Background

Stewart, Spiner and Taylor

Jeri Taylor with Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner on the set of "All Good Things..."

  • This season was broadcast concurrent with Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 2.
  • This season earned Star Trek: The Next Generation an Emmy Award nomination for "Outstanding Drama Series", the first (and only) time a syndicated series earned that distinction.
  • While Michael Piller continued to be credited as Executive Producer, he chose to focus on DS9 more, and so Jeri Taylor took over as showrunner for the final season of the series. One of her first decisions was to put an end to the open-submission process that Piller had put in place for scripts, and focus the writing around a core team of regular staff, with freelancers occasionally invited to make submissions.
  • Ronald D. Moore has admitted he was less than satisfied with this season. In an interview about Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in SFX magazine #55 (published in 1999 and reprinted in 2006) he says "Next Generation, I think, overstayed its welcome. The last season of that show is kind of rough. To be honest, there are chunks of it I haven't watched myself. The show just didn't know what it was trying to do in the last year".
  • Moore said a similar thing in 1998, "I wish we could've had a more coherent idea of what we wanted to accomplish in TNG's last year. Too much of it was random story-telling without a sense of bringing the show to a conclusion" (AOL chat, 1998).
  • This season marks the switch from ALL CAPS to Small Caps in the actor names of the main title.
  • Characters which crossover from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine include: Evek (in "Journey's End" and "Preemptive Strike"), Quark (in "Firstborn"), and Miles O'Brien (in "All Good Things...").
  • Production of the seventh Star Trek movie, Star Trek Generations (the first one starring the Next Generation cast) began simultaneously with the last season of the series. Filming for the TNG main cast on the film began only ten days after principal photography was completed on the series finale, "All Good Things...".
