Notes

• Running fired torpedo count: 53.  This contradicts the hard limit set in “The Cloud” of 38.
• It is said the crew complement is 146, which differs from the 143 & 152 also stated in this season.  I stopped counting a little while ago, it’s wildly inconsistent.
• The third of four episodes of Voyager directed by Robert Duncan McNeill (Tom Paris).
• Robert Picardo & Jeri Ryan did their own signing in this episode (or at least most of it).
• The dance sequences were choreographed by Laura Feder Behr.  She is the wife of DS9 writer/producer Ira Steven Behr.
• The footage of an ovum and sperm is apparently re-used footage from the movie “Look Who’s Talking“.
• The last appearance of Paris’ “Chez Sandrine” holodeck program.
• The overindulgence of an Ambassador plot mirrors events from the TNG episode “Liaisons“.
• Ian Abercrombie plays the Abbot in this episode.  He was also Milo in the sixth season episode “Spirit Folk“.
