Trivia
The corridor, engineering, transporter room, and battle bridge sets were derived from sets originally built for the first four Star Trek movies. A majority of the sets also served as different locations on the Enterprise-A in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991).

The decision to produce this series for syndication rather than for a network was considered a gamble at the time. It was the most expensive project of its kind ever attempted, but it did so well it ended up opening the door for a tidal wave of made-for-syndication dramatic series (including Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (1995), Xena: Warrior Princess (1995), Andromeda (2000), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993), and Baywatch (1989)), which continued for more than a decade. Had the show failed, Paramount would have just added the segments to the Star Trek (1966): The Original Series syndication package, just as they did with the remastered pilot "Star Trek" (1966) {The Cage (#1.0)}_.

Goofs
It is claimed that Data can't use contractions (Can't, Isn't, Don't, etc) yet there are several instances throughout the series where he does. One of the first such examples is heard in Star Trek: The Next Generation: Encounter at Farpoint, where Data uses the word "Can't" while the Enterprise is being chased by Q's "ship".

Throughout the series you can often hear the actress (Majel Barrett) who performs the voice of the computer taking breaths between lines. Obviously a human actress would have to do this, but a computer with an electronically generated voice would not, as it wouldn't breathe.

Many times throughout the series, a stage light will be reflecting its light off a window, door, glass panel, etc.

Q
What political and military events have occured in the universe since The Original Series?
A
- The state of war with the Klingons was effectively ended in 2293 by the Kithomer Accord, as seen in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. An uneasy peace with the Federation remains, as there were still frequent skirmishes with the Klingons over time. The Klingon Empire remained an independent government outside of the Federation.- Around 2300, the cooperation that existed between Klingons and Romulans since the 23rd century started to gradually degrade, perhaps fueled by the weakened state of the Klingons following the Praxis Incident, and their subsequent willingness to reconcile with the Federation.- An event known as the Tomed incident occurred in 2311. Although details were never provided, known facts suggest that it concerned a violation of the Romulan Neutral Zone, involvement of cloaked ships, and the death of thousands of lives, both Romulan and Federation. It led to the Treaty of Algeron, which reaffirmed the Neutral Zone as a no-fly zone and prohibited the Federation from developing cloaked vessels. The treaty also ceased virtually all dialogue between the Romulans and the Federation for the next 50 years.- In 2344, the Romulans attacked a Klingon outpost on Narendra III. It is unknown what sparked the incident, but the intervention of the Enterprise-C, a Federation vessel, despite being destroyed in the battle, was perceived as particularly honourable by the Klingons. As a result, relations with the Klingons improved drastically. About two years later, Romulans attacked the Klingon outpost at Kithomer (possibly over a territorial dispute) and killed nearly all inhabitants, leading to the start of the Romulan-Klingon war around the 2350s.- In 2363, the Enterprise-D was launched.- In 2364, Jean-Luc Picard assumed command of the Enterprise-D and a continuing mission of space exploration is started.
