Notes
- Running fired torpedo count: 63 (one this episode – but from the Delta Flyer). This contradicts the hard limit set in “The Cloud” of 38.
- The episode’s title is based around the bible verse John 10: 11-15.
- Crewman Mitchell is played by Tom Morello. Morello is more well known as the guitarist in the band Rage Against The Machine. Morello was also a non speaking background alien in the movie Star Trek: Insurrection.
- Only one of the three “Lower Decks style” characters ever appears again after this. That’s Zoe McLellan’s “Tap Celes” who appears in “The Haunting of Deck Twelve“.

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Voyager Ep 140 - Good Shepherd - 15 Mar 2000 2/2 be better. While Janeway was OK, the three officers here didn't do anything for me. With S6 nearly done I didn't think I'd get an ep I'd want to skip it.. Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine cameos as a crewman.
