Storyline

While Janeway visits her da Vinci holodeck program, raiders loot Voyager, transporting everything from the main computer core to emergency rations to even the dirty laundry. Tracking their stolen property to a trade outpost, Janeway is shocked to find her da Vinci holodeck character living there, wearing The Doctor's mobile emitter. He believes it is America and tells her he has been hired by the Prince as an inventor. With da Vinci's help, she gets the computer core back, but the 'Prince' and his men chase them into the hills, where da Vinci's newest invention awaits to help them fly away.

Trivia

Janeway's holodeck program alters a few details from Leonardo Da Vinci's life. While the scientist and artist did leave Florence towards the end of his life, he spent five years in Milan and three in Rome before receiving and accepting the invitation of King Francis I to relocate to France.

Goofs

When da Vinci looks for his pen in his workshop and points down at the table, Tuvok freezes him. After Tuvok beams away, da Vinci has slightly shifted position, holding his hand visibly higher over the table than when he froze in his movement.

User Reviews

Charming

I don't get the hate. I love Jonathon Rhys-Davies and I appreciate seeing how Captain Janeway decompresses during her rare downtime. "Get back to reality"??! We're watching sci-fi! Have fun & enjoy the adventure!
