Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Executive producers Michael Piller and Rick Berman had at first not wanted to end Season 5 with a cliffhanger. But they changed they're minds when Deep Space Nine went into production at this point. Piller remarked: "Because of all the attention DS9 was getting and the rumours that TNG was shutting down, we wanted to send a message that the show was alive, well and continuing to grow." more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the episode Time's Arrow: Part 1, Data & Picard are examining artifacts in the cave when first arriving on earth. Picard picks up a Colt revolver which Data incorrectly identifies as a Colt "double action" revolver when it is in fact a Colt "single action" revolver. more
Quotes:
Lt. Commander Data: It seems clear that my life is to end in the late 19th century.
Commander William T. Riker: Not if we can help it.
Lt. Commander Data: There is no way anyone can prevent it, sir. In some future, Data will be transported back to 19th-century Earth, where I will die. It has occurred - it will occur.

ST:TNG:126 - "Time's Arrow, Part I" (Stardate: 45959.1) - this is the 26th and last episode of the 5th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

In this beginning part of a 2 part caper, The Enterprise is recalled to Sector 001 again (aka, the planet Earth), because archaeologists discovered evidence that aliens were inhabiting the planet 500 years before (in the 1890s) - the evidence being triolic waves and Data's head (which they deduce it really is his and not Lore's)! The mystery depends when the waves are traced to Devidia II. There, they encounter what seems like human life forms that are a fraction of a second out of phase.

Then, Data is transported via the Devidian's time distortion portal to 1890s San Francisco, where he (as a Frenchmen, and getting money through poker) meets Mark Twain, and more incredibly, Guinan (played by Whoopi Goldberg)!

Trivia note: Data speaks French! And Worf says a rare "Beam me up".
