Random Trivia For This Title:

• Tim Russ was a candidate for the role of Geordi.
• The Master Alarm sound was reused from the original [Star Trek] series.
• The corridor, engineering, transporter room, and battle bridge sets were derived from sets originally built for the first four Star Trek movies. A majority of the sets also served as different locations on the Enterprise-A in the fifth and sixth [Star Trek] films.
• Along with other humorous readouts, the table in Engineering has an item labeled "Infinte Improbability Generator" in a reference to the propulsion system aboard the Heart of Gold in Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
• The ceiling of the transporter chamber on the Enterprise D is in fact the floor of the transporter chamber from the Enterprise in the [original] series.
• Jonathan Frakes's character William Riker is the only one to appear in [all four] [Star Trek] [live spin-off] [series].
• The original version of the Starfleet uniform was very uncomfortable for the actors, leading to a change of design from one-piece to a two-piece outfit in [Season Three]. Although the new uniforms were easier to wear, the jackets had a tendency to "ride up" when the actors were sitting down. Patrick Stewart got into the habit of straightening his jacket with a sharp downward tug as he stood up, an action that became known among the cast and crew as "The Picard Maneuver" (from a tactical maneuver mentioned in the show).
• The only characters to appear in all three [Star Trek] series based in the 24th Century ([Star Trek: The Next Generation], [Star Trek: Deep Space Nine] and [Star Trek: Voyager]) are Quark, Q, Riker and Gul Evek.
• Denise Crosby was originally cast as Troi, and Marina Sirtis was originally cast as Yar. Prior to filming the two exchanged roles.
