>ABOUT
Responding to an order from Starfleet to rendezvous with a Ferengi vessel, Picard discovers his former ship, the USS Stargazer, while a revengeful Ferengi Daimon is out to settle a deadly score with the Captain.

>TRIVIA

  • It is revealed in this episode that in the Star Trek universe, it is very uncommon for a human to have a headache and it is revealed that humans do not suffer from the common cold because the brain has been charted and doctors understand the nature of pain.
  • Frank Corsentino (Daimon Bok) did not reprise his role as Daimon Bok in the Season 7 episode "Bloodlines" and as a result, Lee Arenberg reprised the role. Furthermore, Corsentino has played three different Ferengi characters in Star Trek- the first being Daimon Bok in this episode, the second being Daimon Tog in the Season 3 episode "Menage a Troi", and the third being Gegis in the ST: Voyager episode "Inside Man".
  • The bridge used for the Stargazer is a redress of the Enterprise's battle bridge.
  • The special effect of the Enterprise towing the USS Stargazer with a tractor beam will be later reused in the Season 2 episode "Peak Performance".
