Trivia
Dr Reyga is the first example of a sympathetic Ferengi--one who isn't motivated entirely by profit. This would later be explored further in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) with Rom and Nog (and to a lesser extent, Quark).

Goofs
As the shuttle equipped with the metaphasic shielding flies into the star's corona, the temperature rises to more than one million Kelvins. This may be incorrectly regarded as an error because the surface of a sun-like star is only around 6000 Kelvins. However, the corona, which is an aura of plasma that stretches out thousands of miles from the surface, is in fact much hotter than the surface. Our Sun's corona is well over 1,000,000 Kelvins in temperature.

Quotes
Guinan: You know, I've never been to a formal inquiry.
Doctor Beverly Crusher: Well, I'll see if I can arrange one for you. All you have to do is disobey orders, violate medical ethics and cause an interstellar incident.

Dr Crusher led episodes are bad and this is the 2nd worst

Nothing personal against the actress but she is NOT a good actor (I think that's the reason she's not in the movies too much) The fact she was fired and re-hired meant they gave her way too much screen time. This episode is badly written, badly acted and the script is total garbage.
