Or infrequent as the case may be.
Updated 9/22/98
Interesting tidbits:
1. The 'duranium' canisters used in the scene with the malfunctioning transporter (Hollow Pursuits)in Transporter Rm 3, are really U.S. Navy sonar buoy transport cases.
2. The effects of the laser beam (Nth Degree) hitting Barclay's head, were done live. The use of lasers and mirrors in the scene allowed for camera movement.
3. The original draft of the script (Genesis) was going to ultimately turn the entire crew into identical copies of Barclay, but that idea was deemed too extreme. Also this episode was in production when the devastating 1994 earthquake hit Northridge California, causing 2 days delay in filming.
