Notes

• Running fired torpedo count: 67 (one this episode).  This contradicts the hard limit set in “The Cloud” of 38.
• This episode was filmed before the previous one, despite the production code numbers not showing this.  That explains Tom having a wedding ring then, and them having a new Delta Flyer then and it being “rebuilt” here.
• Tom Paris & B’Elanna Torres are married in this episode – the second time the characters are shown to be married.  The other time though were copies of the characters (Course: Oblivion) – this one was the real ones.
• Irina is played by Cyia Batten.  She was also an Orion Slave Girl in Enterprise’s “Bound” as well as Tora Ziyal on DS9’s “Indiscretion” & “Return to Grace“.
• O’Zaal was played by Brian George. George is more well known as the father of Raj Koothrappali on The Big Bang Theory.  He was also Dr Bashir’s father Richard in the DS9 episode “Doctor Bashir, I Presume“.
• Patrick Kilpatrick plays Assan here.  He was also Razik in “Initiations” as well as Reese in the most excellent DS9 episode “The Siege of AR-558“.
