Episode Notes
Tom Paris was a member of the Maquis.
Like most television programs and films, sound is depicted to exist in this episode, outside a space ship. This is a deliberate mistake made by the creators, as in reality there would be no sound since space is a vacuum. One well known film to depict this accurately is the classic 1968 Stanley Kubrick film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
A light year is the distance that light travels in the vacuum of space in one year. Light travels at 299,792,458 metres per second. Interestingly, scientists have not only been able to slow light down, but they have actually succeeded in stopping it.

Kate Mulgrew (Captain Kathryn Janeway), Robert Beltran (Chakotay), Tim Russ (Tuvok), and Robert Duncan McNeill (Tom Paris) are the only ones to appear in every single episode of Star Trek: Voyager.
The first and final episodes have the same last line, "Set a course, for home," said by Captain Janeway.
With their appearances in this episode, Armin Shimerman (Quark) and Richard Poe (Gul Evek) have both played the same character in three different Star Trek series. The only other actors to have done so are Jonathan Frakes (Commander William T. Riker), Marina Sirtis (Counsellor Deanna Troi), John de Lancie (Q) and Michael Ansara (Kang).

Quark: Here am I, trying to be a cordial host, knowing how much a young officer's parents would appreciate a token of his love on the eve of a dangerous mission and what do I get for my trouble? Scurrilous insults. Well, somebody's going to hear about this!
B'Elanna: Our fuel line has ruptured. Attempting to compensate. Damn it! We're barely maintaining impulse. I can't get any more out of it.
Chakotay: Be creative.
B'Elanna: How am I supposed to be creative with a 39-year old rebuilt engine?!
Chakotay: Be creative.

Paris: Stadi, you're changing my mind about Betzoids.
Stadi: Good.

Paris: Just not to me.
