Storyline

- TriviaThis episode's opening scene, in which Harry Kim and Tom Paris hold an idle conversation before Chakotay calls them to the bridge, was filmed as part of Death Wish (1996), but later edited out and reused here due to its generic nature.
- GoofsAs a Vulcan, Mr. Tuvok would presumably not be susceptible to the psychological effects of fear and could have intervened in the environment of the simulation. A similar situation arose in Spectre of the Gun (1968), in which the Enterprise NCC-1701 crew were forced into a recreation of the gunfight at the OK Corral in Arizona in 1881. Recognizing that these images were entirely fictitious and therefore could do him no harm, Mr. Spock had no fear, and the gunfighters could do him no harm.

Clown: How am I supposed to negotiate if I don't know what you're thinking?
The Doctor: I have a very trustworthy face.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) meets The Matrix (1999)
The Voyager crew inspects an apparently deserted planet only to receive an automated message from a cryogenic system which was created to hold the planet's last survivors. It is then found that even though the disaster that the survivors were trying to ride out has come to pass they are still in stasis. When the crew realizes this they beam the cryopods to the cargo bay and find that the people are connected together in some sort of program where their brains are reacting with one another. Inside the program the personification of fear torments the survivors with their deepest darkest fears to the point where some die from the stress. It has been one of my personal favorite episodes of Star Trek: Voyager" (1995) since it first aired and raises many questions about fear, and how we react to it.
