Notes

• Running fired torpedo count: 1
• Features the return of the Vidiians, although they’re more a plot device vs a threat here.
• The first time we see another Talaxian.
• For scenes when there was two B’Elannas at once, they didn’t use split screen.  They cast another actress (Joy Kilpatrick) to play a body double.  Kilpatrick was not credited in the episode for that.
• There was a second body double played by “Lynn Salvatori”, but Kilpatrick was the primary one.
• Lt Durst (introduced in the last episode) was the first Voyager crew member (after their being stranded) to die – and stay dead.
• The events of this episode are recalled in the episode “Lifesigns” (another Vidiian episode).
• Rob LaBelle plays the Talaxian prisoner here.  He was also Kafar in the episode “False Profits” and a different Talaxian (Oxilon) in the episode “Homestead“.
