Trivia / Star Trek The Next Generation S 7 E 2 Liaisons

• Creator Backlash: Director Cliff Bole was disappointed with the episode, citing the constant rewrites as the cause.
• Deleted Scene: The Iyaaran ambassador Byleth visits Lieutenant Worf in his quarters, telling him that he is late. Worf checks and finds that it is 0500 hours. Byleth states that he told him that he wanted to meet at this time to tour the arboretum and biolabs. Worf replies that he does not recall this and Byleth asks if he is calling him a liar. Worf replies that he simply does not remember the conversation. Byleth states that he will have to add this to his list of Worf's inadequacies, then tells Worf to get dressed and meet in the arboretum. Worf sighs in exasperation.
• What Could Have Been: The first draft included a subplot where Troi earned the rank of Commander, but Jeri Taylor didn't think it fit. It was later put in "Thine Own Self".
• Working Title: "The Journey".
