No must-see TNG list is complete without The Inner Light, but that's probably best for later, after she's comfortable with the characters.

Slightly off topic, but there was a whole lotta pinball at this place. Most i've seen all at once in quite a long time.

Nobody has been cast yet because the show is simply too dangerous. Live explosives and frayed electrical wires laying around and puddles of water and high powered lasers and enormous Tesla coils and circular saws and trap doors.

It's not up to SAG snuff and it never will be.

Fuller & Co. wanted more practical effects for the show, so they made sure that the consoles were filled to the brim with actual molten slag and rocks.

It's like goddamn Chinese New Year on the set of this show, allegedly. One stagehand already fell through a trap door on the bridge into a pit of boa constrictors and albino pythons.
