Weird things you never picked up on....
STNG, Picard had an odd paperweight on his desk in the Ready Room. A beautiful crystal that served no apparent purpose except to look like it belonged there and for Picard to fiddle with during dialogue scenes.
Then you have that vague recognition.. and the memory jogs that its the same crystal used in The Dark Crystal. So, a classic case of an old prop being recycled from somewhere....
But, then add in this:
Cheryl Gates McFadden was the Choreographer on the set of Jim Henson's Labyrinth.
So, Labyrinth might have been Crusher's Holodeck adventure...
