First and only episode where crew names (first initial and last name, except for T'Pol) appear in their uniforms.
Brannon Braga has subsequently admitted in interviews that turning the series finale into a celebration of the Star Trek franchise as a whole was a mistake.
In response to fan criticisms, series producer Manny Coto stated that he personally considered this episode to be a coda rather than the true finale of the series. Both he and fellow series producer Mike Sussman consider the two-part story Demons (2005) and Terra Prime (2005) that precede this installment to be the actual finale of the Enterprise story line.
The scene in Ten Forward of the Enterprise-D is taken from Ménage à Troi (1990). Lwaxana Troi is substituted by William T. Riker in this scene, which is why he can be seen twice. If you look carefully, you can briefly see Captain Picard.
The logo patch worn on the right shoulder for the finale episode has 18 white stars around edge. These are in tribute to the 18 real-life astronauts that lost their lives during their missions.
