Notes

• Running fired torpedo count: 18 / Confirmed crew deaths since pilot: 12 (crew of 142).
• The odd body gesturing by the Tak Tak was apparently due to Kate Mulgrew’s propensity to put her hands on her hips as Janeway.  From what I could read, the production staff thought it would be funny to extrapolate that to an alien race.
• Ensign Wildman’s quarters are seen for the first time.
• Neelix’s “A Briefing with Neelix” returns, only here called “Good Morning, Voyager” – a reference to the real life TV show “Good Morning America” perhaps?
• Albie Sensnick plays the Tak Tak Consul here.  He was also in Voyager’s “The Voyager Conspiracy” as Tash as well as in TNG’s “The Cost of Living” as a Juggler.
