Notes
- Running fired torpedo count: 61. This contradicts the hard limit set in “The Cloud” of 38.
- A direct sequel to the episode “Fair Haven“.
- A working title for this episode was “Daoine Sidhe”. That is Irish, which translated means “The People of the Mounds”. Why? No idea.
- The only time Voyager’s registry is read out loud in an episode (NCC-74656).
- Several of the Fair Haven actors reprised their (holodeck) roles from that episode.
- Milo was played by Ian Abercrombie. He was also the Abbott in Voyager’s “Someone to Watch over Me“.
- The woman who played Edith Mulchaey (Bairbre Dowling) used to be married to Colm Meaney (DS9 & TNG’s O’Brien).
- This episode was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series.
