Trivia
Noah Lessing says that the planet looks just like McKinley Park, which is a popular filming location for all the "Star Trek" series, including this one.

Goofs
Janeway is willing to extract information from Noah Lessing by inhumane methods if need be. Chakotay, though disgusted, cannot think of a saner alternative. Both seem to have forgotten that they have a number of mind readers in their crew, who have been helpful for this purpose in the past. Lieutenant Commander Tuvok is the most obvious example.

Quotes
Captain Rudy Ransom: You know, once we get our enhanced warp drive back on-line, we'll be on our way home, but it'll still take months to get there. You can spend that time in the brig, or... you can become part of this crew. I prefer the latter.
Seven of Nine: I'd prefer the brig.
Captain Rudy Ransom: You know, Janeway is not the only captain who can help you explore your humanity.
Seven of Nine: You would be an inferior role model.

Janeway Goes Nuts

I've thought for a long time that Kathryn Janeway's character was portrayed as unbalanced. But most of the time she comes to her senses and banks on her training and acumen. In the entire episode, she is shown to be an obsessed nut. I'd never noticed before how the more erratic she is, the more her sharp chin sticks out. It was out a lot her. The problem (and lets not forget that this is just fiction) is that her response to the Captain of the Equinox is way over the top. She throws away all those years of respect and concern for her own people to launch a vendetta against a man she had never met before. If one watches the series, we know that there are selfish scallawags all over the place. Yes, she trusted him, but she trusted Harry's judgment in the last episode. It's her judgment that shouldn't be trusted. Anyway, the final scene with Chakotay shows she has learned nothing. The crew has no choice but to follow her, but I would guess that trust not going to be easy.
