Storyline

- TriviaIn the beginning of this episode, Tom Paris and Harry Kim try to guess Tuvok's age unsuccessfully, and unfortunately Tuvok never reveals his real age. According to the Official Star Trek Chronology, the events of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991), which was also depicted in Flashback (1996) occurred in the year 2293. In "Flashback", Tuvok told Captain Janeway he was 29 years old when he served on the USS Excelsior, which would put his birth year at 2264. Assuming this episode took place in 2376 (Star Trek: Voyager (1995) takes place between 2371 and 2378), this would place Tuvok's age at 112 years during this episode.
- GoofsAs Voyager fires on Alice, the Doctor informs the Captain that she must stop because they are disrupting Tom's neural pathways. At this time, they had not made any sort of connection to Tom or Alice. There is no way for the Doctor to have that detail of information just from scanning a shielded ship.
- Quotes
Harry Kim: Bad day at the office?
B'Elanna Torres: Bad night with Tom Paris. - You're his best friend, right?
Harry Kim: So he tells me.
B'Elanna Torres: So maybe you can explain why every time he finds a new hobby, I go right out the airlock.
Harry Kim: I wouldn't take it personally. The Ferengi call it the Five Stages of Acquisition: Infatuation, Justification, Appropriation, Obsession and Resale. Seems like you've only got one stage left before he loses interest in that ship, and he's all yours again.
B'Elanna Torres: Until the next infatuation.
- ConnectionsReferences Christine (1983)
When the show begins, a galactic junk peddler comes to do business with Voyager. Inexplicably, Paris insists that they buy what appears to be a junky old shuttle. Once they do, he begins to spend every waking moment restoring the ship--at the exclusion of all else. Soon it becomes obvious that the machine has a sick hold over Paris--one that might even allow it or him to kill in order to keep them together!
The plot is just ridiculous and is yet another reason to hate the Tom Paris character. He's a shallow man-child and this show doesn't do anything to say otherwise. Not terrible...but not good in any way.
