I was reading Denise Crosby's bio and they referenced this scene where Tasha waves goodbye in the background as Picard/Crusher are exiting
Neat !!
That's funny.. never noticed that before.
Yeah, and the other hard thing for her was this episode was actually filmed after the one where she actually died in. They were just shown in a different order when they aired.
I remember reading that in one of the Nitpicker's Guide to Next Gen books.
I don't see her!

Look between Beverly and Picard as they enter the turbolift..
got it! Thanks!
That's creepy how I've never notice that...and I've watched that episode several times.

They rerun the first four seasons last year here. I've seen this one recently but I never saw that!
Good find!
LOL! It almost looks like she's shooting them the bird!

ha ha i see what you mean.
Can't believe so many people didn't know about this! I too discovered the 'wave' from reading the excellent Nitpicker's Guide MANY years ago. Spent hours looking for camera tripods, reflections, boom mikes and incorrect rank pips too....
Boy I AM a geek! :-)

I never liked those nitpicking books, I couldn't understood why fans would point out all the mistakes on a show that they supposedly love. I focus on the story more then if the pips are correct or the reflection of a boom mic. But I guess that's just me.. to each their own.
I always thought they were funny. One of my friends had them in High School we used to like going through them while watching eps we'd seen many times already.

That's the way I read the too. I also liked it when it pointed out 'in-jokes' or 'nods' in the series. For example when David Ogden Stiers guest starred in TNG, one of the LCARS screens was headed with the numbers '4077'.
When the author spent half a page for example explaining why the Enterprise got to a planet too soon because at warp 7 it should have taken X amount of time is when I thought it went too far.....
How sad... poor Tasha.
I always wonder about actors who know they're getting axed from a series. Do they give a lesser performance out of spite? Do they overact, hoping to get a critical nod or award? Do they act more morose or psychotic or lovable than before, moreso than the director really wanted?
I'll have to check out the nitpickers books. I like noticing things like that. But, I can never watch a show the same again after knowing more than the show put out. For example, that BSG "making of"/meet-the-actors special before the last episode. I didn't want to watch it before the finale because I wanted to preserve the characters as they were in the series, untainted by reality. Another example, after learning about the wardrobe issues with the tugging down of the shirts, I get distracted every damn time Riker or Picard do it.
