    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Much of the metal ornaments on the Kazon costumes are pieces of hardware and tack for horses.
    • Goofs
      Janeway tells Mr. Neelix to take his shuttle to Sobras. A few scenes later we see a starfleet shuttle approaching the planet.
    • Quotes

      Lieutenant Tuvok: [allegorizing a potential alliance with the Kazon] This flower is a rare hybrid. As far as I know, it exists nowhere else in the galaxy. I created it by grafting a cutting from a South American orchid onto a Vulcan favinit plant. I doubted the graft would take; and indeed, the plant was sickly at first. However, after a few weeks, both plants adapted to their new condition, and, in fact, became stronger than either had been alone.

    Ok episode. Could have been better. But was still engaging and entertaining as presented.
    I like that this is an ensemble episode that explores the idea of Voyager forming an alliance with some other aliens in this seemingly darker region of space. I think it would have been a lot more interesting if some of the Kazon had died in the reveal at the end. Or if Voyager had at some point really taken-up an alliance with one of these alien species. I feel like this episode became average when it could have been great because they didn't make it a two parter and were scared of viewers losing track of some alliance formed with another alien species halfway through season 2.

    It's especially annoying for Janeway to talk about how Starfleet is too pure to form an alliance with these delta quadrant aliens given that they later align themselves with the borg.
