Notes

• Running fired torpedo count: 43.  This contradicts the hard limit set in “The Cloud” of 38.
• Apparently this episode exists because there was a real world fire on the bridge set of Voyager, and they couldn’t film there while it was being repaired.  The bridge scenes here were shot weeks later.
• The physical prop for Chaotica’s death ray was a weapon in the forest of Minos in the TNG episode “The Arsenal of Freedom“.
• Chaotica’s throne was previously Odala’s chair in “Distant Origin“.
• The Star Trek Enterprise episode “Cogenitor” makes mention of a sci-fi film called “The Bride of Chaotica”.
• The Chaotica character would make one more appearance in the series after this – Season 7’s “Shattered“.
• Nicholas Worth plays Lonzak here. He and the character would return in “Shattered“.  He also played a Lissepian in DS9’s “Progress” and Sorm in DS9’s “A Simple Investigation“.
• Jim Krestalude plays one of the unnamed photonic aliens.  He was also one of the background characters in the rescue scene in the start of “Star Trek: Generations“.
