In-Jokes
~~~~~~~~
"Unknown" - In this episode, Doctor Crusher prescribes the active ingredient
for SuperGlue.

"Unknown" - In this episode, Daled 4 is a planet's name. Daled is the fourth
letter in the Hebrew alphabet, and has the numeric value of four. (UV)

"The Naked Now" - During the scan of records, we see a parrot wearing a
Starfleet shirt, complete with insignia, with nacelles, an obvious reference
to Gene Roddenberry. ("The Great Bird" = Gene) This same screen also reappears
in "Conspiracy".

"11001001" - The 11001001 is binary, and is converted to 201 decimal, or hex
C9. Under the Z-80 microprocessor series, the C9, in assembly language, is
known as "Unconditional Return."

"Conspiracy" - The topographical map of the planetary surface was a "very
shakey" drawing of Kei and Yuri. Yuri is on the right side, and Kei is upside
down.....

"The Neutral Zone" - On the family tree of Clare Raymond, which is recalled by
Troi, there are references to various shows, including: W. Hartnell m. P.
Troughton (DW), J. Pertwee m. T. Baker (DW), and P. Davison m. C. Baker (DW),
and J-L. Picard m. W. Riker. Other references include Gilligan's Island and
M*A*S*H.

"Loud As A Whisper" - (DP) The conference table, "made to resemble indigenous
rock", had various markings on them. Most notable to Lovely Angels/Dirty Pair
fans are the marking "Kei" and "Yuri".

"The Measure Of A Man" - When Riker is showing off Data's arm to the JAG
representative, there is a pad on her desk which lists Data's parts, including 
"Nausican Valve" and "Totoro Interface". Also, it is noted that part of Data's 
construction is made out of something called "Yurium". (DP)

"Contagion" - The Iconian artifact has various markings on it, including "Kei 
and Yuri" (DP), "Dirty Pair" (DP), "Gundam" and "Totoro." Also, the various 
views as seen through the portal include: Toronto's City Hall and Nathan 
Phillip's Square (depicting the arches over the reflecting pool/skating rink), 
and Toronto's City Council Chambers. Also, in this episode, the Romulan ship 
that attacked the Enterprise was named the "Harkonnen", which just happens to 
be the name of the family that attacked the Atriedes family in the Dune 
series. In this episode, another Galaxy Class Starship is mentioned. . . the 
Yamato. This was originally the flagship of the Japanese fleet that fought in 
World War II at both the Coral Sea and Midway before it was sunk by Torpedo 
Bombers from an American carrier. Many years later, a Japanese Animation
series was done up, in which a battleship is reconfigured to become a starship
in order to recover something called the "Cosmo DNA". This series was called
"Starship Yamato", however, this series was known in the United States as 
"Star Blazers".

"The Icarus Factor" - The TNG art department had a field day putting in 
in-jokes. The mat has the chinese character of "sei", or "star" (as in "starry 
sky". The two scrolls hanging on the walls say, in Japanese syllabic 
characters (hiragana), "urusei yatsura", a pun of "ususai yatsura" ("noisy 
neighbors" or "annoying neighbors", a Japanese animation. Also, while lunging
at Riker, Riker's father says (in a terrible accent), "youroshiku
onegaishimasu", literally saying "Please do me the favor of being kind to me", 
but has the meaning of the English phrase "Pleased to meet you." Various other 
markings include "Kei" (DP), "Yuri" (DP), "Akira", and "Tonari No Totoro". In 
addition, the scrolls hanging on the walls also say, "Ataru", "Lum", and 
"Uresai Yatsura".

"Samaritan Snare" - Picard mentions "Nausicaans" in a conversation with Wesley
on the shuttlecraft.

"Up The Long Ladder" - When Picard is looking at the list of ships trying to
find the Mariposa, another ship listed is the Buckaroo Banzai captained by 
John Whorfin and built by the company that the red Lectroids had made. The 
same company name was seen on the USS Hathaway (Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems 
(of Grover's Mill, NJ :-) )

"Hollow Pursuits" - The anti-grav units contain a flux capacitor. Nothing big,
until you consider that the flux capacitor was a essential part of the 
DeLorean/Time Machine in "Back To The Future".

"Menage a Troi" - The Ferengi Security code begins with "Kei Yuri" (DP).

"Transfigurations" - (DW) In the sick bay, against the wall, there is an
outline of the top portion of the TARDIS, upside down. Also, three roundals
can be seen against the wall. They show up again in several episodes after
this one.

"Legacy" - A label on a nuclear reactor says, "Remember, you can never add TOO 
MUCH water to a Nuclear Reactor."

"Qpid" - The scene where Worf smashes Geordi's lute, then says "Sorry" is 
completely reminiscent of a scene in Animal House at a toga party. Also, 
Princess Bride fans might want to note that the dialog during the sword fight 
with Picard/Robin Hood, where he says "There is something you should know . .
. . I'm not from Nottingham.", is reminiscent of a sword fight in the movie
where similar dialog is uttered.

"Half A Life" - One of the displays has the number "4077" in the corner, an 
reference to M*A*S*H.

"In Theory" - The line "Now would be a good time", spoken by Picard, is
completely reminiscent from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, which, in turn, was
used by Kirk during "The Doomsday Machine". Also, while it is not be visible
in the actual show, someone on the production crew re-labeled the shuttle pod
"PONTIAC NCC-1701-D".

"Darmok" - The writers were playing around with the words in this episode, 
with DARMOK, the letters reversed, becomes KOMRAD (comrade). JILARD also 
becomes JLpIcARD. Also, Gilgamesh is based upon Gilgamesh (from Sumerian
lore), a character described as a combination of Solomon, Ulysses, and
Hercules combined into one. One of the important factor's after his friend's
death is Gilgamesh's fear of death, although never playing a factor in battle,
results in his constant search for immortality, but, in one manner or another, 
comes very close, but always manages to miss.

"The Outcast" - Among the technical phrases used, "Reverse the polarity of the 
neutron flow" was a phrase commonly used by the third doctor (Jon Pertwee) 
during Doctor Who. (UV)

"The Next Phase" - One of the control panels on the Romulan Ship looks
somewhat like the TARDIS control console (DW). (V)

"Relics" - With Scotty on board, there are plenty of references to the old
series. For instance, the "miracle worker" bit comes from Star Trek III. The
"It is green" bit comes from TOS "By Any Other Name".

- Other in-jokes, albeit unseen, include: Shuttlecraft "Pontiac" and "Indiana
Jones" on operations board; crew quarters for Lt. Luke Skywalker;
Doctor Who (DW): A cult British Science Fiction series which ran on BBC1 from
November 23, 1963 to December, 1989. The title character is known only as "The
Doctor", a time lord who travels through time and space in a TARDIS (Time And
Relative Dimensions In Space). The TARDIS is bigger on the inside than on the 
outside, and can change outward appearance, however, the Doctor's TARDIS, 
being a broken down Type-40, is stuck in the shape of blue British Police Call 
Box. The Doctor himself can, at point of death, regenerate into a totally
different body and personality. The series can be seen on several PBS stations
and the USA/Sci-Fi Channel.

Lovely Angels/Dirty Pair (DP): A Japanese anime series where the two main
characters, "Kei" and "Yuri", are members of World Welfare Foundation. Their
job is to take care of problems that crop up. However, they usually leave the
place in worse shape then they arrived, and it's usually not their fault. The
series itself has had TOS in-jokes in it also.

Differences in "Encounter At Farpoint"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently, "Encounter At Farpoint" is being distributed in both a two-part
form and a two-hour movie form. The two-hour movie was shown as the first
episode of TNG, the repeat was shown as a two-part episode. Currently, the
stations that are showing TNG as a daily syndicated program have "Encounter At
Farpoint" as a two-part episode.

Unfortunately, the two-part episode is heavily butchered. Among the changes
from the two-hour movie version:

* The movie version starts out with the credits, the two-parter starts out
  with a teaser instead.

* In the movie version, Riker sees what happens in two sections.  In the 
  two-parter, the second section is cut out.

* The two-parter had the rejoining of the saucer section with the warp drive
  section being majorly edited.

* A section where Picard is talking to Dr. Crusher about Wesley is cut.

* A scene where Geordi talks to Dr. Crusher about his VISOR was moved to part
  two. It appeared in the first half of the movie version.

* Some of the audio was changed, and somewhat "sweetened" (Mike Brown term),
  in the two-part version.

To add additional confusion, Paramount has officially retired the two-hour
movie, and has made available for the videotape and laserdisc series an
unbutchered two-part episode of "Encounter At Farpoint."

Operation SNAFU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Opening Credits (1st & 2nd Season) - During the opening sequence, the graphics
are a departure from the Sol system, beginning with Earth with the sun in the
background, and featuring fly-bys of Jupiter and Saturn. During this sequence,
the camera pans right, and we see sunlight off the left side of Earth and
Jupiter, but the right side of Saturn, indicating that Saturn is backlit. (UV)

Opening Credits (From Third Season On) - During the opening sequence, at the
end of the planets, watch closely the starfields. The stars go in two
completely different directions.

"Code Of Honor" - While on the planet, watch Deanna's arms. In the group
shots, Deanna's arms are at her sides, while, in the close-ups, her arms are
behind her back. (UV)

"Datalore" - Upon beaming down to the planet's surface, Commander Riker gives
the stardate as 4124.5. A little later, Captain Picard gives it as 41242.45.
(V)

"Skin Of Evil" - When Riker is being pulled into Armus, the away team runs
towards Armus. However Geordi drops his phaser into Armus. In the next scene,
the away team is standing around calmly, and Geordi's phaser is back in his
pocket. (UV)

"Conspiracy" - At the beginning of the episode, while Picard is asleep, Riker
tells LaForge to increase speed to Warp 6. Laforge replies, "Aye Sir, full
impulse." Later on, in that same episode, Picard says "Mr. LaForge, ahead warp
six." Geordi responds with "Aye, sir, full impulse." (UV)

"Loud As A Whisper" - Data has learned sign language and is now interpreting 
what the mediator is saying. Data quotes the mediator as saying "My friends 
have died" or something like that, before it is even signed. (V)

"Measure of a Man" - In this episode, Data is shown bending a metal bar.  
However, the metal bar that Riker places on the JAG officer's desk is not bent 
in the same manner.

"The Royale" - The surface temperature of the planet is less than absolute
zero. Also, after they beam the piece of the ship out of orbit, O'Brien and 
Riker pick it up with their bare hands (coming from space, it should have been 
close to zero Kelvin itself). Plus, after beaming down, they then scan the 
atmosphere to see if it's safe to breathe. (V)

"Samaritan Snare" - Wesley opens a communications channel, and says that 
Shuttle #2 is ready for takeoff. However, in the following scene, when the
shuttle is seen powering up, there is a "01" on the outside of the shuttle.
Oops. (UV)

"The Enemy" - Picard says to Tomaluk that he will be escorting the Romulan
ship to the Neutral Zone. Yet, in the closing shot, the Enterprise and the
Romulan Ship take off in two different directions. (V)

"The Price" - When the Ferengi Daimon talks to picard about putting photon
torpedoes through the worm hole, he says, "Casualties of war, Captain", 
however, his mouth looks as if he is saying "Picard." (V)

"Yesterday's Enterprise" - At the end of the episode, Geordi talks with 
Guinan. However, he is wearing an open neck uniform. (V)

"Sins of the Father" - The sound effects people must have fallen asleep every
time someone got slapped. (V)

"Captain's Holiday" - In the scene where Picard orders a Code 14, we see him 
take his comm badge off his shirt and places it right next to the Tox Uthat, 
which promptly blows up. In the very next scene, when Picard is chatting away 
with Vash, we see the comm badge on Picard's shirt, as if he never removed it.  
(V)

"Sarek" - The music recital in this episode contained several errors. First, 
the quartet seating is towards the audience, not toward each other. Classical 
music was originally developed with the performers facing each other in order 
to get visual cues. The performing in front of the audience did not come about 
until much later. Second, the Allegro is by Brahm's, not Mozart. Thirdly, the 
Allegro is a sextet, not a quartet. (UV)

"Brothers" - The code which Data gives to lock the Enterprise computer system 
differs between the spoken version and the version displayed on the screen.  
(See "Security Codes") (V)

"Remember Me" - In the final act, when Wesley and the Traveler are entering 
the equations into the computer, watch Wesley's hand. He closes his eyes, and 
then places his hand on the case, about three inches below the entry pad.  
While he is making his entries, his hand starts moving up, while the sound 
effect people keep making the sounds in time. (V)

"Legacy" - During the card trick with Data, Riker's hand keeps on changing 
position during the trick when the camera switches. (UV)

"Reunion" - After K'Eyhlar dies, Alexander the child runs away, and Worf lets
out his primal scream, we see her body being lowered to the floor. As she is 
finally settled, her eyes flutter open and closed several times (as, 
presumably, the actress, Suzie Plakson, "gets her bearings"). Also notice that 
her head is facing towards her left. However, when her body is shown full-on 
from the perspective of her feet (as Worf tells Alexander to "look at death, 
and never forget"), her head is facing slightly towards her *RIGHT*, and 
remains that way for the rest of the scene (a prime example of a scene being 
shot in several takes with the continuity person being asleep on the job).  
(V) Also, Dr. Crusher and her aide comes from the bedroom, not from the 
corridor. (UV)

"Devil's Due" - In the TOS episode "Day of the Dove", Captain Kang explicitly
remarks that the Klingons have no devil. However, in "Devil's Due", Ardra uses
the guise of the Klingon devil, Fekhlar, a creature that consumes the souls of
cowards. (V)

"Clues" - Guinan has a cigarette in a holder, which changes length with each
camera cut...a common problem in any movie where smoking is portrayed.

"The Drumhead" - After the first hearing with J'Ddan, Worf and J'Ddan leave
the hearing room. The doors open, as they are walking though the doorway, the
doors start to close, but hesitate, open back up and then close after they
leave the doorway. Looks like someone pulled on the rope too soon :-) (V)
Also, Satie says that Captain Picard took command of the Enterprise at
Stardate 41162. This is in error . . . it was 41152. (V)

"Half A Life" - Near the end of the episode, when Lwaxana Troi is standing
next to the mirror and then begins to walk away from it, for a brief instant
the boom from the mic is visible in the reflection. (V)

"In Theory" - In the teaser, Data finishes telling Jenna the reasons why she 
broke up with Jeff. She and Data then close up the photon torpedo, and she 
moves off to a control panel. On top of the torpedo rests a black, hand-sized 
deviceamajig. Data stands up, holding some sensormajig in his left hand. The 
scene then shifts to Data walking towards Jenna, and the sensormajig is now in 
his RIGHT hand (with no indication that he ever shifted it there), and Jenna 
is holding the deviceamajig she left on top of the torpedo (with no indication 
that she ever went back to get it). (V)

"Redemption" - Guinan states that she has not seen Worf laugh, but his son has
laughed. Yet, in "Yesterday's Enterprise", Worf laughs sarcastic at an idea he
finds humorous. (UV)

"Redemption II" - In part one of this story, Worf said that he would be 
serving on the Bortas. Yet, in this episode, he is serving on the Hectar, with
no explanation about the transfer.
   Also, Picard says to Guinan that Yar died a year prior to Guinan joining
the crew. However, "Skin of Evil" was the fourth to last story of the season,
and Guinan is first seen in the second season premiere "The Child", suggesting
only 3-4 months between the two stories.
   Picard refers to the battle on Narendra III as taking place 24 years ago to
Sela, and 23 years ago to Guinan. (V) But, of course, Guinan senses time
differently......

"Ensign Ro" - When Ensign Ro takes off her jacket, her communicator is on her 
jacket. However, when she hands the jacket to the little girl, her
communicator jumps to her uniform, with no action of putting the communicator
there. (V)

"Silicon Avatar" - In the second act, look closely at the tricorder that Dr.
Marr holds during the conversation between Dr. Marr and Data. During the
conversation, she has her tricorder open. She then closes it, then reopens it,
but holds the tricorder UPSIDE DOWN!!!! (V)

"Disaster" - In the scene where Dr. Crusher and Geordi are evacuating all the 
air out of the cargo bay, Geordi hits the button that closes the cargo bay.  
The pushing of the button and resulting door closing are audibly heard, even 
though sound doesn't travel in a vacuum. (Probably dramatic reasons) Also, 
when the ship starts shaking, they cut to ten forward, where the stars are 
shaking right along with the ship. (V)

"The Game" - When the crew are forcing Wesley to play the game, and ???? is
holding his eyes open, Wesley blinks. (V)

"Unification I" - When Dr. Crusher is examining Data in order to prep him (and
Picard) to Romulus, she asks if Data's ears are detachable, to which Data says 
that they are not. Yet, in "Datalore", Data's brother, Lore, is clearly shown 
without ears. A design change?

"Unification II" - After Spock, Picard, and Data have knocked out the Romulan 
guards, and Spock has Sela at gunpoint, Picard has no gun in his hand. After a 
camera switch, Picard then holds a Romulan phaser "pistol". A minute later, 
after a scene with the Enterprise, Picard is still standing in the same place, 
but with a Romulan phaser "rifle". (UV) After Data gives Sela the famous 
"Spock Pinch", and when Picard, Data, and Spock leave the room, look at the 
glass pyramid in Sela's office. There is a reflection of a cameraman chewing 
gum. (V)

"New Ground" - Alexander states that he was born on stardate 42305. Unless the 
equivalent of 01000 stardate equals approximately one year, Alexander would be
only 2 and a half years old. Also, the creature which Riker saves from the lab
is obviously a hand puppet. (V)

"The Masterpiece Society" - Geordi states that his VISOR covered the range
from 1 Hertz to 1 Terahertz. While this covers radio, microwave, and far 
infrared frequencies, it does not cover near infrared, visible, ultraviolet, 
x-rays, or gamma rays.

"Conundrum" - While a record search is performed, Deanna's father was listed 
as "Alex". However, in "The Child", she named her child after Ian, her 
father's name. (V) When MacDuff is talking to Picard in Picard's ready room, 
when Picard goes to the window, all you see in the window is the reflection of 
Picard and the room behind him (not the stars outside), then, when you see 
MacDuff, in the reflection, leaving the room behind Picard, when the door 
opens, you don't see the reflection of the bridge, you see stars. Oops! (UV) 
After Rikers first love scene, a wide-angle-view-pan-to-closeup on the bridge 
can be seen at the very top of the screen, in the brightly lit area. (UV).
Shortly afterwards, in the same scene, MacDuff is walking around and up to the
tactical station from his chair, and we can see his legs walk next to Worfs. 
The camera cuts to Worf, and we see MacDuff approaching Worf. (UV)

"Ethics" - When the barrel falls on Worf, a second barrel also falls, and it's
lid pops off. However, when Geordi runs over to Worf, the lid is back on the 
barrel. (V)

"Cause and Effect" - The first time we see Picard in the Sickbay talking to 
Geordi and Dr. Crusher, he is wearing his standard uniform, and states he had 
a feeling of deja vu when he was reading. However, in the next loop, he is 
shown wearing his gray uniform while reading in his ready room, and when he's 
in Sickbay, he's also wearing his maroon jacket. (Also recall that in the 
first loop, when he is talking to Beverly, he is wearing the grey uniform.  
Thus, the sequence goes: grey -> standard -> grey). Presumably, both instances 
of this scene happen at the same "time", and since Picard's behaviour was not 
affected until Dr. Crusher contacted him, why is he wearing the standard 
uniform in one loop, and the gray uniform in the next loop? (V)

"Cost of Living" - In the turbolift where Picard and Data got trapped in due 
to the metal parasites, look closely: Picard, in this scene only, is wearing 
only three pips. (V) Also, Picard is told that the inertial dampers had 
failed, in which he orders the Enterprise out of warp. If the inertial dampers 
had failed, they would have been splattered all over the bridge. (V)

"I, Borg" - During the first time in the lab, Three of Five asks "Do I have a 
name?" "I" should not have been used, it should have been "we".

"The Next Phase" - One of things dropped in films is an explanation as to why 
Geordi and Ro are able to breathe or not be able to go through the floors.  
Oops. (V)

"Time's Arrow" - The paper which Data picks up is dated "Sunday, August 11, 
1893". Unfortunately, August 11, 1893 was a Friday. (V)

"Man Of The People" - There were several snafus which occurred, including....
* In Engineering, when Geordi and Beverly were checking out the
  Biofilter logs from the Dorian, Geordi had two hollow pips and one solid,
  instead of two solid and one hollow.
* When Riker and Troi walked out of Ten-Forward (the scene where Troi was
  wearing that revealing dress), they stepped right into a Turbolift. The
  sign on the lift's door said "08  Turbolift", indicating they were on Deck 8
  instead of Deck 10.
* Near the end, in Sickbay, when Beverly was reviving Deanna, Deanna's eyes
  fluttered open a couple of times, and then remained shut. (This is when she
  still looked old.) Although I couldn't make out an actual color, it was
  obviously that Marina didn't have her black contacts in.

"Schisms" - When Riker sits down at CONN when the ensign is having trouble 
navigating, when we see his hands over the console, it is the display for OPS.

"Rascals" - The computer display in the classroom clearly shows "Classroom
Seven" on the screen. Yet, when Picard meets Riker, he refers to Classroom 
Eight. (V) Also, when Keiko gets the Coffee, when she picks it up from the 
replicator, it's in her left hand, yet, in the next scene, it's in her right 
hand. (V) Also, amazingly, the clothings shrank almost perfectly, and Guinan's 
hat and Ro's headband is perfectly. (V)

"A Fistful Of Datas" - When Data is being connected to the computer, look at 
his neck. You can see where the gold makeup ended. (UV) Also, when the older 
"Data" talks to the younger "Data", and the older "Data" turns, his hand gets 
"cut off" due to the video wipe.

- Betazoid's and the Ferengi Mind: In "The Battle" and "The Price", Deanna's 
is able to sense deception from the Ferengi, and later, used against them.
Yet, in "Menage A Troi", the Betazoid Ambassador says that they are unable to
read Ferengi minds, a fact later confirmed in "The Loss". Data has suggested
that this is due to the Ferengi brain separated in four regions.

- In "Reunion," Gowron was prepared to offer K'Ehleyr a seat on the Klingon 
Council for her assistance in getting Picard to quicken the pace of the Rite
of Succession. However, in "Redemption," he states to Picard that females are
not allowed to serve on that Council. He really wanted that pace 
quickened......

Data Using Contractions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In "Datalore", Lore says that there are differences between him and Data,
among them, the ability of Lore being able to use contractions, while Data
couldn't. Yet, in "The Offspring", Data says that he hadn't quite mastered
contractions. It appears that Data can use contractions, as the following
shows indicate . . . . .

"Encounter At Farpoint" - At the beginning of the "post Atomic-horror"
courtroom, when Q enters, Data says, "At least we're acquainted with the
judge." (V) Also, when Data is asked by a very familiar "Admiral" if he is a
Vulcan, Data replies, "I'm an android." (V)

"The Naked Now" - Data says: "Correction, sir.. that's blown out." instead of
"that is".... Also, after Picard orders Yar to the sick bay, Yar asks "Did he
say when?", to which Data replies "I'm sure he meant now." (UV)

"The Last Outpost" - During the conversation with Sentry, Data clearly said
"I'm afraid not." (UV)

"Where No Man Has Gone Before" - After they shot out of the galaxy and were
looking at all the nice special effects outside Data said something like "It's
beautiful". (UV)

"Datalore" - In the teaser, in response to Tasha's query about holding the
memory of over 411 people, Data responds, "Actually, I'm quite efficient in
some basic human information." Then, in act one, on the way to the place where
he was found, in response to Tasha's query about the colonist's memories, Data
replies, "I've always felt that it was done hurriedly, but I know little
more." Next, in act two, in a conversation with Chief Argyle, Data says, "I've
been most anxious to hear the Chief Engineer's opinion, Mr. Argyle." Then, in 
the final act, after the fight with Lore, Picard asks Data if he's ok, in 
which Data replies, "Yes Sir, I'm fine." This is quite surprising, since this 
is one episode which they should have been extra careful about using 
contractions. (V)

"Heart of Glory" - (UV)

"Elementary, Dear Data" - When Data and Geordi are just about to confront
Moriarty for the first time, Data notices some scratches near Moriarty's
secret entrance and he asks, "What's this?" (UV)

"The Offspring" - In the Captain's quarters, after Picard answers Data's
question about Admiral Halftel having children, Data replies, "I'm forced to
wonder how much experience he had as a parent when his first child was born."
(V)

"Future Imperfect" - The future Data uses a contraction.

"In Theory" - When entering Jenna's quarters, Data recites several phrases 
with contractions, including "Honey, I'm Home" and "You don't tell me what to 
do! You're not my mother!" - a clear contradiction of the no-contraction rule.  
However, he was running a program in which he was simply reciting various 
phrases couples use, and he was saying them in a different tone of voice than
usual. (V)

                            ST:TNG Technical Manual

The "Star Trek: The Next Generation" Technical Manual (Pocket Books, ISBN
0-671-70427-3) is the complete technical guide to the Treknology used in TNG.
It is written by Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda, who work in TNG's Art
Department. Among their responsibilities include making sure that everything
is consistent in the technical department from show to show. However, they
have been known to clown around a little, and some of that clowning has shown
up in the technical manual. Such as:

11 - In the saucer section, right above the Captain's Yacht, there is a duck.  
A half inch to the left and a little bit down, there is a mouse. Slightly to 
the right of the mouse, there is a "Slippery When Wet" sign. In the shuttle
bay, there are three big shuttles, two small shuttles, and a Porsche. To the
right of the duck, about one inch, there is a DC-3 cargo aircraft, and, in
that same rectangle, there is a symbol of a woman and a child (the symbol for
Canada's "Family" rating for movies). Also, right under the warp pylons, there
is a registered trademark symbol.

Interestingly enough, if you look at the ship diagram in Engineering on the
show, those exact items show up.

120 - The tricorder display shows "TR580 TRICORDER VII", alledgely a reference
to the old Radio Shack TRS-80's.

The best "Star Trek: The Next Generation" program guide is put out by Mike
Brown. It contains everything one could possibly want from a Star Trek guide,
including:

* The credit/synopsis section. This section contains the complete credits
  listing for each episode, and at least a one page synopsis (written by Tim
  Lynch) to each and every ST:TNG episode
* The complete air schedule for ST:TNG, sorted a few ways for reference
* The complete cast listing, listed by both the actor's name and the various
  characters
* A reference to the writers and directors
* A list of all the other production credits, season by season
* The list of award nominations and award wins
* Reports from attendees of various conventions
* An index to the Starlog ST:TNG magazine articles
* Various articles culled from TV Guide and newspapers
* A list of the episodes released on video tape or laserdisc (US and UK)

If you are a serious trekker, this is the guide for you!

The guide only costs $40.00 (including shipping and handling), and comes ready
to be inserted into a loose-leaf notebook (binder is $5 extra). Updates are
also available. For more information and a sample page, please send a

                        Eugene Wesley "Gene" Roddenberry
                       August 19, 1921 - October 24, 1991

He created a legend which continues on today, creating a show that has helped
believe that there was a future worth living for. He showed us that space is
not just for space battles, but for learning new ideas and ways of thinking,
and, indirectly, has done more for civil rights and the space program than
Martin Luther King, Jr. and John F. Kennedy. Gene will be missed, but will not
be forgotten.
