    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The Mintakan tapestry that is given to Picard by Nuria and the villagers is seen on Captain Picard's chair in his quarters in many subsequent occasions on Star Trek: The Next Generation. After the Enterprise-D is destroyed in Star Trek: Generations (1994) Picard keeps the tapestry on the back of his chair in the ready room of the Enterprise-E, it can been seen in both Star Trek: First Contact (1996) and Star Trek: Insurrection (1998).
    • Goofs
      When Dr. Crusher contacts the Enterprise to beam up the injured Liko, the reply can be clearly heard as, "Yes, Captain" rather than "Yes, Doctor." This error has been corrected in the remastered release.
    • Quotes

      [Liko is about to shoot Picard to prove that the latter is a supernatural being]

      Captain Jean-Luc Picard: If you believe I am all-powerful, then you cannot hurt me. If, however, I am telling the truth, and I am mortal... you will kill me. But if the only proof you will believe is my death... then shoot.
