TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

On account of budgetary restrictions, the crew of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) was never quite satisfied with the Borg sets and costumes as used during the series. However, the significantly bigger budget for this film finally allowed them to design the Borg in a way that was much closer to what they had intended. As a result, the suits and sets were reused extensively on Star Trek: Voyager (1995).

Although his name is never given in this film, according to "Star Trek" canon, the Vulcan who salutes Zefram Cochrane is named Solkar. As mentioned in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984), Solkar is the grand father of Sarek, and subsequently the great-grandfather of Spock.

The Borg Queen was created because the writers were having difficulty in writing dialogue for what was intended to be the Borg's central computer.

Whoopi Goldberg was not asked to return as Guinan, a character with a long standing enmity with the Borg as shown in previous Trek projects. She only learned about the decision through the newspapers. She said "What can I say? I wanted to do it because I didn't think you could do anything about the Borg without my character, but apparently you can, so they don't need me."

When the Vulcans land on Earth and make first contact, Cochrane is unable to return the Vulcan salute. This is a reference to an old joke about Star Trek (1966). Many fans and quite a few actors throughout the "Star Trek" franchise cannot separate their fingers the right way. The most notable actor who cannot do this is William Shatner (Captain James T. Kirk). Mike Johansen can do the salute but only with his left hand, even though he is right-handed. Zachary Quinto had to have his fingers glued together to perform the salute to Leonard Nimoy in Star Trek (2009).

Popular Dialogues

"Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [Quoting "Moby Dick"] And he piled upon the whale's white hump, the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart upon it. Lily Sloane: What? Captain Jean-Luc Picard: "Moby-Dick". Lily Sloane: Actually, I never read it. Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Ahab spent years hunting the white whale that crippled him, a quest for vengeance, but in the end, it destroyed him and his ship. Lily Sloane: I guess he didn't know when to quit."

"Lieutenant Commander Data: Captain, I believe I am feeling... anxiety. It is an intriguing sensation. A most distracting... Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Data, I'm sure it's a fascinating experience, but perhaps you should deactivate your emotion chip for now. Lieutenant Commander Data: Good idea, sir. [beep] Lieutenant Commander Data: Done. Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Data, there are times that I envy you."
