Susannah Thompson went on to several appearances in both DS9 and Voyager, most notably as one of two actresses to play the Borg Queen, starting with the Voyager two-parter, "Dark Frontier." (edit) Ken "aka" Kenneth Marshall later played Michael Eddington, Captain Sisko's rival on DS9. (edit)

Geordi: What's eating you?
Ro Laren: (hesitates) I was raised with Bajoran beliefs, including the Pagh'ra's, the belief in our immortal spirits. But when I grew up, I dismissed them all as nonsense. Now, even though what happened to us turned out to be completely scientific, I still thought about how wrong I was to just turn my back on everything I was taught. How could I have been so arrogant? Now I don't know what to believe.
Geordi: Well... maybe we should build our own interphase device. If it can teach Ro Laren humility, it can do anything. (edit) Geordi: But... my uniform... my visor. Are you saying I'm some sort of blind ghost with clothes?
Ro: I don't have all the answers! I've never been dead before! (edit)

When Ro and Geordi are talking at the end, just after Ro says, "Now I don't know what to believe," an insect flies in from behind her right side and flies out of view on the left side of the screen. It then reenters the screen and circles in front of Ro before the shot changes. (edit) When the phased Romulan gets off the chair, it rocks back and forth. (edit) The large instrument being played by the band at Geordi & Ro's funeral is an Euphonium, yet the music we hear has a Tuba playing as the low instrument, not an Euphonium. Euphoniums are rarely used in an ensemble like that one. (edit) The Romulan manning the manual control to eject the warp corp says "Five seconds until warp core implosion". Riker waits roughly two seconds before telling him to eject it. It's well over ten seconds before he tells the Enterprise to extend their shields. (edit) Once alerted that the warp core on the Romulan ship may implode, Picard orders the officer at the conn to move away from the ship and prepare to go to Warp 1 at any sign of an implosion. Yet Riker casually says the Enterprise can extend her shields to protect both ships from the ejected core's implosion, and then they actually do so. If the Enterprise's shields can withstand a warp core implosion at close range, while extended greatly (the ship moved further away from the Romulan ship), why'd Picard bother with this command? (edit)
