Trivia

The compound interiors were a narrow three-wall set multiplied optically, along with the Borg extras. They were left standing in the hiatus between seasons, but the caverns were built for Pt 2. See more »

Goofs

Immediately after Picard, Geordi, and Troi are captured, Data is seen removing their Starfleet Comm Badges, presumingly to prevent them from being tracked and contacted by other crew members. However, Data does not remove his own Starfleet badge; isn't he running the risk of being tracked & located by the search teams by not doing this? See more »

Interesting note - Main contain information about a prior episode that could be considered a spoiler.
29 August 2008 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

In season 6, Dr Crusher tries to help a murdered Ferengi scientist prove that a shield technology works. In that episode, a rival scientist hi-jacks a shuttle that has the modified shields and Dr Crusher on-board. This scientist, Dr. Jo'Brill, is played by James Horan. In this episode of Decent, James Horan plays a Lt. Barnaby in which the metophasic shields are mentioned and used to protect the Enterprise.

The shielding is used to enter the suns corona to escape a borg ship that is chasing them thru an uncharted part of the galaxy, while the crew of the ship is stranded on a planet, looking for Lt. Cmdr. Data.
