Series Notes

In the pilot episode Emissary, the wormhole does not appear at the end of the opening titles; in subsequent episodes it has been added. Both Move Along Home and The Nagus had originally been announced with different titles, Sore Losers and Friends and Foes respectively. This is the first time in any Star Trek Series, that two consecutive episodes have been renamed.
