|
scenes filmed on the bridge.
|
|
|
|
. . . In order to prepare for the episode "Chain Of Command, Part II", Patrick
|
|
Stewart watched tapes from Amnesty International. These tapes included
|
|
statements of those who had been tortured, and a long interview with a
|
|
torturer who talked about what it was like to be inflicting pain.
|
|
|
|
. . . The transporter effect is accomplished as follows:
|
|
1> Fill a canister with water. Add glitter and shine a light through it. Stir
|
|
briskly and tape.
|
|
2> Film the scene, first with the actor, then without. (Or vice versa)
|
|
3> Transfer the scene to tape, and use video technology to matte the glitter
|
|
over the actor.
|
|
4> Use a video wipe to 'streak down' the glitter.
|
|
|
|
. . . The translation from "11001001" after Riker introduces them:
|
|
Minuet: "Hi!, it's nice to meet you."
|
|
Picard: "You are from paris?"
|
|
Minuet: "Deep down we're all from paris."
|
|
Picard: "Ah yes, deep down we're all from paris."
|
|
|
|
. . . The translation from "Time's Arrow":
|
|
Data (in English): "I am a Frenchman."
|
|
|
|
Poker Player: "Ah, mes parents sont originaires de Boubonnais. Je suis ne a la
|
|
New Orleans." / "Ah, my parents are from Boubonnais. I was born in New
|
|
Orleans."
|
|
|
|
Data: "Alors nous sommes presque freres. Je suis heureuz de vous connaitre." /
|
|
"Then, we are almost brothers. I am pleased to meet you."
|
|
|
|
Poker Player (in English): "Please sir..."
|
|
|
|
. . . According to a November, 1992 issue of "California Business" article,
|
|
Paramount's annual first-run TNG gross advertising revenues are about $90
|
|
million, with production costs in the $31.2-$36.4 million range. Net annual
|
|
advertising profits are between $30 and $60 million, without even counting the
|
|
$70 million+ in licensing and affiliate station fees. TNG airs in 217 markets,
|
|
with a 99% national coverage. Weekly viewership is in the 20 million range,
|
|
bring in the most desirable of demographics.
|
|
|
|
. . . That "Star Trek: The Next Generation" is on the list of shows endorsed
|
|
by the Viewers for Quality Television. Other VQT endorsed shows include
|

In-Jokes
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
"The Naked Now" - During the scan of records, we see a parrot wearing a
|
|
Starfleet shirt, complete with insignia, with nacelles, an obvious reference
|
|
to Gene Roddenberry. ("The Great Bird" = Gene) This same screen also reappears
|
|
in "Conspiracy".
|
|
|
|
"11001001" - The 11001001 is binary, and is converted to 201 decimal, or hex
|
|
C9. Under the Z-80 microprocessor series (the Z-80 was used in the TRS-80
|
|
Model I, III, and IV, and for the sound processing in the Sega Genesis), the
|
|
C9, in assembly language, is known as "Unconditional Return."
|
|
|
|
"Conspiracy" - The topographical map of the planetary surface was a "very
|
|
shakey" drawing of Kei and Yuri. Yuri is on the right side, and Kei is upside
|
|
down.....
|
|
|
|
"The Neutral Zone" - On the family tree of Clare Raymond, which is recalled by
|
|
Troi, there are references to various shows, including: W. Hartnell m. P.
|
|
Troughton (DW), J. Pertwee m. T. Baker (DW), and P. Davison m. C. Baker (DW),
|
|
and J-L. Picard m. W. Riker. Other references include Gilligan's Island and
|
|
M*A*S*H.
|
|
|
|
"The Child" - In this episode, Doctor Pulanski refers to "Cyano Acrylates",
|
|
which are the active ingredient for SuperGlue, as a possible source of the
|
|
Ikner radiation that was causing the plague samples to grow.
|
|
|
|
"Loud As A Whisper" - (DP) The conference table, "made to resemble indigenous
|
|
rock", had various markings on them. Most notable to Lovely Angels/Dirty Pair
|
|
fans are the marking "Kei" and "Yuri".
|
|
|
|
"The Measure Of A Man" - When Riker is showing off Data's arm to the JAG
|
|
representative, there is a pad on her desk which lists Data's parts, including
|
|
"Nausican Valve" and "Totoro Interface". Also, it is noted that part of Data's
|
|
construction is made out of something called "Yurium". (DP)
|
|
|
|
"The Dauphin" - In this episode, Daled 4 is a planet's name. Daled is the
|
|
fourth letter in the Hebrew alphabet, and has the numeric value of four. (UV)
|
|
|
|
"Contagion" - The Iconian artifact has various markings on it, including "Kei
|
|
and Yuri" (DP), "Dirty Pair" (DP), "Gundam" and "Totoro." Also, the various
|
|
views as seen through the portal include: Toronto's City Hall and Nathan
|
|
Phillip's Square (depicting the arches over the reflecting pool/skating rink),
|
|
and Toronto's City Council Chambers. Also, in this episode, the Romulan ship
|
|
that attacked the Enterprise was named the "Harkonnen", which just happens to
|
|
be the name of the family that attacked the Atriedes family in the Dune
|
|
series. In this episode, another Galaxy Class Starship is mentioned. . . the
|
|
Yamato. This was originally the flagship of the Japanese fleet that fought in
|
|
World War II at both the Coral Sea and Midway before it was sunk by Torpedo
|
|
Bombers from an American carrier. Many years later, a Japanese Animation
|
|
series was done up, in which a battleship is reconfigured to become a starship
|
|
in order to recover something called the "Cosmo DNA". This series was called
|
|
"Starship Yamato", however, this series was known in the United States as
|
|
"Star Blazers".
|
|
|
|
"The Icarus Factor" - The TNG art department had a field day putting in
|
|
in-jokes. The mat has the chinese character of "sei", or "star" (as in "starry
|
|
sky". The two scrolls hanging on the walls say, in Japanese syllabic
|
|
characters (hiragana), "urusei yatsura", a pun of "ususai yatsura" ("noisy
|
|
neighbors" or "annoying neighbors", a Japanese animation. Also, while lunging
|
|
at Riker, Riker's father says (in a terrible accent), "youroshiku
|
|
onegaishimasu", literally saying "Please do me the favor of being kind to me",
|
|
but has the meaning of the English phrase "Pleased to meet you." Various other
|
|
markings include "Kei" (DP), "Yuri" (DP), "Akira", and "Tonari No Totoro". In
|
|
addition, the scrolls hanging on the walls also say, "Ataru", "Lum", and
|
|
"Uresai Yatsura".
|
|
|
|
"Samaritan Snare" - Picard mentions "Nausicaans" in a conversation with Wesley
|
|
on the shuttlecraft.
|
|
|
|
"Up The Long Ladder" - When Picard is looking at the list of ships trying to
|
|
find the Mariposa, another ship listed is the Buckaroo Banzai captained by
|
|
John Whorfin and built by the company that the red Lectroids had made. The
|
|
same company name was seen on the USS Hathaway (Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems
|
|
(of Grover's Mill, NJ :-) )
|
|
|
|
"Hollow Pursuits" - The anti-grav units contain a flux capacitor. Nothing big,
|
|
until you consider that the flux capacitor was a essential part of the
|
|
DeLorean/Time Machine in "Back To The Future".
|
|
|
|
"Menage a Troi" - The Ferengi Security code begins with "Kei Yuri" (DP).
|
|
|
|
"Transfigurations" - (DW) In the sick bay, against the wall, there is an
|
|
outline of the top portion of the TARDIS, upside down. Also, three roundals
|
|
can be seen against the wall. They show up again in several episodes after
|
|
this one.
|
|
|
|
"Legacy" - A label on a nuclear reactor says, "Remember, you can never add TOO
|
|
MUCH water to a Nuclear Reactor." Starlog #__ includes a complete picture of
|
|
the reactor, including some of the rules (some of them hysterical)
|
|
|
|
"Qpid" - The scene where Worf smashes Geordi's lute, then says "Sorry" is
|
|
completely reminiscent of a scene in Animal House at a toga party. Also,
|
|
Princess Bride fans might want to note that the dialog during the sword fight
|
|
with Picard/Robin Hood, where he says "There is something you should know . .
|
|
. . I'm not from Nottingham.", is reminiscent of a sword fight in the movie
|
|
where similar dialog is uttered.
|
|
|
|
"Half A Life" - One of the displays has the number "4077" in the corner, an
|
|
reference to M*A*S*H.
|
|
|
|
"In Theory" - The line "Now would be a good time", spoken by Picard, is
|
|
completely reminiscent from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, which, in turn, was
|
|
used by Kirk during "The Doomsday Machine". Also, while it is not be visible
|
|
in the actual show, someone on the production crew re-labeled the shuttle pod
|
|
"PONTIAC NCC-1701-D".
|
|
|
|
"Darmok" - The writers were playing around with the words in this episode,
|
|
with DARMOK, the letters reversed, becomes KOMRAD (comrade). JILARD also
|
|
becomes JLpIcARD. Also, Gilgamesh is based upon Gilgamesh (from Sumerian
|
|
lore), a character described as a combination of Solomon, Ulysses, and
|
|
Hercules combined into one. One of the important factor's after his friend's
|
|
death is Gilgamesh's fear of death, although never playing a factor in battle,
|
|
results in his constant search for immortality, but, in one manner or another,
|
|
comes very close, but always manages to miss.
|
|
|
|
"The Outcast" - Among the technical phrases used, "Reverse the polarity of the
|
|
neutron flow" was a phrase commonly used by the third doctor (Jon Pertwee)
|
|
during Doctor Who. (UV)
|
|
|
|
"The Next Phase" - One of the control panels on the Romulan Ship looks
|
|
somewhat like the TARDIS control console (DW). (V)
|
|
|
|
"Relics" - With Scotty on board, there are plenty of references to the old
|
|
series. For instance, the "miracle worker" bit comes from Star Trek III. The
|
|
"It is green" bit comes from TOS "By Any Other Name".
|
|
|
|
"Aquiel" - The name of the Klingon battlecruiser that meets with the E is the
|
|
Qu'vatlh (proper spelling, badly pronounced by Picard). This is listed in the
|
|
Klingon Dictionary on page 58 as one of the Klingon curses.
|
|
|
|
- Other in-jokes, albeit unseen, include: Shuttlecraft "Pontiac" and "Indiana
|
|
Jones" on operations board; crew quarters for Lt. Luke Skywalker.
|
|
|
|
Doctor Who (DW): A cult British Science Fiction series which ran on BBC1 from
|
|
November 23, 1963 to December, 1989. The title character is known only as "The
|
|
Doctor", a time lord who travels through time and space in a TARDIS (Time And
|
|
Relative Dimensions In Space). The TARDIS is bigger on the inside than on the
|
|
outside, and can change outward appearance, however, the Doctor's TARDIS,
|
|
being a broken down Type-40, is stuck in the shape of blue British Police Call
|
|
Box. The Doctor himself can, at point of death, regenerate into a totally
|
|
different body and personality. The series can be seen on several PBS stations
|
|
and the USA/Sci-Fi Channel weekday mornings at 9 AM PT/Noon ET.
|
|
|
|
Lovely Angels/Dirty Pair (DP): A Japanese anime series where the two main
|
|
characters, "Kei" and "Yuri", are members of World Welfare Foundation. Their
|
|
job is to take care of problems that crop up. However, they usually leave the
|
|
place in worse shape then they arrived, and it's usually not their fault. The
|
|
series itself has had TOS in-jokes in it also.
|
|
|
|
Shakespeare
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
It is well known that Patrick Stewart is a Shakepearean actor from England.
|
|
However, several references to Shakespeare appear on TNG. [No, I don't know
|
|
what the numbering scheme is]
|
|
|
|
"Encounter at Farpoint" - Picard says, "Kill all the lawyers!", which comes
|
|
from "2 Henry VI 4.2.74".
|
|
|
|
"The Naked Now" - Data says, "When you prick me do I not . . . leak?". This is
|
|
paraphrased from "Merchant of Venice 3.1.60-61".
|
|
|
|
"Hide and Q" - Q says, "All the galaxy's a stage," to which Picard replies:
|
|
"World, not galaxy, all the world's a stage." The reference is from "As You
|
|
Like It 2.7.139", with the entire passage from "As You Like It 2.7.139-165".
|
|
|
|
"The Defector" - At the beginning of the episode, there is a scene on the
|
|
holodeck where Data performs a scene from Henry V, when the King mingles with
|
|
his troops shortly before the Battle of Agincourt.
|
|
The entire scene is from "Henry V 4.1.84-157", although some lines were cut
|
|
out. Originally written for the King and three soldiers (Court, Williams, and
|
|
Bates), the author of the episode combined Court and Williams into one role,
|
|
represented here as Williams. Williams, incidentally, was played by
|
|
Shakespearean actor Patrick Stewart.
|
|
Later in the episode, Picard quotes from Williams' speech, which is from
|
|
"Henry V 4.1.142-144".
|
|
|
|
"Sins of the Father" - The title comes from the "Merchant of Venice 3.5.1-2",
|
|
with the entire passage from "Merchant of Venice 3.5.1-7".
|
|
|
|
"Menage A Troi" - Picard sets about wooing Lwaxana Troi back from Daimon Tog.
|
|
In the process, he delivers a Shakespeare mish-mash from Sonnets 147, 141, 18,
|
|
116, and Othello 5.2.13-15.
|
|
|
|
"Remember Me" - The title is from "Hamlet 2.5.89-92 & 111-113" with the entire
|
|
passage from "Hamlet 1.5.89-113".
|
|
|
|
Differences in "Encounter At Farpoint"
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Currently, "Encounter At Farpoint" is being distributed in both a two-part
|
|
form and a two-hour movie form. The two-hour movie was shown as the first
|
|
episode of TNG, the repeat was shown as a two-part episode. Currently, the
|
|
stations that are showing TNG as a daily syndicated program have "Encounter At
|
|
Farpoint" as a two-part episode.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, the two-part episode is heavily butchered. Among the changes
|
|
from the two-hour movie version:
|
|
|
|
* The movie version starts out with the credits, the two-parter starts out
|
|
with a teaser instead.
|
|
|
|
* In the movie version, Riker sees what happens in two sections. In the
|
|
two-parter, the second section is cut out.
|
|
|
|
* The two-parter had the rejoining of the saucer section with the warp drive
|
|
section being majorly edited.
|
|
|
|
* A section where Picard is talking to Dr. Crusher about Wesley is cut.
|
|
|
|
* A scene where Geordi talks to Dr. Crusher about his VISOR was moved to part
|
|
two. It appeared in the first half of the movie version.
|
|
|
|
* Some of the audio was changed, and somewhat "sweetened" (Mike Brown term),
|
|
in the two-part version.
|
|
|
|
To add additional confusion, Paramount has officially retired the two-hour
|
|
movie, and has made available for the videotape and laserdisc series an
|
|
unbutchered two-part episode of "Encounter At Farpoint."
|

Operation SNAFU
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Opening Credits (1st & 2nd Season) - During the opening sequence, the graphics
|
|
are a departure from the Sol system, beginning with Earth with the sun in the
|
|
background, and featuring fly-bys of Jupiter and Saturn. During this sequence,
|
|
the camera pans right, and we see sunlight off the left side of Earth and
|
|
Jupiter, but the right side of Saturn, indicating that Saturn is backlit. (UV)
|
|

|
Opening Credits (From Third Season On) - During the opening sequence, at the
|
|
end of the planets, watch closely the starfields. The stars go in two
|
|
completely different directions.
|
|
|
|
"Code Of Honor" - While on the planet, watch Deanna's arms. In the group
|
|
shots, Deanna's arms are at her sides, while, in the close-ups, her arms are
|
|
behind her back. (UV)
|
|
|
|
"Datalore" - Upon beaming down to the planet's surface, Commander Riker gives
|
|
the stardate as 4124.5. A little later, Captain Picard gives it as 41242.45.
|
|
(V) Also, the glass of champagne Lore pours for Data goes flat immediately
|
|
before Data picks it up thanks to the time that passed between the times the
|
|
two parts of the scene were filmed. (It goes flat as the travelling wipe
|
|
crosses it) (UV)
|
|
|
|
"Skin Of Evil" - When Riker is being pulled into Armus, the away team runs
|
|
towards Armus. However Geordi drops his phaser into Armus. When Captain Picard
|
|
beams onto the planet, the away team is standing around calmly, and Geordi's
|
|
phaser is back in his pocket. (Either the phaser didn't get THAT dirty, or
|
|
they beamed down another one quickly) (UV) Also, the computer-generated
|
|
picture Worf is looking at within the first minutes of "Skin of Evil" is the
|
|
very same as the one you can see twice later: It contains already this graph
|
|
of Armus' energy-level (or whatever it's meant to represent) with the same ups
|
|
and downs Troi is causing much later in the show!
|
|
|
|
"Conspiracy" - At the beginning of the episode, while Picard is asleep, Riker
|
|
tells LaForge to increase speed to Warp 6. Laforge replies, "Aye Sir, full
|
|
impulse."
|
|
|
|
"Loud As A Whisper" - Data has learned sign language and is now interpreting
|
|
what the mediator is saying. Data quotes the mediator as saying "My friends
|
|
have died" or something like that, before it is even signed. (V)
|
|
|
|
"Measure of a Man" - In this episode, Data is shown bending a metal bar.
|
|
However, the metal bar that Riker places on the JAG officer's desk is not bent
|
|
in the same manner.
|
|
|
|
"The Royale" - The surface temperature of the planet is less than absolute
|
|
zero by six degrees Celsius. Also, after they beam the piece of the ship out
|
|
of orbit, O'Brien and Riker pick it up with their bare hands (coming from
|
|
space, it should have been close to zero Kelvin itself). Plus, after beaming
|
|
down, they then scan the atmosphere to see if it's safe to breathe. (V)
|
|
|
|
"Samaritan Snare" - Wesley opens a communications channel, and says that
|
|
Shuttle #2 is ready for takeoff. However, in the following scene, when the
|
|
shuttle is seen powering up, there is a "01" on the outside of the shuttle.
|
|
Oops. (UV)
|
|
|
|
"The Enemy" - Picard says to Tomaluk that he will be escorting the Romulan
|
|
ship to the Neutral Zone. Yet, in the closing shot, the Enterprise and the
|
|
Romulan Ship take off in two different directions. (V)
|
|
|
|
"The Price" - When the Ferengi Daimon talks to picard about putting photon
|
|
torpedoes through the worm hole, he says, "Casualties of war, Captain",
|
|
however, his mouth looks as if he is saying "Picard." (V)
|
|
|
|
"Yesterday's Enterprise" - At the end of the episode, Geordi talks with
|
|
Guinan. However, he is wearing an open neck uniform. (V)
|
|
|
|
"Sins of the Father" - The sound effects people must have fallen asleep every
|
|
time someone got slapped. (V)
|
|
|
|
"Sarek" - The music recital in this episode contained several errors. First,
|
|
the quartet seating is towards the audience, not toward each other. Classical
|
|
music was originally developed with the performers facing each other in order
|
|
to get visual cues. The performing in front of the audience did not come about
|
|
until much later. Second, the Allegro is by Brahm's, not Mozart. Thirdly, the
|
|
Allegro is a sextet, not a quartet. (UV) Also, in this story, Geordi and
|
|
Wesley are setting up this pool, and wesley says that the temperature is 150
|
|
degrees celsious, which is aproximately 300 degrees Farenheit. (where's that
|
|
formula?!?!?!) However, there was no obvious radiant heat because Geordi and
|
|
Wesley were standing close to the pool and peer inside. (UV)
|
|
|
|
"The Most Toys" - When Data is talking to the Enterprise at the start of the
|
|
episode, he says, "Level 1 precautions for incoming material remain in
|
|
effect." But when Geordi and Wesley are playing back the tapes later, we hear,
|
|
"Level 1 precautions remain in effect." Selective recorder? (UV)
|
|
|
|
"Brothers" - The code which Data gives to lock the Enterprise computer system
|
|
differs between the spoken version and the version displayed on the screen.
|
|
(See "Security Codes") (V)
|
|
|
|
"Remember Me" - Beverly asks the computer to show her "the Universe". The
|
|
computer then puts out a drawing of the Enterprise that is cropped with a
|
|
sphere.....with the portion of the saucer section with the bridge cropped off.
|
|
(UV) In the final act, when Wesley and the Traveler are entering the equations
|
|
into the computer, watch Wesley's hand. He closes his eyes, and then places
|
|
his hand on the case, about three inches below the entry pad. While he is
|
|
making his entries, his hand starts moving up, while the sound effect people
|
|
keep making the sounds in time. (V)
|
|
|
|
"Legacy" - During the card trick with Data, Riker's hand keeps on changing
|
|
position during the trick when the camera switches. (UV)
|
|
|
|
"Reunion" - After K'Eyhlar dies, Alexander the child runs away, and Worf lets
|
|
out his primal scream, we see her body being lowered to the floor. As she is
|
|
finally settled, her eyes flutter open and closed several times (as,
|
|
presumably, the actress, Suzie Plakson, "gets her bearings"). Also notice that
|
|
her head is facing towards her left. However, when her body is shown full-on
|
|
from the perspective of her feet (as Worf tells Alexander to "look at death,
|
|
and never forget"), her head is facing slightly towards her *RIGHT*, and
|
|
remains that way for the rest of the scene (a prime example of a scene being
|
|
shot in several takes with the continuity person being asleep on the job).
|
|
(V) Also, Dr. Crusher and her aide comes from the bedroom, not from the
|
|
corridor. (UV)
|
|
|
|
"Devil's Due" - In the TOS episode "Day of the Dove", Captain Kang explicitly
|
|
remarks that the Klingons have no devil. However, in "Devil's Due", Ardra uses
|
|
the guise of the Klingon devil, Fekhlar, a creature that consumes the souls of
|
|
cowards. (V)
|
|
|
|
"Clues" - Guinan has a cigarette in a holder, which changes length with each
|
|
camera cut...a common problem in any movie where smoking is portrayed.
|
|
|
|
"The Drumhead" - After the first hearing with J'Ddan, Worf and J'Ddan leave
|
|
the hearing room. The doors open, as they are walking though the doorway, the
|
|
doors start to close, but hesitate, open back up and then close after they
|
|
leave the doorway. Looks like someone pulled on the rope too soon :-) (V)
|
|
Also, Satie says that Captain Picard took command of the Enterprise at
|
|
Stardate 41162. This is in error . . . it was 41152. (V)
|
|
|
|
"Half A Life" - Near the end of the episode, when Lwaxana Troi is standing
|
|
next to the mirror and then begins to walk away from it, for a brief instant
|
|
the boom from the mic is visible in the reflection. (V)
|
|
|
|
"In Theory" - In the teaser, Data finishes telling Jenna the reasons why she
|
|
broke up with Jeff. She and Data then close up the photon torpedo, and she
|
|
moves off to a control panel. On top of the torpedo rests a black, hand-sized
|
|
deviceamajig. Data stands up, holding some sensormajig in his left hand. The
|
|
scene then shifts to Data walking towards Jenna, and the sensormajig is now in
|
|
his RIGHT hand (with no indication that he ever shifted it there), and Jenna
|
|
is holding the deviceamajig she left on top of the torpedo (with no indication
|
|
that she ever went back to get it). (V)
|
|
|
|
"Redemption II" - In part one of this story, Worf said that he would be
|
|
serving on the Bortas. Yet, in this episode, he is serving on the Hectar, with
|
|
no explanation about the transfer.
|
|
Also, Picard says to Guinan that Yar died a year prior to Guinan joining
|
|
the crew. However, "Skin of Evil" was the fourth to last story of the season,
|
|
and Guinan is first seen in the second season premiere "The Child", suggesting
|
|
only 3-4 months between the two stories.
|
|
Picard refers to the battle on Narendra III as taking place 24 years ago to
|
|
Sela, and 23 years ago to Guinan. (V) But, of course, Guinan senses time
|
|
differently......
|
|
When Worf is given his family name back the blood on the knife is red not
|
|
pink as in Star Trek VI. (UV)
|
|
|
|
"Ensign Ro" - When Ensign Ro takes off her jacket, her communicator is on her
|
|
jacket. However, when she hands the jacket to the little girl, her
|
|
communicator jumps to her uniform, with no action of putting the communicator
|
|
there. (V)
|
|
|
|
"Silicon Avatar" - In the second act, look closely at the tricorder that Dr.
|
|
Marr holds during the conversation between Dr. Marr and Data. During the
|
|
conversation, she has her tricorder open. She then closes it, then reopens it,
|
|
but holds the tricorder UPSIDE DOWN!!!! (V)
|
|
|
|
"Disaster" - In the scene where Dr. Crusher and Geordi are evacuating all the
|
|
air out of the cargo bay, Geordi hits the button that closes the cargo bay.
|
|
The pushing of the button and resulting door closing are audibly heard, even
|
|
though sound doesn't travel in a vacuum. (Probably dramatic reasons) Also,
|
|
when the ship starts shaking, they cut to ten forward, where the stars are
|
|
shaking right along with the ship. (V)
|
|
Also, while in the turbo lift, when Picard gives out the pips to the girl
|
|
(whose name escapes me). Look closely (actully it's fairly obvious once you
|
|
notice it). Her collar has two small holes where the pips go, before the pips
|
|
were put on. Either they punched some holes to make it easier to put them on
|
|
(since the collar looks fairly stiff) or it's a product of having to do the
|
|
shot in several takes =-)
|
|
|
|
"The Game" - When the crew are forcing Wesley to play the game, and Riker is
|
|
holding his eyes open, Wesley blinks. (V)
|
|
|
|
"Unification I" - When Dr. Crusher is examining Data in order to prep him (and
|
|
Picard) to Romulus, she asks if Data's ears are detachable, to which Data says
|
|
that they are not. Yet, in "Datalore", Data's brother, Lore, is clearly shown
|
|
without ears. A design change?
|
|
|
|
"Unification II" - After Spock, Picard, and Data have knocked out the Romulan
|
|
guards, and Spock has Sela at gunpoint, Picard has no gun in his hand. After a
|
|
camera switch, Picard then holds a Romulan disrupter "pistol". A minute later,
|
|
after a scene with the Enterprise, Picard is still standing in the same place,
|
|
but with a Romulan disrupter "rifle". (UV) After Data gives Sela the famous
|
|
"Spock Pinch", and when Picard, Data, and Spock leave the room, look at the
|
|
glass pyramid in Sela's office. There is a reflection of a cameraman chewing
|
|
gum. (V)
|
|
|
|
"New Ground" - Alexander states that he was born on stardate 42305. Unless the
|
|
equivalent of 01000 stardate equals approximately one year, Alexander would be
|
|
only 2 and a half years old. Also, the creature which Riker saves from the lab
|
|
is obviously a hand puppet. (V)
|
|
|
|
"Violations" (?) - Troi and the Bad Guy {tm} get into the turbolift on Deck 3.
|
|
Troi orders it to go to Deck 8. When she gets off, the doors close just in
|
|
front of the camera, clearly showing "Deck 3."
|
|
|
|
"The Masterpiece Society" - Geordi states that his VISOR covered the range
|
|
from 1 Hertz to 1 Terahertz. While this covers radio, microwave, and far
|
|
infrared frequencies, it does not cover near infrared, visible, ultraviolet,
|
|
x-rays, or gamma rays.
|
|
|
|
"Conundrum" - While a record search is performed, Deanna's father was listed
|
|
as "Alex". However, in "The Child", she named her child after Ian, her
|
|
father's name. (V) When MacDuff is talking to Picard in Picard's ready room,
|
|
when Picard goes to the window, all you see in the window is the reflection of
|
|
Picard and the room behind him (not the stars outside), then, when you see
|
|
MacDuff, in the reflection, leaving the room behind Picard, when the door
|
|
opens, you don't see the reflection of the bridge, you see stars. Oops! (UV)
|
|
After Rikers first love scene, a wide-angle-view-pan-to-closeup on the bridge
|
|
can be seen at the very top of the screen, in the brightly lit area. (UV).
|
|
Shortly afterwards, in the same scene, MacDuff is walking around and up to the
|
|
tactical station from his chair, and we can see his legs walk next to Worfs.
|
|
The camera cuts to Worf, and we see MacDuff approaching Worf. (UV) Also,
|
|
Beverly Crusher is listed in the crew manifest as a Lt. Cmdr, when her
|
|
actual rank is Commander. (UV)
|
|
|
|
"Ethics" - When the barrel falls on Worf, a second barrel also falls, and it's
|
|
lid pops off. However, when Geordi runs over to Worf, the lid is back on the
|
|
barrel. (V)
|
|
|
|
"Cause and Effect" - The first time we see Picard in the Sickbay talking to
|
|
Geordi and Dr. Crusher, he is wearing his standard uniform, and states he had
|
|
a feeling of deja vu when he was reading. However, in the next loop, he is
|
|
shown wearing his gray uniform while reading in his ready room, and when he's
|
|
in Sickbay, he's also wearing his maroon jacket. (Also recall that in the
|
|
first loop, when he is talking to Beverly, he is wearing the grey uniform.
|
|
Thus, the sequence goes: grey -> standard -> grey). Presumably, both instances
|
|
of this scene happen at the same "time", and since Picard's behaviour was not
|
|
affected until Dr. Crusher contacted him, why is he wearing the standard
|
|
uniform in one loop, and the gray uniform in the next loop? (V)
|
|
|
|
"Cost of Living" - In the turbolift where Picard and Data got trapped in due
|
|
to the metal parasites, look closely: Picard, in this scene only, is wearing
|
|
only three pips. (V) Also, Picard is told that the inertial dampers had
|
|
failed, in which he orders the Enterprise out of warp. If the inertial dampers
|
|
had failed, they would have been splattered all over the bridge. (V)
|
|
|
|
"I, Borg" - During the first time in the lab, Three of Five asks "Do I have a
|
|
name?" "I" should not have been used, it should have been "we".
|
|
|
|
"The Next Phase" - One of things dropped in films is an explanation as to why
|
|
Geordi and Ro are able to breathe or not be able to go through the floors.
|
|
Oops. (V) Also, Riker starts playing the trombone.... before his lips reach
|
|
the mouthpiece. (UV)
|
|
|
|
"Time's Arrow" - The paper which Data picks up is dated "Sunday, August 11,
|
|
1893". Unfortunately, August 11, 1893 was a Friday. (V)
|
|
|
|
"Man Of The People" - There were several snafus which occurred, including....
|
|
* In Engineering, when Geordi and Beverly were checking out the
|
|
Biofilter logs from the Dorian, Geordi had two hollow pips and one solid,
|
|
instead of two solid and one hollow.
|
|
* When Riker and Troi walked out of Ten-Forward (the scene where Troi was
|
|
wearing that revealing dress), they stepped right into a Turbolift. The
|
|
sign on the lift's door said "08 Turbolift", indicating they were on Deck 8
|
|
instead of Deck 10.
|
|
* Near the end, in Sickbay, when Beverly was reviving Deanna, Deanna's eyes
|
|
fluttered open a couple of times, and then remained shut. (This is when she
|
|
still looked old.) Although I couldn't make out an actual color, it was
|
|
obviously that Marina didn't have her black contacts in.
|
|
|
|
"Schisms" - When Riker sits down at CONN when the ensign is having trouble
|
|
navigating, when we see his hands over the console, it is the display for
|
|
OPS. It was also explained at the end of the episode that the experimenters
|
|
had homed in on the Enterprise from Geordi modifying the sensors. Yet, Riker
|
|
began experiencing his chronic insomnia days before Geordi made his
|
|
modifications.
|
|
|
|
"Rascals" - The computer display in the classroom clearly shows "Classroom
|
|
Seven" on the screen. Yet, when Picard meets Riker, he refers to Classroom
|
|
Eight. (V) Also, when Keiko gets the Coffee, when she picks it up from the
|
|
replicator, it's in her left hand, yet, in the next scene, it's in her right
|
|
hand. (V) Also, amazingly, the clothings shrank, but not proportionally, and
|
|
Guinan's hat and Ro's headband is perfectly. (V) When Rikers dives to avoid a
|
|
phaser blast, we *HEAR* the phaser, but not see it.
|
|
|
|
"A Fistful Of Datas" - When Data is being connected to the computer, look at
|
|
his neck. You can see where the gold makeup ended. (UV) Also, when Pa
|
|
Hollinder talks to the young Hollinder, and the Pa turns, his hand gets "cut
|
|
off" due to the video wipe. (V) Also, while the Pa talk with Worf and Troi,
|
|
talk a look at the manniquin standin for Young Hollinder.
|
|
|
|
"Chain Of Command" - The tunnels were underground, yet, they never once used a
|
|
flashlight, and there was light down there. (UV) Also, when Worf opens up the
|
|
door that was magnetically sealed, it opened inward like a normal door, yet,
|
|
when they started to run out, the door slid closed. Trick door?
|
|
|
|
"Ship In A Bottle" - When the book is tossed out of the holodeck, it got
|
|
zapped immediately. This is conflict with "The Big Goodbye", in which the
|
|
gangsters, when they walked out of the holodeck, they de-rezzed slowly. Also,
|
|
in "Elementary, Dear Data", there was a sheet of paper which was shown Picard
|
|
which did not de-rez when taken out of the holodeck. Moriarity must have made
|
|
some programming boo-boos.
|
|
|
|
- Betazoid's and the Ferengi Mind: In "The Battle" and "The Price", Deanna's
|
|
is able to sense deception from the Ferengi, and later, used against them.
|
|
Yet, in "Menage A Troi", the Betazoid Ambassador says that they are unable to
|
|
read Ferengi minds, a fact later confirmed in "The Loss". Data has suggested
|
|
that this is due to the Ferengi brain separated in four regions.
|
|
|
|
- In "Reunion," Gowron was prepared to offer K'Ehleyr a seat on the Klingon
|
|
Council for her assistance in getting Picard to quicken the pace of the Rite
|
|
of Succession. However, in "Redemption," he states to Picard that females are
|
|
not allowed to serve on that Council. He really wanted that pace
|
|
quickened......
|
|
|
|
Data Using Contractions
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
In "Datalore", Lore says that there are differences between him and Data,
|
|
among them, the ability of Lore being able to use contractions, while Data
|
|
couldn't. Yet, in "The Offspring", Data says that he hadn't quite mastered
|
|
contractions. It appears that Data can use contractions, as the following
|
|
shows indicate . . . . .
|
|
|
|
"Encounter At Farpoint" - At the beginning of the "post Atomic-horror"
|
|
courtroom, when Q enters, Data says, "At least we're acquainted with the
|
|
judge, Captain." Also, when Data is asked by a very familiar "Admiral" if he
|
|
is a Vulcan, Data replies, "No sir, I'm an android." (Entire Episode-V)
|
|
|
|
"The Naked Now" - Data says: "Correction, sir.. that's blown out." instead of
|
|
"that is". Then, after being examined by Dr. Crusher, Data says "I'm already
|
|
listed in several bio-mechanical texts.". Later, after Picard orders Yar to
|
|
the sick bay, Yar asks "Did he say when?", to which Data replies "I'm sure he
|
|
meant now.". In this same scene, "Chronological age, no. I'm afaid I am
|
|
not...." (Entire Episode-V)
|
|
|
|
"Code of Honor" -
|
|
|
|
"The Last Outpost" - During the conversation with Sentry, Data clearly said
|
|
"I'm afraid not." (UV)
|
|
|
|
"Where No Man Has Gone Before" - After they shot out of the galaxy and were
|
|
looking at all the nice special effects outside Data said something like "It's
|
|
beautiful". (UV)
|
|
|
|
"Datalore" - In the teaser, in response to Tasha's query about holding the
|
|
memory of over 411 people, Data responds, "Actually, I'm quite efficient in
|
|
some basic human information." Then, in act one, on the way to the place where
|
|
he was found, in response to Tasha's query about the colonist's memories, Data
|
|
replies, "I've always felt that it was done hurriedly, but I know little
|
|
more." Next, in act two, in a conversation with Chief Argyle, Data says, "I've
|
|
been most anxious to hear the Chief Engineer's opinion, Mr. Argyle." Then, in
|
|
the final act, after the fight with Lore, Picard asks Data if he's ok, in
|
|
which Data replies, "Yes Sir, I'm fine." This is quite surprising, since this
|
|
is one episode which they should have been extra careful about using
|
|
contractions. (V)
|
|
|
|
"Heart of Glory" - (UV)
|
|
|
|
"Elementary, Dear Data" - When Data and Geordi are just about to confront
|
|
Moriarty for the first time, Data notices some scratches near Moriarty's
|
|
secret entrance and he asks, "What's this?" (UV)
|
|
|
|
"The Offspring" - In the Captain's quarters, after Picard answers Data's
|
|
question about Admiral Halftel having children, Data replies, "I'm forced to
|
|
wonder how much experience he had as a parent when his first child was born."
|
|
(V)
|
|
|
|
"Future Imperfect" - The future Data uses a contraction.
|
|
|
|
"In Theory" - When entering Jenna's quarters, Data recites several phrases
|
|
with contractions, including "Honey, I'm Home" and "You don't tell me what to
|
|
do! You're not my mother!" - a clear contradiction of the no-contraction rule.
|
|
However, he was running a program in which he was simply reciting various
|
|
phrases couples use, and he was saying them in a different tone of voice than
|
|
usual. (V)
|
|
|
|
"The Quality Of Life" - Data clearly states "The trasnporter controls are not
|
|
malfunctioning. I've locked out the controls."

ST:TNG Technical Manual
|
|
|
|
The "Star Trek: The Next Generation" Technical Manual (Pocket Books, ISBN
|
|
0-671-70427-3) is the complete technical guide to the Treknology used in TNG.
|
|
It is written by Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda, who work in TNG's Art
|
|
Department. Among their responsibilities include making sure that everything
|
|
is consistent in the technical department from show to show. However, they
|
|
have been known to clown around a little, and some of that clowning has shown
|
|
up in the technical manual. Such as:
|
|
|
|
11 - In the saucer section, right above the Captain's Yacht, there is a duck.

A half inch to the left and a little bit down, there is a mouse. Slightly to
|
|
the right of the mouse, there is a "Slippery When Wet" sign. In the shuttle
|
|
bay, there are three big shuttles, two small shuttles, and a Porsche. To the
|
|
right of the duck, about one inch, there is a DC-3 cargo aircraft, and, in
|
|
that same rectangle, there is a symbol of a woman and a child (the symbol for
|
|
Canada's "Family" rating for movies). Also, right under the warp pylons, there
|
|
is a registered trademark symbol. In addition, there is an image of NOMAD on
|
|
it's side, center of the saucer section, forward.
|
|
|
|
Interestingly enough, if you look at the ship diagram in Engineering on the
|
|
show, those exact items show up.

120 - The tricorder display shows "TR580 TRICORDER VII", alledgely a reference
|
|
to the old Radio Shack TRS-80's.

Eugene Wesley "Gene" Roddenberry
|
|
August 19, 1921 - October 24, 1991
|
|
|
|
He created a legend which continues on today, creating a show that has helped
|
|
believe that there was a future worth living for. He showed us that space is
|
|
not just for space battles, but for learning new ideas and ways of thinking,
|
|
and, indirectly, has done more for civil rights and the space program than
|
|
Martin Luther King, Jr. and John F. Kennedy. Gene will be missed, but will not
|
|
be forgotten.
