Trivia
Roxann Dawson (B'Elanna Torres) went into labor during the production of this episode. That is why B'Elanna is seen in Engineering towards the beginning of the show, but is strangely absent when Captain Janeway briefs the senior officers during the special meeting about Omega.

Goofs
Seven of Nine makes a personal log entry, but she gives the date as "Stardate 15781.2," transposing the first two digits. It should have been "Stardate 51781.2."

Quotes
[last lines]
Seven of Nine: For 3.2 seconds, I saw perfection. When Omega stabilized, I felt a curious sensation. As I was watching it, it seemed to be watching me. - The Borg have assimilated many species, with mythologies to explain such moments of clarity. I've always dismissed them as trivial. Perhaps I was wrong.
Captain Kathryn Janeway: If I didn't know you better... I'd say you just had your first spiritual experience.

Seven versus Janeway

Janeway knows of something called the Omega Directive. Apparently, there is a molecule that has immense power. It has been reproduced and is on the verge of a destructive vent. At first Janeway is quite secretive, but at the insistence of Chakotay, she changes her mind and lets her officers in. Seven has a different view of what to do because she is aware of Omega from the Borg's dealings with it. She butts heads with the Captain. She feels how inferior everyone is and is frustrated when they outrank her. Entertaining episode but leaves us wth unanswered questions.
