    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Made obvious in several scenes in this episode (and The Swarm (1996), for that matter), Robert Picardo, the Doctor, is an accomplished singer. While he was at Yale University, he was a member of the Society of Orpheus and Bacchus, the second longest running undergraduate a Capella group in the United States. Then in 1977, he made his Broadway debut. He appeared in Gemini (1977) and Tribute (1980).
    • Goofs
      When the Doctor is briefing Ensign Paris about the duties in Sick Bay, he says he'll be within com range for about a month. This is inaccurate because at the end of season 2 during "Resolutions" it's been established that Voyager can only remain within com range for 36 hours.
    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Seven of Nine: I have something for you.

      The Doctor: What is it?

      Seven of Nine: Fan mail.

      The Doctor: Delete it. I don't want to read another word.

      Seven of Nine: Then I'll read it for you.

      The Doctor: Seven...

      Seven of Nine: [reads] "Dear Doctor. I regret that your last performance was not as successful as you'd hoped. There are still those who appreciate your unique talents, and admire you as an individual. I'll always consider myself your loyal fan."

      The Doctor: Who's it from?

      Seven of Nine: It's signed, "Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01."

      [Seven hands the Doctor the PADD and leaves sickbay. The Doctor reads through it again, then starts singing "I've Been Working on the Railroad"]

    The Doctor deals with fame and fandom
    The Doctor has an opportunity to start a new life as a singer on a planet of obsessive opera fans.

    Fame, fandom and his own self worth are explored in comedic and dramatic moments. Robert Picardo is excellent as always and so are Katie Mulgrew and Jeri Ryan as they take their characters through this dilemma.

    This episode is best when is pokes fun of the celebrity ego and obsessive fan behaviour. The scenes dealing with fan mail, groupies and The Doctor's demands prior to performance are very enjoyable.

    Unfortunately when things get a bit more dramatic I struggle to take it seriously. Tom Paris says at one point "Doc you're not really gonna do this are you?", which for me is the problem. Nobody could honestly consider he would actually do what he's contemplating. Maybe if they'd executed the romantic subplot better you might have wondered, but his feelings for the individual come a bit out of the blue.

    Overall I enjoyed it, but mainly due to the performances.
