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
Some awkwardness at the start but it gets soooo good
Barclay from TNG is trying to contact voyager using his theory of micro singularities to form 2 way instantaneous audio. The episode gets going after the scenes with him and Troy (also from TNG) so I advise to keep going. She's acting as a councillor and friend to him to get him to open up as he recounts the main events of the episode after the fact.
Now we all who have seen TNG know what Barclay is like, a physics genius but somewhere on the spectrum and not able to maintain social relationships well. If he annoys you he annoys you, maybe skip to about half way through and you'll get all the really good stuff.
The end though.......
This one literally had me choking up at the end, lump in throat and tears in eyes. Shows don't do that to me often :') Admiral Paris is a great character I hope I see more of him but kinda doubt it lol
