Episode Behind the Scenes

TREKCORE > VOY > EPISODES > PATHFINDER > Behind the Scenes

This was the last episode of Star Trek to air in the 1990s.
   
The photo of Tom Paris on Admiral Paris' desk is actually a shot of Robert Duncan McNeill as Nicholas Locarno from TNG: "The First Duty". Interestingly, it is initially a reversed shot of him (showing the com badge on the wrong side) but during a close up, the image is still reversed but the comm badge has been moved to the other side.
   
This episode makes mention of all three of the live-action Star Trek spinoffs that existed at the time: Troi mentions the Enterprise being in orbit, Barclay mentions receiving information from Deep Space 9, and Pathfinder tries to contact Voyager.
   
The episode's trailer splices together bits of dialog to make it seem like Counselor Troi says "I've decided to ask Captain Picard for help."
