Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA picture of Tom Paris in a cadet uniform is shown on Admiral Owen Paris' desk. It is actually a picture of Robert Duncan McNeill playing a different character in the Star Trek Universe: Nick Locarno from The First Duty (1992). Depending on which story you believe, either the Tom Paris character was originally meant to be Locarno but there were legal issues with "The First Duty"'s writers, or the Tom Paris character was developed separately and McNeill's casting was an afterthought when someone noticed the similarities between Locarno and Paris.
- GoofsWhen the camera pans across Admiral Paris' desk, you see a photo of Mr. Paris. It is clearly flipped because his communicator is on the wrong side of his chest. However, when Barclay and Admiral Paris are discussing Pathfinder and Admiral Paris glances at the photo just moments later, the communicator is suddenly on the correct side of the uniform.
- Quotes
Neelix: I'm ready for my lesson!
Seven of Nine: I've concluded that teaching you to sing is an inefficient use of my time.
Neelix: But I... I've... I've been practicing.
Seven of Nine: In your case, practice is irrelevant. Your vocal cords are incapable of producing basic diatonic tones, not to mention your rhythmic shortcomings.
Neelix: [sighs, disappointed] I sound so good in the sonic shower.
Seven of Nine: Perhaps you should confine your efforts to that location.

Featured review
Great one for Reg fans
Back on Earth we see Reg Barclay trying to establish contact with Voyager and encountering resistance from the Starfleet chain of command.
Barclay and Deanna Troi are the main focus as he fights to get his idea recognised and suffers multiple set backs that require the emotional support of his Betazoid friend.
The plot is a little bit frustrating, but when we get to the conclusion there is a particularly uplifting feel-good moment that's worth all the effort to reach.
Dwight Schultz is as howlingly mad as ever playing a man who either might be losing sanity or on his way to greatness. It's nice to see Marina Sirtis but it does feel a bit like she's there to hook the TNG fans.
An interesting perspective on Voyager's predicament from the other side of the galaxy with one word of warning; see my review's title.
