- TriviaThe first appearance of the Bajorans, prominent race in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993). Their planet Bajora was called Bajor in later shows. Also the first appearance of Ro Laren, set to become a semi-regular for the remainder of TNG. The producers added her character to create some conflict among the friendly atmosphere of the Enterprise crew. "A Starfleet officer with a troubled past. An edge."
- GoofsThe top of Ensign Ro's uniform that she gives to the little girl turns from a pullover-type garment to a jacket. Also, Ro's com-badge goes from the jacket to her shirt without her moving it.
- Quotes
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I understand you've been discussing alternative adversarial engagement strategy with Mr. Mot.
Commander William T. Riker: It'd be more accurate to say he was discussing them with me. He's the best barber in Starfleet. What can you do?

Featured review
Ensign Ro Laren
Michelle Forbes makes the first of several appearances as /ensign Ro Laren as
the Bajoran/Cardassian conflict also debuts.
Ro Laren is a former Star Fleet officer who joined after Bajor was occupied by the Cardassians. She has a real chip on her shoulder and she's reinstated by Admiral Scott Marlowe over Patrick Stewart's objections.
Marlowe has some plans regarding her use in the conflict that Forbes doesn't agree with. She does know the Bajoran political landscape. In fact she makes quite the fool out of the Star Fleet admiral.
Whoopi Goldberg plays an important role here. Guinan is more than a bartender.
