Notes
  • You think that they would have learned by now not to use the Holodeck when Geordi and Data are doing computer experiments....
  • Picard practices his Ressikan flute from the episode "Inner Light".
  • Data's bad poetry overwrites Dr. Crusher's play (see "Schisms").
  • La Forge begins growing a beard in this episode. (LeVar Burton wanted a beard for his wedding.)
