TRIVIA

This is the only episode in the history of Star Trek for which the hairstyling cost more than visual effects because most of the Janeway scenes had to be re-shot after the studio requested that Janeway have a different hairstyle.
As of this episode, Armin Shimerman (Quark) and Richard Poe (Gul Evek) have both played the same character on three different "Star Trek" series. The only other actors to do so are John de Lancie (Q), Michael Ansara (Kang), and 'Mark Allen Shepherd' (Morn).
The following senior officers were killed when the Caretaker brought Voyager into the Delta Quadrant: Lt. Cmdr. Cavit (First Officer), Lt. Stadi (Conn Officer), Dr. Fitzgerald (Chief Medical Officer) and his Vulcan nurse (T'Prenna), and the Chief Engineer.
The first and final episodes have the same last line, "Set a course, for home," said by Captain Janeway.
Ethan Phillips (I) (Neelix) and Jennifer Lien (Kes) do not appear in the syndicated version of this episode, as they are not seen until the second half of the original feature-length episode.
