Observations in TNG: "The Survivors"

The matte painting of the ravaged surface of Delta Rana IV. The matte painting was modified and re-used a few years later when it depicted the similarly ravaged surface of Melona IV in "Silicon Avatar".

The painting of the house is faithful to the real building in Malibu Beach that was used for the location shots.

This shot of Data looks odd, as if it had not been filmed on location but rather on an interior set.

The two seams on the front of his uniform, which were only present in the season 3 uniform prototype, are very noticeable here.

This is music box is available from Reuge as "Dancing couple music box". Just don't expect it to play the tune from the episode!

A sompoton, a traditional music instrument from Borneo, is seen in the Uxbridge living room. According to Data, Rishon Uxbridge is a composer of Tao classical music, so this might be one of the instruments that she plays

Two tall sculptures are on display in the Uxbridge's garden, both have appeared before in several TNG episodes.

The sculpture on the left was also seen in Lwaxana Troi's quarters in "Haven" and Robinson's quarters in "The Outrageous Okona", while the sculpture on the right was also seen on Rubicun III in "Justice" and Aldea in "When the Bough Breaks".

Troi wore a similar medical probe in "The Child", Picard wore one in "The Battle".

The scanner Crusher is holding appears for the first time (and only in this one episode?).

This sculpture seen in the Uxbridge house was designed by C.Jeré and rented from Modern Props. It later appeared in several other Star Trek episodes. It was seen in the O'Briens' quarters on DS9 in "The Siege", for example.

The wall sconces are the same as in the cloning lab on Mariposa in TNG: "Up the Long Ladder".

Something black on the bridge can be seen through the open ready room doors.

Guy Vardaman tells us: "Hey, that thing is a flag used to block light, usually mounted to a 'C-Stand.' So if they wanted to light Riker coming out of the ready room but not have a big shadow or beam of light coming out the door onto the bridge floor, they would block it with a flag like you are seeing."

The engineering bridge stations in seasons 2 and 3.

Note the microphone reflection on the dark surface on the upper right.

Rishon disappears in a creepy fashion.

Also note that someone apparently forgot to close the ready room door.

The fish tank, which was previously seen in Picard's quarters in seasons 1 and 2, in Wesley's quarters in "The Dauphin" and in Dr. Paul Stubbs's guest quarters in "Evolution" appears in Troi's quarters in this episode. It is the last time we see another fish tank on the ship besides Livingston's.

The species of fish that can be identified in this and the other episodes are: yellow tangs, blue damselfish, Cortez rainbow wrasses and tomato clownfish.
