Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis episode's opening scene, in which Harry Kim and Tom Paris hold an idle conversation before Chakotay calls them to the bridge, was filmed as part of Death Wish (1996), but later edited out and reused here due to its generic nature.
- GoofsAs a Vulcan, Mr. Tuvok would presumably not be susceptible to the psychological effects of fear and could have intervened in the environment of the simulation. A similar situation arose in Spectre of the Gun (1968), in which the Enterprise NCC-1701 crew were forced into a recreation of the gunfight at the OK Corral in Arizona in 1881. Recognizing that these images were entirely fictitious and therefore could do him no harm, Mr. Spock had no fear, and the gunfighters could do him no harm.

Classic Episode!
It's funny, back when this first came out, I disregarded it. I couldn't stand the clown costumes or the behaviour and acting. I remember thinking it was a cheap looking episode made in a quickly designed set in a studio. Well, maybe some of that is still true, but hey, once you overlook that and try the episode out it's actually quite good! Classic sci fi for sure... the Matrix meets a horror show. I felt like our characters took a journey to Hell... a virtual Hell. That plus there was a good use of a "fear" theme throughout the story and how it's sort of symbolic of what we all go through, and how we deal with fear, and overcome it... anyways, this turned out to be a great episode! Funny it took me twenty years to realize it.
