The Wizard of Oz is a famous children's book and a movie from Earth's early 20th Century.
If I Only Had a Heart, a tune that Doctor Ira Graves used to whistle is a song from one of the movie adaptations of the book. (TNG: "The Schizoid Man")
Gomtuu was christened "Tin Man", after one of the characters of the Wizard of Oz (incidentally the same character that used to sing "If I Only had a Heart") by Starfleet scientists. (TNG: "Tin Man")
- The episode also derives its title from the character from The Wizard of Oz.
When Doctor Beverly Crusher was caught in a shrinking warp bubble and began to realize, how easy it would be able to leave the bubble, she said: "Click my heels together three times and I'm back in Kansas?" quoting an important phrase from The Wizard of Oz, usually spoken by the main character, Dorothy. (TNG: "Remember Me")
In 2373, Jake Sisko and Nog said "Lions, Gigers, bears...", "Oh my", paraphrasing the line "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my" from The Wizard of Oz. (DS9: "In the Cards")
- It's not clear if Jake and Nog were supposed to have been aware of the reference or not.
- The Wizard of Oz is one of the few real-life movies referenced in Star Trek not produced by Paramount Pictures.
