- Nitpick: On several occasions Janeway and Chakotay refer to the beings on the planets as aliens. However, they are native to the planet, and it is actually the Voyager crew that are the "aliens". edit »
- Nitpick: The Kazon that shoots Suder can briefly be seen to have used a Kazon weapon, but it fired a Starfleet orange beam, not the regular blue of Kazon weapons (like Suder had shown only moment earlier when he killed the engineering staff). edit »
- Nitpick: Despite there being at least two Boleans on Voyager's crew (Golwat and Chell), no one in any of the crowd scenes on Hanon IV has a blue face. edit »
- Nitpick: The Doctor asks the computer what the crew complement is. It counts up a number of Kazon and one Betazoid (Suder). It fails to count one Cardassian (Seska). edit »
- Seska: You are more talented in the art of deception than you led me to believe.
The Doctor: I was inspired by the presence of a master. edit » - Janeway: Take them to Neelix, and tell him to hold off on the beetle stew, at least for the time being. edit »
- The Doctor:(to self) Get a hold of yourself, you're not just a hologram, you're a Starfleet hologram. edit »
- Doctor: One hologram and one sociopath might not be much of a match for the Kazon, but we'll have to do. edit »
- Janeway: Huddle together in groups, that will preserve body heat. This is no time to be shy. edit »
- The Doctor: I'm a doctor, not a counter-insurgent. edit »
- Seska: Tell me, is it within your program's capabilities to lie, or be deceptive?
Doctor: I've learned that a bedside manner occasionaly requires me to, how shall I put it, soft pedal the truth. But bald faced lying, calculated deceit, I don't have much experience with that sort of thing. But, my program is adaptive, if you really need me to be deceptive, I'm sure I could learn. edit » - Janeway: Hogan was a fine officer and a good man, and our job is to make sure his death is the last one for a long time. edit »
- Tuvok: May you find in death the peace you never knew in life. edit »
- The Doctor: Sticks and stones won't break my bones, so you can imagine how I feel about being called names. edit »
- Chakotay: Trapped on a barren planet, and you're stuck with the only Indian in the universe who can't start a fire by rubbing two sticks together! edit »
- This episode brought an end to the Kazon storyline from seasons one and two, as the plan was to shift the series towards the return of the Borg. edit »
- This was the last episode written by Michael Piller, who left the franchise at the end of the second season to focus on non-Star Trek projects and the ninth Star Trek movie. edit »
