This was the last episode of Star
Trek to air in the 1990s.
The photo of Tom Paris on Admiral
Paris' desk is actually a shot of Robert Duncan McNeill as
Nicholas Locarno from TNG: "The First Duty". Interestingly, it
is initially a reversed shot of him (showing the com badge on
the wrong side) but during a close up, the image is still
reversed but the comm badge has been moved to the other side.
This episode makes mention of all
three of the live-action Star Trek spinoffs that existed at the
time: Troi mentions the Enterprise being in orbit, Barclay
mentions receiving information from Deep Space 9, and Pathfinder
tries to contact Voyager.
The episode's trailer splices
together bits of dialog to make it seem like Counselor Troi says
"I've decided to ask Captain Picard for help."
