Trivia
The aria The Doctor sings in the teaser scene is Giuseppe Verdi's "La donna e' mobile" ("Woman is Fickle") from the third act of the opera Rigoletto. Legend has it that Verdi, afraid that the tune would get out before the premiere of the piece, withheld the aria from singer Raffaele Mirate until a few days before the premiere, and forbade him to sing, hum, or whistle it outside of rehearsals.

Goofs
A closeup of the rank pips as they appear on the Doctor's uniform shows that the CG tracking is off. The uniform beneath moves while the pips remain stationary.

Quotes
Voyager Computer: Warning. Last chance to be a hero, Doctor. Get going!

The Secret Life of Walter Doctor

This is another light hearted interruption to the more serious stuff. The Doctor has begun making demands due to his skill set. He sends a letter to Janeway, asking for promotions. Being a hologram, he has no status when it comes to Starfleet rank. He begins to daydream about doing all kinds of heroic things. A group of salvage ships that attack starships and steal their valuable cargo and technology has spotted them. But they are in for a surprise. A delightful episode.
