->This episode is once again about Janeway the Mary Sue. First we have this Harlequin thing going on down on the planet as she strives to find a cure while tempted by [[{{Hunk}} the chiseled native.]] Up on the ship, it's all about how much everyone misses them, even after months. I don't remember everyone being this upset for this long when Paris left. I don't remember anyone being this choked up over the many people who've died out here for this long. Just like in "Alliances" when Torres suddenly snaps at anyone who questions the captain [[NegativeContinuity while she herself had done so just the episode before]], ''(Executive Producer)'' Jeri Taylor presumes an importance about Janeway that just doesn't fit with what we've actually seen. Remember that this is a person who just last week killed a member of the crew! Also, recall [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration "The Best Of Both Worlds"]], in which Picard was taken from them, and Riker gives the order to destroy the ship anyway -- except for the guest star, none of the crew tries anything to stand in Riker's way, and this from a crew that knew Picard for far longer.

->The movie is directed by Larry Bishop, son of [[RatPack Rat Packer]] Joey Bishop. Larry also takes up the lead role of Pistolero... Pistolero is…well, he’s the man. Pistolero is supposed to be more badass than Jack Bauer and Steven Seagal combined, sexually he is John Holmes, charismatically he is Paul Newman and Steve [=McQueen=], and intellectually speaking he is Lex Luthor and Stephen Hawking.

The Bible of the PUA crowd seems to be Neil Strauss's The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists[wp] -- indeed, the book comes bound in leather with gold-leafed pages and a red silk ribbon. 'Mystery,' a PUA profiled in the book, claims "well-chosen props are a great way to focus a girl's attention on something else so she doesn't resist overt sexual moves."[6] Some of Mystery's "advice" for breaking down "last-minute resistance (LMR)" is fairly indistinguishable from date rape, while other techniques such as a "freeze out" truly leave the choice up to the woman.[7][8]

In ''Contemporary Authors'', H.H. composed a jbio bio for one of his pseudonyms, Robert Dietrich, taking ten years off his age, putting himself in the infrantry during Korea, awarding himself a Bronze Star and a degree from Georgetown."''\\

Just like in "Alliances" when Torres suddenly snaps at anyone who questions the captain [[NegativeContinuity while she herself had done so just the episode before]], ''(Executive Producer)'' Jeri Taylor presumes an importance about Janeway that just doesn't fit with what we've actually seen. Remember that this is a person who just last week killed a member of the crew! Also, recall "[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration "The Best Of Both Worlds"]], in which Picard was taken from them, and Riker gives the order to destroy the ship anyway -- except for the guest star, none of the crew tries anything to stand in Riker's way, and this from a crew that knew Picard for far longer."''\\
