Trivia
Janeway says James T. Kirk claimed to have met Leonardo Da Vinci. This happened in Requiem for Methuselah (1969) when Kirk, Spock, and McCoy met a man named Flint, a 5000-year-old man from Earth, who claimed to have assumed the identity of many different artists throughout Earth's history, including Leonardo.

Goofs
When Voyager is trying to get the Captain back on board they're under attack with the shields up. It's been established that Voyager cannot transport anything through the shields. So they should not have been able to transport the Captain back to the ship.

Quotes
[da Vinci is baffled by the "magic" technology he has encountered]
Captain Kathryn Janeway: Let me ask you something. If you were something other than a human being, if you were a different kind of animal... If you were a small bird, a sparrow, what would your world be like?
Leonardo da Vinci: I should make my home in a tree, in the branch of an elm. I should hunt insects for food, straw for my nest, and in springtime I should sing for a companion.
Captain Kathryn Janeway: And you would know nothing of the politics of Florence, the cutting of marble, or mathematics.
Leonardo da Vinci: Of course not.
Captain Kathryn Janeway: But why not?
Leonardo da Vinci: My mind would be too small.
Captain Kathryn Janeway: As a sparrow, your mind would be too small, even with the best of teachers?
Leonardo da Vinci: If Aristotle himself were to perch on my branch and lecture till he... fell off from exhaustion... still the limits of my mind would prevent me from understanding.
Captain Kathryn Janeway: And as a man, can you accept that there may be certain realities beyond the limits of your comprehension?
Leonardo da Vinci: If I could not accept that... then I would be a fool.

Let's Get Back to Some Semblance of "Reality"

I'm really bored with Janeway's sojourns in the holodeck, working with Leonardo Da Vinci. Isn't it enough to pursue space pirates and try to get the ship back in shape without bringing an historical character our of the past. First of all, one has to really question the whole concept of this component of a fantasy world. It's neat they have it, but is it within the bounds of imagination, at least as sophisticated as this. And how does on get into the head of a character like the great Renaissance man. Mostly, I sort of dozed off because of the slow movement of this story.
