Both Megan Gallagher and Fritz Sperberg guest-starred in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Gallagher played Mareel in "Invasive Procedures" and Faith Garland in "Little Green Men". Sperberg played Ixtana'Rax in "One Little Ship".
   
Robert Picardo performed many of Jeri Ryan's scenes as the "possessed" Seven of Nine on videotape so that Ryan could study his elocution and movements and more accurately mimic him.
   
This episode was a rewriting assignment for freelance writers Mike Sussman and Phyllis Strong. Their work on the teleplay led to an invitation by showrunner Ken Biller to join the Voyager writing staff as Story Editors.
   
Ranek's line: "I've never met a woman like you before," and the Doctor/Seven's reply, "That's because there are no women like me" was an homage to a similar exchange in the 1982 Dustin Hoffman comedy Tootsie, which also involved crossdressing.
   
This is the final episode Robert Duncan McNeill directs for Voyager.
   
The uniforms of the Lokirrim officers were re-used for Jonathan Frakes' 2000 science fiction pilot film Star Patrol. Robin Morselli appeared in both productions.
   
The comet which appears at the beginning of the episode is the one from the DS9 Opening Title Sequence.
