Notes

• Running fired torpedo count: 61.  This contradicts the hard limit set in “The Cloud” of 38.
• This was the last episode of Star Trek directed by Gabrielle Beaumont.  It was her only episode of Voyager.  In total she directed 7 episodes of TNG, and one of DS9.  She was the first female director in any incarnation of Star Trek.
• Beaumont was married to Olaf Pooley, who appeared in this episode as a Cleric.
• Gotana-Retz was played by Daniel Day Kim. He was also Chang in three episodes of Enterprise: “The Xindi“, “Extinction“, & “Hatchery“.  He’s done a lot of things, but I also know him well as John Matheson, one of the primary cast on the Babylon 5 spin off series, “Crusade“.
• Kelemane was played by Obi Ndefo.  He was also the Klingon Drex (son of Martok) in the DS9 episode “The Way of the Warrior“.
• Daniel Zacapa played a character billed as “Astronomer” here.  He was also Henry Garcia in the DS9 episode “Past Tense, Part II“.
• The time difference in play here is quite large.  One day on the planet is one second in Voyager time.  Voyager is in orbit for a few centuries planet time.  The amount of time Voyager was in orbit by their time isn’t mentioned, but if you extrapolate the formula, it’s about two days ship time.
