Notes

• Running fired torpedo count: 1
• Working title for this episode was “Seska”.
• The first time we see the Kazon since the pilot.
• Seska appears again for the third episode in a row – this one reveals who she was all along.
• When making this, Kate Mulgrew was sick, and as such some of her lines were given to other cast.
• The outdoor scenes were filmed at Bronson Caves in Bronson Canyon.  It’s a familiar location in Trek, as Deep Space Nine, Enterprise, Next Gen,  and the original series all filmed here.  Additionally, The A Team, Batman, Bonanza, The Dukes of Hazzard, the 60’s Mission Impossible series, and the Monkees all filmed here.  Plus a whole lot more.
• Tuvok theorizes that other Federation ships could have been brought into the Delta Quadrant.  This is eventually shown in the Equinox two parter.
• Not quite sure what the title of the episode has to do with the episode itself.
