Agreed. I propose the creation of a page for "Best line in any episode", if that one isn't it, then it's certainly up there. 72.15.95.101 01:17, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] pronouns

Considering that the J'naii made a point of mentioning their dislike for male and female personal pronouns, they certianly use them alot. They keep going around calling each other he and she, in a few contexts it was obvioulsy intended to refer to J'naii who weren't as gender neutral as they were supposed to be, but in other cases they seem to use he and she as normal pronouns, an oversite?--64.12.116.197 20:53, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it was due to the universal translator, ha ha. --Matrona 22:18, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Homosexuality?

It seems this episode deals with gender identity issues much more closely than it does with sexual preference. Soren's monologue, quoted on this page, could word-for-word have come from a transgender individual.

Well... the article never claims more then an "allegorical" connection with the topic of homosexuality, which I think is fair. It certainly wasn't as "homosexual" as if Riker had "spent the night" with Geordi, but I certainly think the issue can be viewed as a matter of "sexual identity". Sexual identity is an important concept for the homosexual community, and the transgendered community. It was a softball episode, but it was pre-Clinton era episode, so it has more of an excuse then Voyager for not taking a firm stance on the issue. -- Hossrex 22:32, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
