Storyline

Trivia
Prior to filming, LeVar Burton had surgery and his scenes were carefully filmed after the majority of production was concluded; this is why he only appears in close-ups and not in shots with any of the other main characters. Most of Geordi LaForge's lines were given to Colm Meaney's Mr. O'Brien.

Goofs
The Borg ship is shown approaching Saturn from the side of the planet illuminated by the sun. This would mean the Borg are actually moving away from Earth rather than toward it.

Quotes
Guinan: Did he ever tell you why we're so close?
Captain William T. Riker: No.
Guinan: Oh... Then let me just say that... our relationship is beyond friendship, beyond family. And I *will* let him go. And you must do the same. There can only be one Captain.
Captain William T. Riker: It's not that simple. This was his crew. He wrote the book on this ship.
Guinan: If the Borg know everything he knows, it's time to throw that book away. You *must* let him go, Riker. It's the only way to beat him. The only way to save him.

Alternate versions
In a 2013 Blu-ray release, this episode and the previous, The Best of Both Worlds (1990), were edited together into one, feature-length movie. This version is 86 minutes long and was re-released as part of the 2019 Star Trek: Picard Movie & TV Collection Blu-ray release.
