Originally, it was considered that the so far unseen Captain's Yacht would finally be seen in this episode. Budgetary considerations made that impossible, so Picard was given an "executive shuttle" instead. <P>What was "executive" about it? Not much. The shuttle forward cabin had already been created for "Coming of Age", and the aft cabin added for "Unnatural Selection" in the second season. Picard's shuttle (Type 7, NCC-1701-D/01, Sakharov) had a replicator added in the aft cabin, but the nice couches on the sides were already there in "Unnatural Selection" and the immediately preceding "Q Who?".<P>The 1701-D/01 had been seen in "Unnatural Selection" already, in "non-executive" use. Perhaps the "executive" interior was modular? Or perhaps Picard simply loaned his plush ride for use as a quarantine facility since it would be the one where a long quarantine would be spent most comfortably?<P>Timo Saloniemi <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Aban Rune</b> <br /><small>Member # 226</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2000,2,13,8,15,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">March 13, 2000</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:15 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I don't think the term "executive" means that is Captain's use only.
