Episode Quotes

	Season 1 / Episode 13: - Cathexis The Doctor: Needless to say, it was a remarkable procedure. I would consider writing a paper about it if there were a convenient forum in which to publish it.
	Season 1 / Episode 13: - Cathexis Captain Kathryn Janeway: If you feel at any time that any of us are under the influence of the alien, you can countermand our orders and take control of the ship. Do you feel up to it? The Doctor: Of course. I make life and death decisions every day.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

PLOT: When analyzing the "alien" brainwave that was superimposed on other crew member's brain patterns, the Doctor says that it has an unusual energy signature, which he has never seen before. As established later, this new brainwave actually belonged to Chakotay. It would be rather strange that the Doctor would not have Chakotay's medical data on file and recognize his brain pattern instantly.
