So that's how it was made? I really liked the effect. After all this decades of Star Trek content and information I somehow never saw something about how the special effects were made. They were always quite convincing to me.

ST:TNG Behind the Scenes with LeVar Burton

These scenes are actually clipped from Reading Rainbow S06E01 "The Bionic Bunny Show" in which LeVar describes the process of making a television show. They show the transporter effect starting at 9:30.

One of my favorite episodes of Reading Rainbow when I was a kid!!

Exactly what I was just about to say. This episode was a big deal when it happened because I had been watching Reading Rainbow for years and loved to see LeVar on TNG. That's a never forget crossover episode right there

He was the Navigator?!?!? I'm having a serious Mandela effect here, I'm SURE he was an engineer

Edit: And, in a curious coincidence, I just received a text from LaVar via MoveOn about Banned Book Week (he is, unsurprising, against banning books)

Navigator in the first season. Then he gets a promotion to chief engineer.

Wasn't it sugar or salt, not glitter? It needed to dissolve in water
