Trivia
When asked in 1997 what he would have done differently on ST:TNG, Ronald D. Moore said he wouldn't have written Aquiel.

Goofs
Consistently throughout the show's 7 seasons, when approaching abandoned ships or stations, one of the first things the Enterprise crew does (even before boarding them) is scan them for life signs. They appear not to have done so here, since when they hear (what Geordi thinks is) a loose panel, there is no urgency to their finding the cause of the noise, which they would have known if they had scanned for life signs and found one still aboard the station.

Quotes
[Aquiel's dog has chewed up La Forge's shoes]
Lt. Aquiel Uhnari: Maura, shame on you! That's not like you. What a naughty dog!
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: It's all right, don't worry about it. At least she's chewing them up in pairs.

A great episode of TV

Oncr again I have to step in and defend Geordie Laforge against some stupid reviews, who are you people to call him a weirdos or creepy ? Are you so fragile and insecure ? Once again Laforge did nothing wrong, he only fall in love, you have to see Laforge as a romantic man, at least thats the way star trek writers wrote his character. I dont see whats wrong in his attitude right here , he was the only defensor for this poor innocent, Laforge was the better man in this episode. 8.5/10.
