• This episode is almost identical to an episode of Enterprise, but I can't remember which one. I'm sure this is pointed out in the writeup for the Enterprise episode, but it might be good to mention it here, too. --Malimar 04:21, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • When was the cloaking device mentioned? Its in the references. And why is Ayala in there? Was he actually referenced?SlowLoris 01:33, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Green blood comment

Reverted my reversion to provide the opportunity for discussion about this line. My concern was that we should take care not to bog down episode summaries with observations about the writers/producers keeping (or not, in many cases) continuity intact. As said at What Memory Alpha is not, we are not a nitpick catalog. If we're not going to nitpick, then we shouldn't compliment, either. That said, there are not many occasions where Tuvok is wounded, so after thinking about it and discussing it on my userpage, I can understand including it. Unless there are other major objections to it, I'll drop my opposition.--31dot 01:16, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fahrenheit?

When the Doctor asks Seven for Tom Paris's vital signs, she gives his temperature in Fahrenheit, it seems. Normally, everything is in Celsius or Kelvin, but 97.6 degrees has to be Fahrenheit. Strange! I wonder why Celsius wasn't used this time? Maybe this is worth mentioning in the notes, as Fahrenheit is so rarely used. Avengah 20:15, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

They're usually discussing the temperatures of stars and planets atmospheres when using Kelvin and Celsius. As you can see here that Fahrenheit has been used almost as many times as Kelvin has. In this particular case they wanted the audience to be aware of the temperature so that they could easily make a comparison. So, no, I don't think it's worth mentioning. – Morder 21:17, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removed nitpick

Removed the following nitpick:

• When the Doctor's mobile emitter goes off-line the second time, in Engineering, instead of dropping to the floor consistent with the hologram discontinuing it simply vanishes. After the angle change, there is no indication of it on the floor. This could have been put in by the writers as a hallucination on Seven's part, which would also help explain the 'EPS grid' mention.--31dot 22:35, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

• The Doctor claims that he has tied in his mobile emitter into the EPS grid, however it's unclear how this would work without either a physical connection or "line of sight" (similar to the M-5 power connection in TOS: "The Ultimate Computer" as he was walking through the ship and not remaining in one location.
• Near the end of the episode, when many senior officers appear bruised in Seven's hallucination on the bridge, it is interesting to note that Tuvok's bruises are greenish, consistent with Vulcan's blood when oxygenated.

The first one...a nitpick...the second one...well, not really necessary...Vulcan's have green blood...they bruise green...just like Spock in the original series. I don't really see this as necessary... – Morder 06:32, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

I pointed out the blood thing to the person who added it, who disagreed with my removing it, as shown here on my user page where they discussed it with me. While I can understand that point of view, I do agree that it's not really necessary.--31dot 11:06, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

• It is mentioned that Tom Paris opened the confines of his stasis chamber four times throughout the course of the episode. It is not explained, however, how he avoided the effects of the nebula, especially when the entire bridge crew began feeling the effects almost immediately after entering it.

Removed Nitpick. — Morder 01:37, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stasis chambers

Where did they get 150 stasis chambers in that short time? Did they replicate them somehow? It's hard to imagine they kept them stored somewhere aboard for 4 years. 150 of them would take a whole lot of space.

The stasis chambers were probably replicated. The doctor needed some time to "prepare" the stasis, i suppose that part of that time was used replicating the chambers… 84.222.81.137

Honestly, any insight into the technical facts of this episode is silly because the episode itself is ridiculous. If they can be protected in stasis chambers, then how could they not do the same kind of protection using the shields or protect the bridge the same way. Radiation doesn't stop affecting you just because you're asleep. And why wouldn't it affect other parts of the ship. This is just one of those episodes when they throw all logic out the window so that they can put the crew into a special situation like having Seven be in charge. -- 01:26, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
