Stewart: ..There's something none of you knew about Parallels. Actually, most of the cast including Michael never knew either. I was chatting with Braga outside Michael's trailer when we overheard Michael talking in his sleep from inside the trailer. We could see in. He had ChiPs sheets. It was ramblings about Data with blue eyes, Wil with gel in his hair and being XO of the Enterprise. that's where Braga got the idea for the episode.
