Star Trek The Next Generation Season Five

Remember in the episode 'The First Duty' I compared exterior shots of the Academy with each other? Well the location shot here was taken from the same height and angle and the sun appears to be in the same position in the sky. More out-takes, may we suppose? (This scene also pops up in the Omnipedea, in the section on Kirk's history, if I recall).

Data shows surprise twice in this episode, once when he sees his own head and the second time when Guinan suggests that the Enterprise is a clipper ship. I suppose that when he perks up upon hearing of the poker game we could suggest that he is merely interested.

Incidentally, in this show we learn that Lore has a type 'L' phase discriminating amplifier, while Data has a type 'R'.

Data seems positive that he will "die" as it has already happened. I remember the episode called 'Yesterday's Enterprise', and I am not so sure.

While we are seated in Ten-Forward, we seem to be flying directly into the stars, as opposed to having them fly from side to side. Are we flying sideways here?

Troi says to Riker that the Data situation is having an "unusually traumatic" effect on everyone. More Starfleet English there, I'm afraid.

Notice that once again when Data works at the rear console a seat is found for him? Perhaps they're all worried that they're going to lose him and are trying to mother him a little. Strange.
