Notes

• Running fired torpedo count: 43.  This contradicts the hard limit set in “The Cloud” of 38.
• It is stated that the crew complement is 152, which is inconsistent with numerous episodes – I’m glad I stopped keeping track a few episodes ago.  :)
• The first (of ten) episode of Voyager directed by Terry Windell.  He also directed one episode of Enterprise.
• The Vulcan master in this episode was played by Joseph Ruskin. He was Galt in the TOS episode “The Gamesters of Triskelion“, a Cardassian informant in DS9’s “Improbable Cause“, the Klingon Tumek in DS9’s “The House of Quark” & “Looking for par’Mach in all the Wrong Places“, a Son’a officer in Star Trek Insurrection, and a Suliban Doctor in Enterprise’s “Broken Bow“.
• The younger version of Tuvok was played by Leroy Brazile.  He was also the Cardassian Lonar in DS9’s “The Dogs of War“.
• The desert areas of this episode were previously appeared in DS9’s “Shadows and Symbols“.  The two episodes aired just four months apart.
• The force field generator prop in this episode was in the TNG episode “The Pegasus” as a cloaking device.
