“Symbiosis” was filmed after “Skin of Evil”, which featured the death of Tasha Yar, making this the final filmed episode with Denise Crosby as Yar until she reappeared in “Yesterday’s Enterprise”. Towards the end of the episode, as Picard and Crusher leave the cargo bay, Crosby can be seen waving goodbye to the camera behind them (timestamp 42:15, she is clearly visible above Patrick Stewart’s left shoulder as the bay doors close). LeVar Burton later used behind the scenes footage from this episode in a feature on his show Reading Rainbow, in the episode “The Bionic Bunny Show”

I seem to recall Reading Rainbow show how they did the transporter effects (for tng anyways), unless that was another one and I’m too old heh. It was some stuff swirling in water shown over the people from what I recall but may misremembered that part but don’t think so, I think I only saw it once.
Just had to add that from the last bit, perhaps same episode if I am remembering. Showing why reading is fun is needed, I have read so much and it was awesome. Even audiobooks can be similar. Burton is great, not just cause but it definitely highlighted him outside of Star Trek for me. Plus he is amusing in his self character bits in comedy for sure, Community for one is hilarious.
oh wow had no idea he did cameo in Community, brilliant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvEn1u_s5HA
Yeah I enjoy Community and the Troy actor is great (mentioned due to his character’s reason for Burton being in it), with being a funny stand up along with musician (or lyricalist/rapper unsure if different). Writing is quite well done overall, plus fun specials for Halloween and Xmas if that’s your thing.
But it’s always fun to see actors play themselves in comedies, enjoyed the tng actors in Big Bang Theory, yes cheesy comedy but sometimes easier than thinking too much.
I was first introduced to Donald Glover back when he was doing Youtube skits for Derrick Comedy, and I always wondered what happened to him until someone told me to watch Community
