MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: When Neelix and the two Ferengi are beamed up to Voyager they are bound together back to back to back. Yet the next scene in the transporter room shows them separated and standing on different transporter pads. There is no sigh of the cord that bound them.

TRIVIA

In this episode, Neelix has himself surgically altered to pose as the Grand Nagus's proxy. This would be the 2nd time that Ethan Phillips (I) has played a Ferengi. Phillips played as the Ferengi Dr. Farak on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987) {Ménage à Troi (#3.24)}. Phillips would also go on to play the Ferengi Ulis in "Enterprise" (2001) {Acquisition (#1.19)}.
Actor Dan Shor reprises his character of the Ferengi Arridor who first appeared on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987) {The Price (#3.8)}.
