Trivia
The show's real-life production crew (office staff, hair and makeup technicians, grips, sound technicians, etc.) don uniforms and "man the rails" as Voyager's fictional crew.

Goofs
Talaxians use "geothermal energy" from an asteroid's core. Geothermal energy is the result of the gravitational collapse and radioactive decay inside the Earth. Asteroids are much too small to generate any practical amounts of geothermal energy. In any case, using the word "geothermal" for anything other than Earth is a misnomer, since "geo" means "Earth."

Quotes
Neelix: I'm not a fighter. I'm just a cook - who sometimes imagines himself to be a diplomat.
Tuvok: On the contrary, Mr. Neelix, you are much more than that. You are perhaps the most resourceful individual I have ever known.

Live long and prosper

Voyager encounters an asteroid containing a colony of Talaxians.

Neelix gets involved with other Talaxians who are being pushed out of their home by another race who intend to mine for ore. Some decent themes come out such as fighting for your freedom and the usual prime directive stuff.

This is an excellent Neelix episode with a plot that gives him plenty to do and develop the character. There are also great moments from other characters, with one in particular being one of the best scenes in the Voyager series.

It's difficult to write anymore without spoilers, so I'll just say I enjoyed all performances and was even slightly moved by the ending.
