    • Trivia
      First appearance of veteran Star Trek actor Vaughn Armstrong in the Voyager series. Amstrong is probably best known for his recurring role as admiral Forrest in Star Trek: Enterprise (2001). This is also his first time playing a Romulan in a Star Trek series after having played Klingons and Cardassians in Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993). He would go on to make four more appearances in Voyager, playing a Borg, a Vidiian, a Hirogen and a Klingon.

      At 14:10 Janeway orders soup and spinach juice from the replicator. The style of the glass containing the juice changes from shot to shot.
    • Quotes

      Telek R'Mor: You've matched your data transmission to the phase amplitude of our comm signal?

      Captain Kathryn Janeway: Exactly.

      Telek R'Mor: Apparently our intelligence operatives are *not* doing their job. You clearly have technology that we are unaware of.

    Promise Denied
    This is an intriguing episode. Of course, there is profound loneliness on the part of the crew. They face the possibility of never seeing their loved ones again. When a tiny wormhole is discovered, many possibilities rear their heads. It is discovered that the passageway is much too small for Voyager to get through. Now things get creative. When a connection is made with the other side, a Romulan, they believe they can send individual messages to their homes and loved ones. Then Torres finds a way to transport objects and potentially crew members. But not without pitfalls. We also get to embrace one of the best characters, the holographic Doc.
