Trivia
Robert Picardo and Jeri Ryan did at least some of their own singing, including the duet "You Are My Sunshine."

Goofs
When Seven of Nine sings the vocal exercise with the Doctor, the display screen shows a "simple melody." The letters say that the melody consists of the notes "A C E C D B A G A." This does not correspond to the music notation displayed on the screen, which shows the melody containing C sharps and G sharps. Seven sung it as such.

Quotes
B'Elanna Torres: [reading Seven's study of her and Tom from a PADD] 'Stardate 52647, 1400 hours: Subjects quarrel in corridor outside female's quarters. Male returns with twelve flowering plant stems, species rosa rubifolia, effecting a cessation of hostilities. Stardate 52648, 0300 hours: Intimate relations resume.' - How the hell do you know when we're having intimate relations?
Seven of Nine: There is no one on deck nine, section twelve, who *doesn't* know when you're having intimate relations.

Is that an observation or diagnosis?

The Doctor instructs Seven of Nine in a more complex social interaction.

This is a strong episode with great humour and character moments.

For me this is one of the better comedy episodes, as the jokes are well written and fairly prolific. There is a great mix of awkward social interactions, funny dialogue, sight gags, and fish-out-of-water situations involving Seven.

The writer deserves as much credit as the filmmakers for providing funny material that is not traditionally Star Trek, particularly with a lack of sci-fi focus. It does however embody the values associated with the show such as celebrating the difference of its characters. I appreciate this will depend on your own sense of humour, as comedy is in the eye of the beholder.

Robert Picardo and Jeri Ryan are key to its success as they display impressive comic timing and excellent chemistry in their scenes together. Some of their more heartfelt character exchanges work very well too. Star Trek usually does romance badly and they are supported well by the likes of Robert Duncan McNeill, Ethan Phillips, and Roxanne Dawson.
