Notes

• Running fired torpedo count: 23 / Confirmed crew deaths since pilot: 13 (crew of 141 – departure of Kes).
• Two episodes in a row where Voyager loses a shuttlecraft.  That makes six total now.  Makes you wonder how many they’re supposed to have, as they likely can’t easily build more.
• This was supposed to be the fourth episode of the season, but was swapped positions with the next one.  Not really sure why.
• Roxann Dawson was pregnant in real life when they filmed this.  She was about 3 or 4 months along.  Putting her inside a space suit must have been an interesting challenge.
• The Doctor does not appear in this episode.
• The first time we see the ejection of a warp core from a ship in the entire history of Star Trek – at least this close anyway.
• The Vulcan crew member Vorik reappears for the first time since “Blood Fever“.
• Alan Altshuld plays Lumas here.  He was also a sandal maker in Voyager’s “False Profits“, Yrnac in TNG’s “Gambit Part I‘, & Pomet in TNG’s “Starship Mine“.
• Michael Krawic plays Rahmin here.  He was also Samuels on DS9’s “The Maquis, Part I” and Stron on Enterprise’s “Carbon Creek“.
