	This episode was initially planned as a two-hour telemovie, but Braga and Menosky decided while writing part one that it would work better as a single hour. By the time the compressed version of the script was finished, their opinions had turned around again - but it was too late to re-expand the story.
	The visual effect for the subspace corridor was a redress of the quantum slipstream effect, except for a change in color and some added debris.
	Janeway and Gedrin, while speaking in the ready room, are visually split by one of the rectangular lights, similar to the framing of a scene between Janeway and Tuvok in VOY: "Caretaker", also directed by Winrich Kolbe.
	Footage from this episode was later reused in the alternate opening theme for Star Trek: Enterprise used in the Season 4 episodes "In a Mirror, Darkly" and "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II". Specifically, the attack on the Vaadwaur city in the teaser is reframed as a Terran ship firing on an alien world.
