Star Trek: The Next Generation - 03x13 D�j� Q

Summary: Stardate 43539.1 The Enterprise moves in to assist Bre'el IV, as their planet's satellite's orbit has decayed exponentially, sending it on a collision course with the planet. Just as the Enterprise begins the operation to attempt to move the satellite away from the planet, an intense ringing is heard throughout the ship. It is just then that a very undignified Q makes another appearance aboard Picard's ship.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: The Enterprise was hovering about the moon, trying to keep it from drifting into that planet. Yet, in scenes when Q was talking with the Captain, you could see stars going past as if their vessel were moving.
SYNC: When Riker orders Worf to call any other Federation ships for assistance, Worf mouth moves as if he says, "Aye, sir," but no sound is heard.

TRIVIA

After several unsuccessful attempts by the director to film Q's nude scene without forcing the actor to actually be naked, a frustrated John de Lancie finally asked anyone offended by nudity to leave, stripped down, and filmed the scene in one take.
The title is based upon the phrase Déjà vu, the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously.
John de Lancie actually filmed his nude scene standing upright in front of a blue screen. His horizontal position was a special effect created in post-production, with Captain Picard positioned strategically in front of him.
