Trivia
At the 50th anniversary "Star Trek" convention in Las Vegas in August 2016, fans voted this the fifth best episode of the "Star Trek" franchise.

Goofs
Captain Picard is stunned to hear that children should be on the Enterprise. But Wesley is still part of the crew in the alternate time line, although he was only on the Enterprise as a family member to begin with. In the altered time line, Wesley is on the ship as an officer, wearing a full Ensign's uniform in Command red, rather than his Acting Ensign's "uniform" as seen in the unchanged time line. He would be too young to hold this rank in the unchanged time line, but, in desperate wartime, age requirements can plummet.

Quotes

What might have been

Emerging from a dogfight 22 years earlier in a time rift is the previous Enterprise whose captain is Tricia O'Neill. Only problem is that the Enterprise then was destroyed and all hands lost.

Only the ancient and wise Whoopi Goldberg as Guinan knows there is something wrong. We know it too because former series regular Denise Crosby as Tasha Yar is on the bridge in her old job as security chief. And she gets a bit of romance from Christopher McDonald a junior officer on the previous Enterprise.

All the Star Trek franchise shows have a time paradox or three among their episodes, this is one of the best. McDonald and Crosby make a nice pair of ill fated lovers whose romance was never meant to be.

One of the better TNG episodes out there.
