[edit] Phaser rifles

• "This episode features the first appearance of phaser rifles."

Maybe he had a local weapon, but 2 episodes earlier, on Warlords, the gun Paris was carrying when he was breaking Tuvoc out of confinement looked like it was a Phaser Rifle. The Anaconda 02:18, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, the first phaser rifle seen on Voyager was in the first episode, this might refer to the first time a "First Contact" style phaser rifle was used? -- Captain Mike K. Bartel^talk 02:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] reminders?

• Neelix reminds Janeway he has only one lung, which he lost to the Vidiians.

Is this even necessary? — Morder 18:01, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I find it nice to have the note of continuity, personally. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 18:05, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I've decided to remove it anyway...because it's already referenced above it. — Morder 18:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree with the removal of the duplicate comment, but also agree that a major character point such as this deserves to be mentioned(as it is currently).--31dot 21:06, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removed

I removed:

• "When Janeway got some supplies she put them in a zip-up bag. According to creator Gene Roddenberry, zippers would be no longer used by the 23rd century. {{incite}}"
• "Janeway says that she could have been "shot at dawn" for offending the Tak Tak. In the previous episode, VOY: "The Q and the Grey", she very nearly was."

The first is essentially a nitpick, especially without a citation, while still forgetting the numerous other zipper appearances that have appeared over the series'. The second is just some cutesy comment akin to those that used to crop up in the TOS episode backgrounds starting with "watch for" ending with "!!!". --Alan 06:28, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Location of Sickbay

I was watching this episode earlier and I noticed that it seemed after Janeway left the mess hall and went to sickbay she didn't seem to change decks which she would have had to do as the Mess Hall was on Deck 2 and Sickbay Deck 4. Should this be mentioned?– The preceding unsigned comment was added by 92.3.23.51 (talk).

It probably occured off-camera, so I would say probably not.--31dot 16:21, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bottle show?

Question -- is this technically a bottle show? While most of the episode does take place on either Voyager or a shuttle, there is the scene where the Doctor beams down to the mine. How strict is the criteria for a bottle show? Somms999 18:24, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
