Storyline

- TriviaWax from a blue candle was used to represent the dilithium pieces.
- GoofsST:TNG Technical Manual says that antimatter cannot be beamed through a transporter without making extensive modifications to the circuitry. Yet Wesley took no such precautions, and was still able to beam it safely. On the other hand, Wesley is a total genius and his project could have involved the creation of a means for containing antimatter that can be beamed. For the story to work, that would be exactly what happened.

Featured review
Look for a young Secret Service agent-to-be
Agent Aaron Pierce (television series, "24", actor, Glenn Morshower) appears, interestingly enough, as an interim security officer/chief.
I recognized him almost instantly, even if his red hair was a bit of a giveaway. But also, his character's demeanor is very similar to his role on 24. It doesn't hurt that I watched this episode on a Tuesday, after just seeing an episode of 24 the night before.
Also interesting is that he, at the time 30 years old, plays an impatient young ensign (though some trivia will note he is mistakenly addressed "Lieutenant" by Capt. Picard at one point), while on the series 24, he plays a wise, intuitive, and (apparently) experienced Secret Service agent at the ripe old age of 40.
IMDb lists him appearing in another episode of ST:TNG, so I'll look forward to spotting him in that...
