Trivia
Robert Beltran lists this among his favorite episodes from the series.

Goofs
If Archer is Species 8472 and they are telepathic, one might expect her to know Chakotay is human by just hearing his thoughts. But the process of converting their DNA to human (or other Federation species) may mute the telepathy, which would potentially be desirable if the trainee infiltrators needed to get good at understanding how humans work without the 'cheat' of reading minds.

Quotes
Captain Kathryn Janeway: You've got Voyager's comm frequency; you know how to contact us. I hope we can keep this process alive.
Boothby: Don't call us, we'll call you.

Decent Episodes

Wouldve liked to see a better episode of this. They wae cool at first and then we get a cliche of Starfleet species 8472. I do like the actor Ray Watson tho so this made it better. Byt I wish it was different.
