I'm a big David Bowie fan, and whenever I see this episode's title, the song pops into my head right away. However, the phrase "Ashes to Ashes" has been part of human culture related to post-death rituals for many years, and the connection to the Bowie song is pretty much non-existent. I'm removing the trivia for now, if someone wishes to put it back up, I would propose that a more tangible connection be illustrated. - Ugliness Man 08:35, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nits

I removed the following nits, as nitpickery is not allowed. --From Andoria with Love 07:22, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Ensign Lyndsay Ballard was portrayed as having a dynamic personality, highly valued and to have socialized with many senior crew members, and yet she had never appeared at all in any other episode.

It is not known why Ensign Lyndsay Ballard's lapses in to her Kobali language was not translated by the Universal Translator. This would have caused her lapses to be unnoticeable by the crew. It could be explained only if the Universal Translator was disabled because no one was anticipating a First Contact situation.

[edit] Science fair?

I could be wrong, but doesn't the science fair occur in the following episode, VOY: "Child's Play"? Thus, the note about the 1/1000 scale Borg Cube should be moved there. EDIT: Nevermind, I confused the cubes with their science fair projects. Derefed 03:11, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1000th scale

The model Cubes made by the twins are too small to be 1/1000th scale models of a Borg cube. A Borg Cube is over three kilometers long, a 1/1000th scale model would be at least three meters.

Sounds very nitpickish to me. Removed unless others feel it's warranted. – Morder 09:23, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
