Trivia
First appearance of Dwight Schultz as Reginald Barclay, who'd originally been intended to be a one-time character to get sent to a mental hospital over his holodeck addiction.

Goofs
In the meeting with LaForge's senior officers, Wesley suggests to Lt. Barclay that he should check the flow capacitor on his malfunctioning anti-gravity device. In the next scene, Barclay tells Troi that he already knew about the "flux capacitor." (The flux capacitor is the famous fictional device from Back to the Future (1985) that makes time travel possible.)
