Line 14:
** There were some serious rumblings that fan-favorite Q would appear. That ultimately did not pan out and Jonathan Frakes is on record as being disappointed with that.
** According to Michael Piller's unpublished book ''Fade In'', the first draft was about Picard hunting down his old friend from the academy, Duffy, who has gone native with the Baku against the Romulans. The effect of the Fountain of Youth is amplified as the ''Enterprise'' closes in on Duffy, essentially de-aging Patrick Stewart back to Season 1 Picard. It eventually ended with a ''[[Mr. Smith Goes to Washington]]''-like speech by Picard in front of the Federation council, the crew of the Enterprise about to be arrested, but stopped by a [[Slow Clap]] started by Boothby.
** The chase sequences with Duffy made it into the film, with Duffy replaced by Data. This explains the incongruity of Data being invited on the planet at all, to say nothing of going berserk and buzzing around Ru'afo's ship for no reason.
