    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Originally, the Romulans were to appear as Bajor's aggressors/occupiers. Rick Berman felt the Romulans were being overused and, inspired by their recent introduction in The Wounded (1991), suggested the Cardassians instead.
    • Goofs
      The 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?
