Culluh: You'll be given no more respect than any Kazon woman now that your ship and technology are mine. I will tell you when you may speak.
Janeway: Allow my crew to live, they were following my orders.
Culluh: You're even worse than she is. (Points to Seska) What is it about women in your quadrant? You know she contradicts me in front of the senior escara? My own woman, disputing her Maj in front of others. This is your fault, you've let your women get out of control. (edit) The Doctor: Captain, I hesitate to offer suggestions in a field of endeavour that is not within my usual area of expertise.
Janeway: Please Doctor, your suggestions on any subject are always welcome.
The Doctor: Really? In that case you may expect several more, on a variety of matters in the near future. (edit)

Goof: During many of the fight scenes between the smaller Kazon ships and Voyager, the star field seems to indicate that the ships are at warp. However, Voyager's nacelles are not in their angled, warp position. Furthermore, later, Janeway says to accelerate to 1/2 impulse. If they were at warp, that would be slowing down.
(edit)
Goof: When the Doctor is projected into space, he is able to yell. However, in the vacuum of space, his voice shouldn't make any sound.
(edit)
Goof: Kate Mulgrew messes up a line slightly. After the Doctor submits his idea to project holographic ships into space, Janeway says to Torres, "Work on the Doctor with it, B'Elanna" instead of "Work with the Doctor on it."

Basics (1)Good "Exciting" Basics is an exciting episode. If you can look past the gapping plot holes that plaque many of the episodes in the series, you will find a worthwhile cliffhanger that unfortunately doesn’t deliver on the backend. Continue » Posted Sep 12, 2005 9:22 am PST |
