Notes

• Running fired torpedo count: 43.  This contradicts the hard limit set in “The Cloud” of 38.
• In this episode, Janeway is given a (fake) letter from her former fiancé saying he’s broken off his engagement to another woman.  This is in conflict with the episode “Hunters” which established that Mark married another woman.
• The “way out” at the end of this episode was extremely similar to the escape from an alien being at the end of TNG’s “Galaxy’s Child” episode.
• The Flotter toy from “Once Upon a Time” makes a reappearance here.
• Qatai is played by W Morgan Sheppard.  He was also Ira Graves in TNG’s “The Schizoid Man“, the Klingon commander of Rura Penthe in Star Trek VI, and an unnamed Vulcan minister in Star Trek (2009).  He was also the older version of Canton Everett Delaware III in the Doctor Who episode “The Impossible Astronaut“.
