- TriviaThe menu at the Café des Artistes includes such delicacies as "Croissants D'ilithium", "Klingon Targ a la mode," "Tribbles dans les blankettes," and "L'Antimatter Flambé."
- GoofsWhen Data puts the antimatter in the stream, he asks for a 27 second count down. Data has an internal chronometer and is notorious for giving arrival times down to the second. He is also capable of handling multiple calculations and thoughts at the same time without distraction. Why would he need an external audio countdown? Data requested the external audio countdown before the time distortion occurred because he knew that, when it occurred, there would be more than one of him and then could link his chronometer with the correct dimension.

Jenice Manheim: I've thought a lot about this over the years, and perhaps you're leaving out your greatest fear - the real reason you left.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Which was?
Jenice Manheim: That... life with me would have somehow made you... ordinary.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [ponders this, then laughs embarrassed] You're wonderful. And am I that transparent?
Jenice Manheim: Only to me.

Featured review
Picard Chooses the Enterprise
This is an excellent episode, addressing unrequited love and the fabric of space. An old friend and super scientist invokes his old friend's good nature to try to repair the results of experimentation in time. Because of this rift, a series of events take place where things become sort of stacked. This also brings in the character of a beautiful woman that Picard loved back in the day. As with Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca, she chose the great man, the man going places, even if she didn't love him. Because things are able to be repeated, Picard is given a second chance. He can let his friend die and get the girl or try to solve the problem. There are some wonderful scenes where events test the quick thinking of the crew as reality and time are chopped up. We get to see the lonely captain, wanting something so bad, an opportunity one never gets. We are also again able to see Beverly's true feelings for Jean-Luc. Of course, some believe that Picard's arbitrariness led to the doctor's husband losing his life. A very good episode with lots of implications.
