    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Towards the end of the episode, suggestions of "a western" and "a detective story" are made by the crew in the mess hall. Both were running gags on the Enterprise holodecks of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987).
    • Goofs
      Seska left the ship around stardate 48658.2 (in State of Flux (1995)) but, according to Torres, Seska modified the holo-program on stardate 48671.
    • Quotes
      • Captain Janeway: [on Tuvok's refusal to continue his unfinished holo-novel] I'm more than just a captain. I'm the leader of a community, and communities need entertainment, culture, creative outlets. Since we're not exactly privy to every new piece of music or holo-novel that's written back home, I think it's only natural that we should start creating our own.
      • Commander Chakotay: Besides, Tuvok, if the crew doesn't get an ending, you may have a real mutiny on your hands.
