Notes

• Running fired torpedo count: 61 (one this episode).  This contradicts the hard limit set in “The Cloud” of 38.
• This was originally planned as a two parter, but changed to one.
• Footage from this episode was re-used in the opening credits for the Star Trek Enterprise episodes “In a Mirror Darkly” as part of the Mirror Universe version of the titles.  Specifically the actual first shot of this episode was the footage reused.
• While this episode implies that the Vaadwaur would be seen again, they were not, although one of their spaceships was seen again once.
• The fourth (and I think) final time we see Voyager landing on a planet.
• This episode’s plot has large parts that are similar to the TOS episode “Space Seed“.
• Gedrin is played by Jeff Allin.  He was also Sutter in TNG’s “Imaginary Friend”.
• Gaul is played by Robert Knepper.  He was also Wyatt Miller in TNG’s “Haven” (Deanna Troi’s fiancé).
