* [[Rick Berman]] commented: "''First seasons of television shows tend to be potentially very chaotic. The first season of ''Next Generation'' certainly was''". (''[[The Deep Space Log Book: A First Season Companion]]'', p. 7)
  +
* [[Gene Roddenberry]] was determined to bring back as many production staff members from ''The Original Series'' as possible. The first season staff included the following TOS veterans: Producers [[Robert Justman]] and [[Edward K. Milkis]], Writers [[D.C. Fontana]] and [[David Gerrold]], Costume Designer [[William Ware Theiss]], Composer [[Fred Steiner]], Assistant Director [[Charles Washburn]], and Set Decorator [[John Dwyer]]. Cinematographer [[Jerry Finnerman]] was also invited back by Roddenberry, however he turned down the offer as he was working on ''Moonlighting'' at the time. Nevertheless, at the end of the first season '''all''' of them opted to leave the production. Justman has identified Roddenberry's uninitiated attorney and business partner, Leonard Maizlish, as the main agent for them to do so, stating he "destructively" meddled with the creative decision making for the new series. Milkis, thoroughly "disgusted" by Maizlish, already left after a mere three months, before shooting of the pilot was even started, whereas Justman himself admitted that he "For the first time in my life, I began to suffer from hypertension", because of Maizlish, even though he initially wanted to stay on. (''[[Inside Star Trek: The Real Story]]'', p. 433-434) David Gerrold, accusing Maislizh of "real character assassination of the worst sort", strongly shared the sentiment. {{st.com|trek-writer-david-gerrold-looks-back-part-2||article}}

* Roddenberry also brought back production people who worked on various ''Star Trek'' feature films: makeup artist [[Werner Keppler]], illustrators and artists [[Andrew Probert]], [[Michael Okuda]] and [[Rick Sternbach]], property master [[Joe Longo]], and sound editor [[Bill Wistrom]].
 
* The ''Galaxy''-class ''Enterprise''-D was designed to hold families. In subsequent seasons and other ''Trek'' series, we learn that this does not pertain only for families who serve on ''Galaxy''-class vessels, but other Federation vessels as well. ({{DS9|Emissary}}; {{TNG|Hero Worship}}; {{VOY|The Raven|Dark Frontier}})

* No definite [[chief engineer]] is introduced, as a total of three officers – [[Logan]], [[Argyle]], and [[Sarah MacDougal]] – held the position. [[Leland T. Lynch]] is also a senior officer in the department. [[Geordi La Forge]] serves mainly as a [[helmsman]] and does not become Chief Engineer until the [[TNG Season 2|second season]].
