TRIVIA

Before finding the holoprogram, Leah Brahms reviews an engineering log of modifications made to the ship by La Forge. The last entry on the list which is only seen very briefly is "Tonight on HBO".
First appearance of the Jefferies tubes as they would appear throughout the run of the series and on other star-ships of the 24th century.
Footage of the Alpha Omicron asteroid belt will later be reused for the Pelloris and Devolin asteroid fields.
An example of a "bottle episode" filmed entirely on existing sets.
The title has a double meaning: The USS Enterprise-D is a Galaxy-class ship and the creature thinks the Enterprise is its mother after being born when its real mother dies, so the creature is "Galaxy's child".
