Any infringement of 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 infringement is intended. This list is only intended to supplement Mr. Brown's guide, not replace it. You are highly recommended to purchase Mr. Brown's guide. This is the "Star Trek: The Next Generation List of Lists". It contains a listing of all the episodes for Star Trek: The Next Generation TV series, plus some added notes. These lists will be updated from time to time. Other list of lists available include: * Star Trek (Original Series) List of Lists * Star Trek: Deep Space Nine List of Lists * Star Trek: Voyager List of Lists * Babylon 5 List of Lists * Quantum Leap List Of Lists * Reno List of Lists * Las Vegas List of Lists Due to previous problems, no print copies will be made available. If you are wondering why I compile these lists, it is strictly out of the enjoyment of Star Trek, and the wealth of information from fellow fans who post on the electronic networks. (And they're still growing). The only payment I ask is thanks and contributions. I am not making a dime off these compilations. Did you know: In PDP-11 assembly language, there was a set of instructions that were specifically implemented for making linked lists. A linked list is a list that points to either another list or a piece of data. In the instruction manuals I read, these were referred to as "lists of lists" (unless, of course, the linked list pointed only to data).

The Good Fight -> Preemptive Strike Syndication Notes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The production code numbers begin with 101 in order to prevent confusion with the original Star Trek series. United States/Canada -==================- Broadcast Television -++++++++++++++++++- When the show was in production, Star Trek: The Next Generation was a first-run syndication program that was sold to each individual station. It was not part of the Fox network, although many of the stations that ran Star Trek: The Next Generation were Fox affiliates. Because of the first-run status, all the stations had to record the program weekly during a Saturday feed (the Sat. Date), and had a second opportunity to record the program during a Sunday re-feed. Each station then ran the program during the official "Week-Of", which ran from the following Monday until Sunday. Star Trek: The Next Generation is now in daily "strip" syndication. 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. All of the episodes are suppossed to be aired in production code order, although this can cause some problems. Many stations have aired the first season episode Skin of Evil before Symbiosis, and another error that has occurred is that stations air Suddenly Human, Brothers, and Family in that order instead of Family, Brothers, and "Suddenly Human". 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 an out of town station both carry Star Trek: The Next Generation, your local station can have the out of town station's Star Trek: The Next Generation broadcasts 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 Star Trek: The Next Generation in stereo, yet, sometimes, 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 Star Trek: The Next Generation's audio. Then, thank the Chief Engineer for his time.

Box 93103 Long Beach CA 90809-9924 (800) 322-2285 M-F 7AM-6PM Sat 8AM-5PM (PST) Video Tape -++++++++- Many episodes are available through Paramount Home Video. Also, Columbia House Video Library is distributing TNG on VHS video tape. Encounter At Farpoint is carried on these series of tapes as a two-hour movie, as seen originally in 1987.

The episode are ordered according to Production Code number. To order, call Columbia House for more information at 1-800-538-7766. Australia -=======- Star Trek: The Next Generation is shown on Channel 9 on Tuesday and Thursday nights, but is interrupted once or twice every several weeks.

Belgium -=====- Star Trek: The Next Generation is shown once a week on Sunday afternoons at 17:00 on VTM. As of May 1993, they are airing season 3. England/United Kingdom -====================- [Before the IRA lobs a bomb at me for referring to England ;), please note that many people refer to England in the United States, and, besides, listing all of the parts would take too long. (It would be like listing all fifty states instead of United States above.) Now, when will the BBC produce new Dr. Who episodes?] 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 Star Trek: The Next Generation, and is currently in the middle of the sixth season. It is aired at 5 PM and 10:30 PM Mondays through Fridays. There is some slight editing in the 5 PM showing, but no editing at the 10:30 showing. Sky has restored scenes cut from the above episodes, and has also aired The High Ground as an previously unscreened episode on ??????, however, some scenes were missing. Also, Sky has begun scrambling as of September [of which year?]. Finland -=====- The series is titled "Star Trek - Uusi Sukupolvi", which, translated, means "Star Trek - The New Generation".

They will definitely show 153 episodes (up to "Descent II") and perhaps even the new episodes of the 7th season.

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: "Captain's Log: Stardate 45076.3" The "4" represents that the series takes place in the 24th century, according to an original writer's guide, although Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager will change that. It also has been noted that 1000 stardates pass with every year. The "5" represents the season number of Star Trek: The Next Generation without exception. The "076" represents the portion of a season that advances during Star Trek: The Next Generation. 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 was considered acceptable, or canon, for Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes, as well as po * Almost all of the original series (except for obvious conflicts) * All of Star Trek: The Motion Picture * Most of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search For Spock, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country * All of the Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes * "Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual" by Mike Okuda and Rick Sternbach The following is not acceptable: * Star Trek (The Animated Series) * Star Trek V: The Final Frontier * All Star Trek Novels (yes, even the ones Gene Roddenberry wrote) * All fanzines and fan written material * Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise * Worlds Of The Federation * All FASA Material Ranks and Insignia ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Star Trek: 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) Apparently, the number of circles corresponds to the number of "stars" the admiral has. 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. Shuttlecraft ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following shuttlecraft, associated with the Enterprise, have appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation: NCC-1701D-1 - "Sakarov" ("Unnatural Selection") NCC-1701D-2 - "Goddard" (loaned to Scotty in "Relics") NCC-1701D-5 - "El-Baz" ("Time Squared", "Descent, Part I") 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") NCC-1701D-9 - ("The Price") NCC-1701D-12 - "Pike" (destroyed in "The Most Toys") NCC-1701D-13 - (crashed on Vegra II in "Skin of Evil") - "Fermi" (Destroyed - "Rascals") 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".

Crossovers -========- Star Trek (Original Series) -+++++++++++++++++++++++++- While Star Trek: The Next Generation is supposed to take place 78 years after the original series, there have been occasions in which various characters and actors, who appeared in either the original series or the movies, reappeared on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Among these are.... 1. 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. 3. The Naked Now - The records from the original Enterprise ("The Naked Time") were used to combat a microbe that causes drunk-like effects. Captain Kirk was mentioned in this episode. 22.

Enterprise Exceeds Warp Limits -============================- The Enterprise is able to only achieve Warp 9.5 "with extreme risk" (Encounter at Farpoint). However, there have been various times when this 'speed limit' has been exceeded. 6.

Picard violates the Prime Directive -=================================- In "The Drumhead", it is recorded that Picard violated the Prime Directive nine times while in command of the Enterprise. While it was not directly specified what the nine violations were, these are believed to be the episodes containing these violations: 8. Justice - In order to save Wesley from the death penalty for (accidentally) violating one of the Edo laws. 14. Angel One - The crew barely managed to save the survivors of a Federation ship from death for trying to change the society of Angel One. 41. Pen Pals - Data communicates with a girl whose planet was slowly self-destructing. 44.

Legacy - The commando raid might have radically changed the balance of power on the planet. 89. First Contact - The Enterprise contacts a planet in order to rescue Commander Riker. Saucer Separation -===============- The TNG Enterprise, being a starship carrying families, has the ability to separate into saucer and warp drive sections 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. 1. 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. 21.

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. Part of the reason that we didn't see more saucer seperations was due to budget constraints. Time Travel -=========- 24.

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. 126. 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 constructs a phase inverter, and, in the process, manages to travel to 1893. At the end of part one, Picard, Riker, Troi, Dr. Crusher, and Geordi walk into the time vortex, and end up in the 19th century, although they did manage to get back into the 24th century, and accidentally sending Samuel Clemens to the 24th century before returning him to the 19th century. 141.

The resulting coverup causes Wesley to repeat a year at the academy. 172. Journey's End - Wesley warns the colonists that the Federation may beam them up, endangering the away team. Who's Smoking? -============- 1&2. Encounter at Farpoint - Q appears in 20th century military uniform with an unlit cigarette in his right hand. 7. Lonely Among Us - Data smokes a pipe (much to the dismay of the rest of the crew, especially Lt. Yar) as the first part of adopting his Sherlock Holmes character. 12.

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 fly-bys 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 Decker and Ilia 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) ...LeVar Burton, when shooting began for "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II", was in the hospital for emergency surgery. Colm Meany was used instead for several scenes, and LeVar appeared in closeups during BOBW2 and was absent for several episodes after that. ...LeVar Burton made his screen debut on Roots? He's not the only one. Thalmus Rasulala, who played Captain Donald Varley of the USS Yamato in "Contagion", played Omoro Kinte in Roots. Also, Ben Vereen, who is also a Star Trek fan, also appeared on Roots. ...While filming "The Wounded", there was a scene in which Colm Meaney was serving Keiko steak and potatoes for dinner. The potatoes had to get from the spoon to the plate easily, while he continued with the dialogue, moved around, served himself, etc. After about a zillion takes, it finally worked, except that one small piece of potato bounced off the plate and onto the table. So, Colm improvised, and quickly popped it in his mouth. "Cut!" "What was wrong with that?" "Well, you popped that potato in your mouth." "Yeah, so?" "Well, you can't do that see, this is a self-cleaning ship." "I got to it FIRST." ...Hawking was on the Paramount lot for the video release of the film A Brief History of Time. He was given a tour of the set, and when they reached the bridge set, he began tapping out something he wanted to say through his voice synthesizer. After about a minute, it said "Could you take me out of my chair and put me in the captain's chair?" Now, Hawking never asks to be taken out of his chair, so this was clearly a very big deal. Someone did, and a few days later the idea of a quick cameo came up for "Descent". ...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: 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. (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 two 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 achieve that level of detail, F/X put everything in 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 "Star Trek: Phase II" series, 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. ...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", it was impossible to re-use the original bridge, partially because it was broken up and destroyed after the original series. Instead, they used a captain's chair and helm/navigation console build by a Star Trek fan named Steve Horch. The only other part that was built was from about a foot to the left of the turbolift to the end of Scotty's engineering station, as well as the railing that separates that from the center of the bridge. Also, the Con and Ops chairs were look-alikes, and are tilted back more than the real ones. The rest was a still from "This Side of Paradise", not "The Mark Of Gideon". Also, the Aldebran Whiskey was actually Hi-C Ecto Cooler. ...In "Booby Trap", the original name of the holographic scientist was to be Leah Daystrom, who was the great-great-granddaughter 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. ...In "Chain of Command", the thing inside the eggs that Picard and the Cardassian ate were dead squids with little machines under them to make them move. ...Andy Probert designed the Enterprise D, and owns the designs to the Enterprise.

Andy is the spectator wearing "a giant tribble", actually a very large fur hat. ...The original Wright plane was named.....BIRD OF PREY! ...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 is used only 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" used to designate the male heir to the royal throne while the royalty was still in place in France. ...The reason that you keep seeing a lot of the same faces on Star Trek: The Next Generation, 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. ...In "Deja Q", they had some problems filimg John DeLancie's nude scene. The director had him in a jockstrap, but couldn't film around the indentations it made in his skin because of the camera's perspective. Finally, he told everyone who was offended by nudity to leave the set, dropped the jock strap, and got the scene in one take. Incidentally, that scene was filmed at 7 AM, and the mariachi band scene at midnight. ..."Family" and "Liaisons" are the only episodes in the original Star Trek, the movies, and Star Trek: The Next Generation which has no scenes filmed on the bridge. ..."Tin Man" was a life form borrowed from the "Wild Card" book series? ...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. ...Robin Curtis was originally slated to play the female terrorist in "Starship Mine", but due to a conflicting shooting schedule, was unable to play the part. She, instead, appeared in "Gambit" as a Romulan. ...Sidney Poitier was originally wanted for the role of Geordi LaForge, but, due to a conflict in schedules, was unavailable. Ben Vereen, however, was available, and this episode was the first time Ben and LeVar had worked together since the mini-series Roots. ...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: Riker: (indicating) "Minuet. Minuet, Captain Jean-Luc Picard."

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". 37. Contagion - Another Galaxy Class Starship is mentioned: the USS 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 in which a battleship is reconfigured to become a starship in order to recover something called the "Cosmo DNA", but was really loosely based upon Jason and the Argonauts. This series was called Starship Yamato. In the British version of Starship Yamato, the ship's captain, Susumo Kodia, was named Jason Kodai. In the American version of Starship Yamato, the series was titled Star Blazers, the captain was named Derek Wildstar, but the ship was named the Argo. 43. Samaritan Snare - Picard mentions "Nausicans" in a conversation with Wesley on the shuttlecraft. Back To The Future -================- 69.

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." In addition, on another machine language, 201 (decimal) corresponds to no valid machine instruction at all, which translates to a NOP (No Operation for 2 machine cycles). Doctor Who -========- A cult British Science Fiction series which ran on BBC1 from November 23, 1963 to December, 1989, with a TV Movie that aired in May, 1996. 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. 26. 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, J. Pertwee m. T. Baker, and P. Davison m. C. Baker, and J-L. Picard m. W. Riker. Other references include Gilligan's Island and M*A*S*H. Also, the face pictured on the screen is Peter Lauritson, one of the producers of Star Trek: The Next Generation. 73. Transfigurations - 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. 117. 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) 124. The Next Phase - One of the control panels on the Romulan Ship looks somewhat like the TARDIS control console. (V) Dirty Pair -========- 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 than when they arrived, although it's usually not their fault. The series itself has had original Star Trek in-jokes in it also. 25. 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..... 31.

Dune -==- 37. Contagion - 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. The Military -==========- 1. Encounter At Farpoint - The military uniform Q wears is that of a Marine Corps lieutenant colonel. And if you look closely, his rank, ribbons and badges are all identical to those worn by Lt. Col. Oliver North when he testified at the Iran-Contra hearings in 1986-87, just before "Farpoint" went into production. Money In The Future -=================- It should be noted that people are always offering to buy each other coffee, etc. in Ten Forward, but this may just be a gesture, since we never see anyone pay for anything. Also, they must be playing poker for some stakes, just playing for chips would be meaningless. 1. Encounter At Farpoint - Beverly Crusher buys a roll of cloth, and has her account on the Enterprise billed. 5. The Last Outpost - The Ferengi called the comm badges a shamefull use of a precious metal, yet they said they have their own "matter-energy device". 23. Skin Of Evil - Worf mentioned that Tasha was favored in the ship's pool in the upcoming martial arts tournament. 25. Conspiracy - The planet where the Starship Captains meet is Ditalics B, and is said to be owned by Ditalics Mining Corporation, which may imply something of the Federation's economic structure. 26. The Neutral Zone - Picard mentions that they no longer use money. 45. Manhunt - Picard, while on the holodeck running the Dixon Hill program, goes to the bar to buy a drink. He, of course, forgot to bring money, and the lady had to pay for the drinks. 47. Peak Performance - Riker is playing strategema against Kolrami. Worf whispers to Riker that he has bet a "sizeable amount" on Riker in the ship's pool. 56. The Price - There is a bidding war going on for the use of a wormhole, and Picard mentions how much toll the Ferengi might charge if they get the rights to use that wormhole. 62.

Robin Hood -========- In "Q-Pid", an obvious take-off of Robin Hood, the following crewmembers played the following characters: Picard -> Robin Hood Riker -> Little John Data -> Friar Tuck Worf -> Will Scarlet. Is not a merry man! LaForge -> Alan-a-Dale Vash -> Maid Marian Q -> The Sheriff of Nottingham Shakespeare -=========- It is well known that Patrick Stewart is a Shakepearean actor from England, and had a bit of a problem transitioning himself from stage acting to tv acting in the first season. Patrick Stewart did a stint with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and has also done productions of Shakespeare and led acting workshops with a Univ. of California-based acting troupe known as ACTER, of which he remains an executive member. Stewart also appeared in a number of the BBC productions, including The Merchant of Venice and Hamlet. Chances are, a good library would have videotapes of these. A few of the crummier ones may also have copies. Patrick Stewart has also appeared for several summers on the UC Santa Cruz campus with the Shakespeare Santa Cruz group. Patrick Stewart played Shylock in a 1978 Royal Shakespeare Company production of The Merchant of Venice at The Other Place. He has also played a naked Oberon. He wrote an essay on the production which can be found in Players of Shakespeare, edited by Philip Brockbank. Anyways, several references to Shakespeare appear on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Captain Picard is a fan of Shakespere, probably due to Patrick Stewarts own enthusiasm. The title of the play and reference are in quotes, with 4.2.74 referring to Act 4, Scene 2, Line 74. 1. Encounter at Farpoint - Picard says, "Kill all the lawyers!", which comes from "2 Henry VI 4.2.74". 3. The Naked Now - Data says, "When you prick me do I not...leak?". This is paraphrased from "Merchant of Venice 3.1.60-61". 10. 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". Later on in the episode, Picard says, "Oh, I know Hamlet, and what he might say with irony, I say with conviction: What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god!" from Hamlet 2.2.304-308. 35. The Measure Of A Man - Picard inscribed a quotation from one of Shakespeare's sonnets inside the cover of an antique of them he gave to Data: "When in disgrace with fortune in men's eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state." 58. 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". 65. 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". 70. The Most Toys - A quote of Sharespeare (1564-1616) from "Hamlet", bookmarked by Data, catches Picard's eye when the volume is returned to him after the android is presumed lost. 72. Menage A Troi- Picard sets about wooing Lwaxana Troi back from Daimon Tog. In the process, he delivers a Shakespearean mish-mash from Sonnets 147, 141, 18, 116, and Othello 5.2.13-15. 79. Remember Me - The title is from "Hamlet 2.5.89-92 & 111-113" with the entire passage from "Hamlet 1.5.89-113". Star Trek -=======- 3. 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". 99. 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", in reference to the Pontiac commercials that Patrick Stewart was doing at the time. 139. Aquiel - The name of the Klingon battlecruiser that meets with the Enterprise 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. [Unknown] - The race, Bolians, of which Mott the barber is one of, is mentioned here. They are named after Cliff Bole, a frequent directer of TNG and DSN. (Incidentally, Cliff Bole also directed several episodes of DSN). Other -===- 27. The Child - In this episode, Doctor Pulaski refers to "Cyano Acrylates", which are the active ingredients for SuperGlue, as a possible source of the Ikner radiation that was causing the plague samples to grow. 36. 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) 37. Contagion - 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. 40. The Icarus Factor - The Star Trek: The Next Generation 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", "Yuri", "Akira", and "Tonari No Totoro". In addition, the scrolls hanging on the walls also say, "Ataru", "Lum", and "Uresai Yatsura". 67. Captain's Holiday - Riasa comes from the German word Reise, meaning trip or journey. 80. 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) 94. 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. 96. Half A Life - One of the displays has the number "4077" in the corner, a reference to M*A*S*H. 102. 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 factors 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. In one manner or another, he comes very close, but always manages to miss. 126. Time's Arrow - The paper that Data picks up is the San Francisco Register, which is same newspaper that Kirk and company saw being taken out of the vending machine. 127. Time's Arrow II - Samuel Clemens mispronounces Hailey's comet. The promounciation he uses comes from the 1950's, when "Bill Hailey and the Comets", best known for "Rock Around the Clock" was popular. (UV) 130. 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 Search For Spock. The "It is green" bit comes from the original Star Trek "By Any Other Name". - Other in-jokes, albeit unseen, include: Shuttlecraft "Pontiac" and "Indiana Jones" on operations board; crew quarters for Lt. Luke Skywalker. 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 severely 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 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE: A (UV) means that I haven't verified the SNAFU, (V) means verified. 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 . . . . . 1. 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." * 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) 3. The Naked Now - * In the teaser, Data says, "Captain, what we've just heard is...impossible." * During act one, while on the science vessel, Data says: "Correction, sir.. that's blown out." instead of "that is". * After being examined by Dr. Crusher, Data says "I'm already listed in several bio-mechanical texts." * 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) 4. Code Of Honor - * After telling the joke about kiddlelies (?), which contains two contractions, Data says, "I've told 662 jokes." * On the planet, where Data and Geordi have beamed down to examine the weapons to be used in the fight, Picard speculates as to the use of a number of metal lengths in the yard. Data answers at some length as to their possible uses, and is cut off by Picard - Picard: "Thank you, Data". Data: "You're welcome, sir." * Back on board the Enterprise, Data is briefing Riker as to Picard's plan. Data: "I'm here to brief you on what he wants." 5. The Last Outpost - During the conversation with Sentry, Data clearly said "I'm afraid not." (UV) 6. 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) 13. Datalore - This episode is quite surprising, since this is one episode which they should have been extra careful about using contractions. * 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." * 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." * 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." * 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." (V) 20. Heart of Glory - (UV) 29. 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) 64. 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) 82. Future Imperfect - The future Data uses a contraction. 99. 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) 135. The Quality Of Life - Data clearly states "The transporter controls are not malfunctioning. I've locked out the controls." Other -===- Opening Credits (1st & 2nd Season) - During the opening sequence, the graphics show 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. 1. Encounter at Farpoint - The computer, giving Riker directions in order to meet Data on the holodeck, tells him the holodeck is the next door on the right. However, Riker turns left and walks into the holodeck. (UV) 3. The Naked Now - When Troi finds Tasha in her quarters, affected by the intoxication disease and trying on Troi's scarves, she and Tasha hold hands as Tasha tries to grab a scarf from Troi. The camera switches views between Troi and Tasha as they face each other. When facing Troi, Troi is holding Tasha's right hand with her right hand. When facing Tasha, she is holding Tasha's right hand with her left hand. Also, in one of the views, they are holding a scarf, but not in the other. The rights and lefts may be off, but there is definitely a screw-up in the scene. (UV) 4. 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) * During the fight with Yareena, Yar's weapon is on her left hand. However, when Yar beams up with Yareena, the weapon moves to her right hand. I hate to think what else could be rearranged during transport! (UV) 9. The Battle - The Ferengi Daimon raises the shields on the Stargazer, which should prevent transport, yet, right after raising shields, the Daimon beams off the Stargazer. 10. Hide and Q - Shortly after Riker and the bridge crew are teleported to the planet by Q, Data's rank insignia are wrong. He's suddenly a LtJG for about three minutes. (UV) 13. 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) * The glass of champagne Lore pours for Data goes flat immediately before Data picks it up thanks to the time that passed between the filming of the scenes. You can see it during the traveling wipe. (UV) 23. 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) * The computer-generated picture Worf is looking at within the first minutes of "Skin of Evil" is the very same 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! 25. 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." 29. Elementary, Dear Data - Geordi asks, "What's wrong Data?" Data gives him the page. Geordi says, "Data this is impossible," and he flips the paper over so that it faces the camera. At this point we see the drawing right-side-up, which means that Geordi was looking at it upside down. (UV) 31. 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) 35. The Measure of a Man - * In the first third we see the Enterprise circle this spinning spacestation, but then, when Picard meets this woman the first time, they stay at the window and you can see the moving Enterprise in front of motionless stars. (UV) * 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. In addition, the speed at which the bari is bent should have produced plenty of heat. 36. The Dauphin - There is a scene where both of the aliens have changed into monsters. First the nanny changes to attack Wesley, then the girl changes. There is a cut, and you see both monsters from a side view. The girl-monster stands in front of a mirror, but you don't see a mirror image. The monsters change back to the human forms and you still cannot see the mirror images. At this time there is a cut again, but you see a similar view of the room and now you can see the mirror image of the girl in the mirror. At the time they copied the monsters on the film, they didn't recognize that there was a mirror in that room. 38. 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). * After beaming down, they then scan the atmosphere to see if it's safe to breathe. (V) 42. Q Who - * Q snaps with his fingers to send the Enterprise back to the starting point. The ship then turns around to the left. But look at the view of the stars on the screen: they move from right to left. This is the wrong direction. (UV) * Worf shoots Borg #1, who falls to the ground, his left arm sprawled over his head and his right leg bent in an awkward position. The camera switches to wide-angle, and in that instant the dead Borg changes his position. (UV) 43. 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) 44. Up The Long Ladder - When Riker and his team are overpowered in the clone Prime Minister's office, Riker is rendered unconscious by a phaser set to stun. As he is being dragged off-scene, you see him look up at the camera just as he thinks he is out of the shot. (UV) 46. The Emissary - Data is playing poker at the start with the bridge crew. The stakes are being raised as they go around the table. Gerdie folds, Dr. Pulanski sees and raises by pushing a stack of coins onto the pot. Long shot: small pot, no stacks. Close up: pot with 3 stacks of coins. Number One sees and moves another stack into the pot. Long shot: original pot, no stacks of coins. Worf wins with 3 aces. Any gambler keeps an eye on the pot; seems the director of TNG doesn't. (UV) 55. 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) 56. 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) * When Troi and someone is having dinner, at one point, one of them lifts up a fork and takes a bite, without anything on the fork. Must be a tasty fork! (UV) 59. The Hunted - At the end when the prisoners show up, Danar tells the leader to shoot. Danar shoots the wall behind him and it blasts a hole in the wall. Later scenes show the wall to be undamaged. (UV) 63. Yesterday's Enterprise - At the end of the episode, Geordi talks with Guinan. However, he is wearing an open neck uniform with black cuffs from the alternate timeline. (V) 65. Sins of the Father - The sound effects people must have fallen asleep every time someone got slapped. (V) 67. Captain's Holiday - Picard is giving Vash the shovel with the handle pointing towards Picard. Switch to a far shot and the handle is now pointing to Vash. 68. Tin Man - The Enterprise and the Romulan ship are thrown far away by Tin Man. Wesley said that thev've been thrown "3.8 billion kilometers away". A couple seconds later, the sun goes nova, and they all saw it on the viewscreen. Unless the viewscreen is supposed to have some sort of sensor mechanism that relays events faster than the speed of light would bring the view in, they shouldn't have been able to view the star going nova for three and a half hours (assuming the US definition of "billion"): 3.8E9 km * 1000 m/km [ -------------------- ] / 3600 s/min = 3.52 hours 3E8 m/s 70. 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) 71. 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. Performing in front of the audience did not come about until much later. Second, the Allegro is by Brahm's, not Mozart. Third, the Allegro is a sextet, not a quartet. (UV) * Geordi and Wesley are setting up this pool, and Wesley says that the temperature is 150 degrees celsius, which is 302 degrees Farenheit. However, there was no obvious radiant heat because Geordi and Wesley stand close to the pool and peer inside. (UV) 75. Best of Both Worlds, Part II - As the Borg Ship is shown warping towards the Saturn, the lighting on the planet is from the right, and the Borg ship arrives on the screen from the right, which would indicate that the ship is coming from the same direction as the sun... kind of a round-about way to get to the Earth, eh? (UV) 76. Family - * Jack Crusher is shown not wearing a communicator pin), then they show him again and a comm badge has magically appeared. (UV) * At the end of the episode, there is a scene of Picard's young nephew, Rene, sitting under a tree and gazing up at the stars (presumably imagining following in his uncle's footsteps). Appearing clearly in the middle of the sky is the constellation Orion. But while the episode appears to be set in the summer months, Orion is only visible in the early evenings in the dead of winter. Either the 24th century terraforming teams have conveniently rearranged Earth's seasons (after all, they did make France look a lot like the Sonoma Valley), or the post-production people goofed up. 77. 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) 78. Suddenly Human - * When Jeramiah (?) sits down in 10 forward to have a banana split, he is on Wesley's left. Then when Wesley get hit by the ice cream, it comes from Wesley's right. (UV) * Near the end when Picard brings Jeramiah (?) onto the bridge, we don't hear the sound effect of the turbolift doors opening. (UV) 79. 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 effects people keep making the sounds in time. (V) * Dr. Crusher enters the turbo lift, in the last act, and ask to go to Engineering. The computer refuses and she says to go anywhere on Deck 36, and the turbolift then goes. The lights of the turbo lift then go down, indicating the lift went up from the bridge. (UV). * When everyone has disappeared and Bev comes off the turbolift and down onto the bridge, the cameraman/equipment can be seen in the reflective glass/mirror to the left of the lift. (UV) 80. Legacy - During the card trick with Data, Riker's hand keeps on changing position during the trick when the camera switches. (UV) 81. Reunion - * After K'Eyhlar dies, Alexander runs away. Worf lets out his primal scream. Then, 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) * Dr. Crusher and her aide come from the bedroom, not from the corridor. Maybe they killed her... (UV) * When Worf kills Gowron near the end of the episode the camera shows Gowron's dead body and red blood coming from it. This is in conflict with Star Trek VI where the Klingons had pink blood. (UV). 87. Devil's Due - In the original Star Trek 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) 88. 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. 91. Night Terrors - Check out the Brittain's visual log when the captain is going mad, the name of the ship in the log is the USS Brattain, even though the saucer decal reads USS Brittain. (UV) 93. The Nth Degree - In the holodeck scene where Troi attempts to talk Barclay out of the neural net device he has concocted, the holodeck doors don't close properly. A section of light is visible for a minute or more at about waist level. 94. Qpid - Vash is writing this letter to Riker, then she folds it like this: ______________________ | | --- | Riker | --- | | | | | |----------------------| | Sideview: | | | | -> | help | <- | | Text within | | -----------\ | | -----------------------------/ | | |______________________| So that the text is covered completely with the first fold. Then she places the next fold over the first: _______________________ | | |-> | | <-| | | | | | |----------------------| | /------------ | | | | | ------------\ |-- | | --| \---------------/ |______________________| Then, when Q enters and finds the letter, he just opens the second fold, but he is holding the letter *upside down*! He starts reading even though the words are not visible to him, because the first fold is still closed. And he knows that the letter is for Riker. Sure, Q knows everything, but why did he have top open it at ALL then? :-) (UV) 95. 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) 96. 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 mike is visible in the reflection. (V) 99. 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) 101. 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. * 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 The Undiscovered Country. (UV) 102. Darmok - * Due to a post production error, the phasers shot out of the photon torpedo tubes. (V) * The very last shot (from outside the ship) shows Picard looking out the windows of his ready room. You can see a reflection in the window of the stars moving. However, they are moving straight toward the window. The ready room on the port side of the ship. The stars should have been moving left to right (from our reflected view). (UV) 103. 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) * Then, when Ro talks with the girl, we sometimes se shots taken from behind the girl, sometimes from behind Ro. On the shots taken from behind the girl, Ro is less crouched, I mean that her head is much higher compared to when she is filmed from behind her. 104. 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) 105. 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 audible, even though sound doesn't travel in a vacuum. (Probably dramatic reasons) * When the ship starts shaking, they cut to Ten Forward, where the stars are shaking right along with the ship. (V) * 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. (UV) * In the last scene, Picard is leaving the bridge heading for his ready room, the door closes too early, and the sound comes too late. (UV) 106. The Game - When the crew are forcing Wesley to play the game, and Riker is holding his eyes open, Wesley blinks. (V) 107. Unification I - When Dr. Crusher is examining Data in order to prep him (and Picard) for 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? 108. 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) 110. 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. * The creature which Riker saves from the lab is obviously a hand puppet. (V) 112. Violations - Troi and Tarmin 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." (UV) 113. 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. 114. 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 Riker's 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 Worf's. The camera cuts to Worf, and we see MacDuff approaching Worf. (UV) * Beverly Crusher is listed in the crew manifest as a Lt. Cmdr, when her actual rank is Commander. (UV) 116. 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) 118. 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 grey 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 grey uniform in the next loop? (V) 119. The First Duty - * About 10 minutes in Wes goes to the door. The long shot has him opening the door with his *left hand*. Cut to close up, and the door is being opened with his right hand. (UV) * About 40 minutes in. Wes is talking to [someone] in his quarters. From behind, his hands are in one position, and when we cut to the front, they're in another position, obviously different. (UV) 120. Cost of Living - * In the turbolift where Picard and Data got trapped, due to the metal parasites, look closely: Picard, in this scene only, is wearing only three pips. (V) * Picard is told that the inertial dampers had failed, after which he orders the Enterprise out of warp. If the inertial dampers had failed, they would have been splattered all over the bridge. (V) * When Lwaxana and Alexander are in the mudbath, Alexander is holding an edible glass with a bite in it. One shot shows the bite pointing to the right and another shot shows it pointing to Alexander's left. (UV) 122. Imaginary Friend - Data says something about a lower strand density to the starboard side, and Picard tells him to move towards it, and the view shifts to the exterior of the Enterprise turning left. (UV) 123. 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". 124. The Next Phase - * One of things overlooked is an explanation of why Geordi and Ro are able to breathe or not be able to go through the floors. Oops. There is even a scene where Geordi's hand goes through a table, but another where a phased Romulan can sit in a chair that rocks when he gets up. (UV) * When the Romulan is fighting with Ro, and LaForge shoves him through the bulkhead, we see the Romulan exit the Enterprise facing us right-side up, but when they show him drifting away into the icy cold of space, he is facing away from us right-side up he's facing the wrong way as he's rotating! (UV) * Riker starts playing the trombone before his lips reach the mouthpiece. (UV) 126. Time's Arrow - * The paper that Data picks up is dated "Sunday, August 11, 1893". Unfortunately, August 11, 1893 was a Friday. (V) * During the episode "Clues", Guinan says she was late because she had trouble getting into her dress, yet, in this episode, she is seen wearing a dress. (V) 128. Realm of Fear - After 4 seasons, lt O'Brien has suddenly lost his normal two pips, replaced by a single hollow pip. Other pip-problems include lt Barclay's single/hollow pips swapping position, as well as having two solid pips when in Troi's office. They probably felt that Barclay needed to outrank O'Brien to be able to influence him. 129. Man Of The People - There were several snafus that 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 obvious that Marina didn't have her black contacts in. * Picard referred to transporter room 3 twice at the crucial time of beaming out the ambassador's aide? He told room 2 to be ready. Transporter room 2 was referred to throughout the episode. This is a relatively trivial point, but a stupid production error none the less. (UV) * Also, isn't it amazing how dead hair folicles can change color from grey to brown when Troi de-ages, isn't it? 131. 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. (UV) * Worf notes that Lt. Haggerl had just returned to Deck 9, Section 17, yet, seconds later, Dr. Crusher wants a device brought to Deck 9, Section 19. (V) 133. 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) * 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) * Amazingly, the clothing shrank, but not proportionally, and Guinan's hat and Ro's headband are perfect. (V) * When Riker dives to avoid a phaser blast, we *HEAR* the phaser, but do not see it. 134. 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) * When Pa Hollinder talks to the young Hollinder, and Pa turns, his hand gets "cut off" due to the video wipe. (V) * While Pa talk with Worf and Troi, take a look at the manniquin stand-in for Young Hollinder. 136. Chain Of Command - * The tunnels were underground, yet, they never once used a flashlight, and there was light down there. (UV) * 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? 138. Ship In A Bottle - * When the book is tossed out of the holodeck, it got zapped immediately. This conflicts with "The Big Goodbye", in which the gangsters, when they walked out of the holodeck, they de-rezzed slowly. * In "Elementary, Dear Data", there was a sheet of paper which did not de-rez when Picard took it out of the holodeck. Moriarty must have made some programming boo-boos. (V) * When Picard walks into the holodeck he is wearing his open coat with the blue shirt, but he walks out wearing his one-piece red shirt. Either he changed his uniform inside the holo-deck and is wearing a holo-shirt (in which case his uniform top should have disappeared when he steps out of the holo-deck at the end of the episode) or they screwed up again! :-) (UV) * When they cut to a commercial break at the end of the scene where Moriarty tells Picard he has taken over the ship, Picard begins to say something as the screen fades. It's close to the end of the first half of the episode. (UV) 140. Face Of The Enemy - * When the defector ensign boards the Enterprise, he asks Riker to meet with Captain Picard. When Picard walks to that ensigns quarters, the defector addresses him as Commander as if Picard were a Romulan CO. (UV) * Troi is surgically altered to look like a Romulan, including the short hair style. When Crusher alters her back, she has long hair again. So Crusher can accelerate hair growth, the Romulan captor hid her hair, Troi wears a wig, or they messed up another scene! 142. Birthright, Part I - When Data first started painting, you could hear his furious little brushstrokes against the canvas (whish whish whish!). But when he stopped painting and stepped back to view his work, you could still hear the brushstrokes (whish whish whish)! (UV) 143. Birthright, Part II - Worf states that Kayhless caused the oceans to overflow with his tears. Slight problem: In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Spock states that Klingons have no tear ducts. 149. Rightful Heir - It is stated that there has not been a Klingon Emperor for over 300 years. However, in "Sins of the Father", Worf's nanny states that Worf's father was loyal to the Emperor. 150. Second Chances - Near the end of the episode Cdr Riker is rescuing Lt Riker on the edge of the cliff. In one of the long shots, the stunt double dressed as Lt Riker was wearing a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine gold and black uniform tunic, not a Star Trek: The Next Generation tunic. When Lt Riker then gets his next close-up, he's back in a Star Trek: The Next Generation gold tunic. Somebody in the costuming department wasn't careful that day. If it was one of the early Star Trek: The Next Generation uniforms, though, it could have been bunched up around his shoulders (they tend to do that when your arms are raised), so what the viewer sees is the black undershirt. (UV) 151. Timescape - * As Troi enters sickbay for the first time, she scoots past two security officers in mid-stride just before they enter sickbay. Later, as she yanks Beverly out of the way and draw on the Romulan, no security guards enter the room (even though they were scant feet from entering and in the middle of a stride). (UV) * When Data, Troi and Picard returned to the Enterprise and set time in motion again, Picard was on the bridge. When time started forward again, Picard told Riker that he'd find Geordi on the Romulan ship and to beam him directly to sickbay. The Romulan ship is no longer around. (UV) * The runabout crew had just suffered a port engine shutdown, due to the effect of the time discontinuity bubbles. Picard tells Data that he is going to check the fuel consumption logs and proceeds to go to another part of the craft. We see a plate of aged fruit as Picard walks in. Notice his right hand as he enters. His fingers are curled inward, shielding his nails from our view. When he sits down at the control panel, he begins to touch the controls with the pads of his fingers. His extra long nails are already clearly visible, moments before he ever reached for the fruit. (UV) 154. Liasons - In the poker scene, when the Ambassador "stole" some of Worf's chips, Worf stated that he saw him steal 2 of his chips, but the cut-a-way shot clearly showed him taking 3. (UV) 157. Gambit II - Worf reports a hit on port nacelle. However, the phaser blast was on the starboard nacelle. (V) 160. Attached - Funny thing, in both Dr. Crusher's quarters and Captain Picard's quarters, the same idential painting are in both quarters. (UV) 161. Force of Nature - In "Phantasms" and several episodes previous, Data's cat, Spot, is referred to as "he". Yet, in this episode, Spot is referred to as "she", and, in "Genesis", is shown having kittens before turning (temporarily), into a Iguana. 162. Inheritance - In one scene, Juliana is seen stepping onto the transporter pads wearing heels, and arrived on the planet wearing flats. (UV) 163. Parallels - In several scenes, Data is seen with having blue eyes instead of the yellowish-grey eyes. Brent forgot his contacts! (UV) 166. Sub Rosa - In the cemetery, Beverly asks Deanna to go with her to the house. Deanna agrees and they walk out of the cemetery. Then Picard begins a discussion with the Governor of the colony. Towards the end of the discussion, when the Governor is explaining about visiting the castle, Deanna walks across the cemetery in the background. (She left with Beverly.) The next scene shows Beverly and Deanna entering the house. (V) 177. All Good Things - It was stated that all three Enterprises fired the Tachion beams. However, it was the Pasteur that fired the initial beam. - 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. It should also be noted that Portal was unable to read the Ferengi mind in "The Last Outpost" because the Ferengi mind is somehow shielded. - 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Star Trek: The Next Generation 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 Star Trek: The Next Generation. It is written by Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda, who work in Star Trek: The Next Generation'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: 7 - The line drawing of the Enterprise is the mirror image of what it should be. Shuttlebay 3 (the wide bay) should be on the right hand side and Shuttlebay 2 (the narrow bay). The descriptions, however, point to the correct relative positions. This has been confirmed with the onscreen image of the Enterprise and the other drawings throughout the manual. 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. 77 - One of the controls not seen is the "Infinite Improbability Generator", a reference from the "Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy" 120 - The tricorder display shows "TR580 TRICORDER VII", a reference to the old Radio Shack TRS-80's. 159 - One of the shuttle names is "Hawking" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Star Trek: Generations Released: November 18, 1994 Cast Listing ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Main Cast -=======- Patrick Stewart - Picard Jonathan Frakes - Riker Brent Spiner - Data Levar Burton - Geordi Michael Dorn - Worf Gates McFadden - Beverly Marina Sirtis - Troi Malcolm McDowell - Soran James Doohan - Scotty Walter Koenig - Chekov William Shatner - Kirk Whoopi Goldberg - Guinan (uncredited) Starfleet Personnel -=================- Alan Ruck - Capt.

Some of the changed scenes include.... * The opening sequence was as follows: Originally, interspersed with the wine bottle floating through space we see shots of Kirk "Space - Diving." He is free-falling through space, eventually coming into the atmosphere. Paramount nixed this as they didn't think that the idea of Kirk falling to earth with his butt on fire (that's where the heat sheilds are) would go over too well. The entire sequence was cut out. * Another scene that was cut out WHICH HAD FOLLOWUP dialog STILL IN the movie was the Geordi torture scene. Aboard the Klingon vessel, we hear Soran comment when asked `Did you get any information out of him' with "His heart wasn't in it." In the missing scene he puts some nanites in Geordi's heart so that he can stop it at any time to torture him. As well, once he is back aboard TE Beverly, in one of her two lines, mentions that there was some ` ... damage to the coronary artery ...' This again related back to the cut torture scene. * Kirk's death scene was as follows: Kirk and Picard arrive back from the Nexus. On the bridge over the canyon, we see Soran, then (from the feet up) Kirk. Soran turns around to see Picard. Kirk and Soran fight and with a tremendous punch Kirk knocks him over the railing to the rocks below. Kirk and Picard run to turn off the missle and everything's great, congratulations all around ... ZAAAAAP! A half dead Soran shoots Kirk in the back and each of them dies. This ending was NOT acceptable to the majority so the scene had to be re-shot to what we see in the present version. Did You Know... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * The original script included all the major characters from the original Star Trek to be in the opening sequences. Nimoy (Spock) had read the script and didn't care for it. Since he only had a couple lines of dialog he proposed to Paramount that he would be in the movie only if he could direct it; otherwise it wouldn't be worth his while. Paramount said NO. * Since Spock wouldn't be in the movie DeForest Kelly said it wouldn't make sense to have `the entire crew there and not have Spock.' Since he suffers from extreme arthritis and the fact that Spock would not be in the movie, it would be too painful for him to be in the movie. As we know, the only characters to appear were Chekov, Scotty, and Kirk. * Whoopi Goldberg was not going to do the movie at first; this was according to her agent. Paramount phoned up, asked if she would do it for $xx and were told straight out `No way, she's worth $$$$, forget it.' Well, when Whoopi heard about this and was talking with Paramount she basically said `What? Screw him, I'm DOING the movie!' Her basic motivation for this was that in the original script Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) was in there. She was sort of an inspiration/role model for Whoopi when she was growing up. When she came to realize later on that Uhura was NOT EVEN ASKED to be in the movie, she was extremely upset to say the least. It was a dream of hers to actually act with Nichelle; the original script called for Uhura to be the one to comfort Guinan after she was `rescued' from the Nexus. * A 24 foot model of the saucer section was pulled by a pickup truck across the ground and slammed into a sand-bank for the crash scene. * The horses that we see Picard and Kirk on are actually Shatner's! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Star Trek: First Contact Released: November 22, 1996 (33 years after Kennedy's assasination) Cast Listing Patrick Stewart - Capt.
