Appendices

Background information

Alfonse Pacelli was played by a background actor with the last name Arratia who received no credit for his appearances but was identified by the fifth season call sheets.

An okudagram readout of Pacelli's personnel file was displayed on a viewscreen that Deanna Troi was studying. Some of the facts could be called into question since she was involved in a very detailed hallucination when the data was shown.
