Notes
  • Originally titled "Send In the Clones."
  • Right-to-Life advocates objected to the fact that Commander Riker said "I'm in charge of my own body" when he objected to being cloned.
  • Irish Americans also objected to the cultural stereotypes.
  • Picard's search menu contains references to Japanese animé and a "diplomatic mission to Alderan."
  • Wesley does not appear in this episode.
