Production
- The Constellation-class starship first appears in the pilot episode of The Next Generation as a desktop model in Picard's ready room. Sternbach constructed the model by kitbashing Ertl kits of the movie Enterprise, using parts from other models such as the VF-1 Valkyrie to add detail. Jein used Sternbach's and Probert's designs to create the four-foot shooting model of the USS Stargazer for "The Battle". In the original script, the Stargazer would be a redress of the movie-era Constitution-class Enterprise model; Probert and Sternbach persuaded the producers not to reuse the movie Enterprise model, and the "Constellation"-class label was chosen so that it could match LeVar Burton's lip movement to redub dialogue.
- The term "Picard Maneuver" was later used to also refer to Patrick Stewart's habit of tugging his uniform shirt down.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
—Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
“Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
