Trivia
Neelix actor Ethan Phillips cited this one among five "Best of Neelix" installments.

Goofs
At the start, Neelix and Tuvok are returning to the Voyager, so they should be in space. As the camera zooms in on Nelix, one can clearly see the door of the shuttle bay in the background. (That sounds all well and good except the camera never zooms in on Neelix and no shuttle bay door can be seen, "clearly" or otherwise, in the background.)

Quotes
[Tuvok is in a coma]
The Doctor: There have been rare cases in which comatose patients responded to external stimuli - aromas, touch, voices.
Neelix: So, you're saying that if I stay here, and... and try to talk to Tuvok, I might be able to provoke some sort of response?
The Doctor: If anyone can provoke Tuvok, Mr. Neelix, it's you.

Which Way Would You Have Wanted It?

Tim Russ as Tuvok does a nice performance as the overly serious Vulcan, suddenly bereft of his basic personality and being. An assault by an alien force has damaged him, and he must be retaught. He becomes childlike and joyous, but it is not him. Neelix shows great compassion, but must make a huge sacrifice. This is quite touching without being maudlin.
