Random Trivia For This Title:

Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Marina Sirtis and Colm Meaney are the only actors to appear in all seven seasons.
{The Game} was the first episode to air following Gene Roddenberry's death.
Patrick Stewart and Jonathan Frakes are the only actors to appear in every episode of the series.
VISOR stands for "Visual Instrument and Sensory Organ Replacement".
Throughout the first two Star Trek crews (including the movies), Picard and Data are the only two characters never to receive a promotion. However, in at least two "alternate futures", they were both promoted - the episodes [{Future Imperfect}] (Data is a full Commander, Picard is an admiral) and [{All Good Things}] (Picard, though retired, is referred to as an ambassador).
In the episode, {Cause and Effect}, the Enterprise encounters a ship called the U.S.S. Bozeman. Brannon Braga, one of the writers on the show was raised in the town of Bozeman, Montana.
In this series, the uniforms worn by Romulan military officers have a variety of patterns and colors on them. These do not appear to have anything to do with the Romulan's position or rank; a popular fan theory is that Romulan uniforms are patterned according to family or clan affiliation.
Because of guest star Leonard Nimoy's schedule, part two of the two-part episode "Unification" was filmed before part one
