• Directed By Cast Member: Jonathan Frakes was already a popular director for TNG and Deep Space Nine.
• What Could Have Been: Originally, a scene with Sisko ordering Worf to command the Defiant in the battle was to be featured. It was filmed, but cut.
  • Originally, Picard and Riker's roles were to be switched, and more emphasis was going to be placed on the Earth storyline.
  • The Borg Queen wasn't in the early drafts of the script. They started to formulate the character when executive script notes remarked that they were just cyber-zombies and the movie needed a more tangible villain.
  • The Defiant was outright destroyed in one draft of the script (unsurprisingly, the DS9 staff objected to what effects this would create for their show, so it was changed).
  • Tom Hanks as Zefram Cochrane.
