- TriviaThe eight-ball that Janeway sinks was performed by Kate Mulgrew herself.
- GoofsOn the Bridge, Tuvok privately communicates with Ensign Kim that as a senior officer he has to set a good example for the Junior Officers. Kim is an Ensign, as junior an officer as you can get. Kim is a newly commission Ensign and would never be called a senior officer. To avoid the argument that he was thrust into that position after being transported into the Delta Quadrant, Kim took his position before that event. A 'senior officer' in Star Trek canon refers to the head of a department on a starship, and Ensign Kim is the head of Operations.

Featured review
A likeable if not great episode.
Searching for an alternative power source for Voyager, Janeway takes the starship inside what would seem to be a nebula - but the ship takes a number of hits, as it turns out that Janeway & others are sorely mistaken about what they've encountered. They soon set out to rectify the situation.
The story opens as Janeway is experiencing self-doubt, thinking about such things as keeping up crew morale, and possibly getting closer to her crew without losing her sense of authority on the starship.
There are various diversions here that are certainly pleasant, and at least somewhat relevant to the plot, as Paris has developed a holodeck program designed to look like a vintage pool hall / bar. There is also the interesting element here of Janeway connecting with Chakotay as the latter teaches her about getting in touch with her "animal guide", giving us some appreciated insight into his culture.
The overall story is certainly entertaining, with a number of emergency situations to contend with, but it doesn't leave much impact when all is said and done. Some of my favorite bits, though, include the conversations between Tom & Harry, and a HILARIOUS part where the Doctor has been put on "mute"!
I *will* say that I can understand viewer reservations about Neelix. Here, he's mostly a pest, albeit a pest that can be tolerated at times.
Seven out of 10.
