	Since Voyager is shown to be travelling through normal space again, the crew's journey through the Nekrit Expanse must have come to an end sometime just prior to this episode.
	According to Robert Picardo, Brannon Braga wrote this episode after finding out that Picardo had played Eddie Quist, a psychopath/werewolf, in the 1981 movie The Howling.
	This episode gives us the first confirmation that holodeck characters are indeed hollow, possessing no internal structure.
	The Doctor ends the episode with an abridgement of the Hippocratic Oath.
