	Bairbre Dowling (who played Edith Mulchaey) is the ex-wife of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine star Colm Meaney (Miles O'Brien).
	Michael Sullivan giving Kathryn Janeway a copy of The Faerie Queene, insinuating that the townfolk believe her to be the pixie queen, is actually accurate in a sense: Kate Mulgrew voiced "Lady Titania" on the television cartoon series "Gargoyles".
	In this episode, Tom Paris says, "So much for my open-door policy," however, it was actually Neelix who suggested the "open door protocol" to Captain Janeway in the episode, "Fair Haven".
	Also in "Fair Haven", when discussing the rewriting of the program, Paris and Janeway say it will take six or seven weeks to complete. The two episodes are six apart numerically and were originally aired six weeks apart.
	In the final dialogue of the episode, Sullivan tells Janeway that knowing a spirit's true name renders one impervious to their charms, but Janeway insists that she doesn't believe a word of it. In "Fair Haven" she restricts herself access to his matrix, so he is, in effect, impervious to her charms.
