- GoofsWhen Kovin said they reported the accident immediately, Captain Janeway doesn't look at the accident report nor do they attempt to have Seven identify the other assistant in the lab where she was "held."
- Quotes
The Doctor: I often find my own patience being tested by someone like Mr. Kovin. Of course I generally respond with a devastating quip rather than a left hook.

Featured review
Better than the last episode but lower rated for some reason
I can be noted that this episode was not written by the same writer as the last. I have noticed some reviews coming from anti-male writers. The episode is indeed balanced and does represent some real life situations. People react in the way in which people do in real life.
I would say the whole point of the episode is examining the notion of questioning emotion over logic. People with "witch-hunt" types of mentality ( always guilty regardless of whether they can be proved innocent) won't like it. The reason for this is because the episode reflects real life.
Unlike the last episode people stay in character this time. 7 of 9 (contrary to some people) IS taken seriously and people do seem to jump to conclusions probably because she is one of their own.
In no way does the episode suggest that a woman's rights are less than male's... none whatsoever. It is purely reflecting on the need to use sound judgement and seek the truth in an objective manner. There are plenty of times when perpetrators of some form of violation are truely guilty; some of those people get away with it and some don't. There are also several incidents where innocent people get wrongly convicted or have their life destroyed because of false allegations. It is just life.
