* ImpossibleGenius: Quite a few reviewers wondered why the crew [[MadScience didn't just transwarp back to the Alpha Quadrant regardless]], given the Doctor's miraculous ability to restore them from an amphibious state. Though given the stress the transwarp flight put on the shuttle, it's possible ''Voyager'' wouldn't have survived.

* FTLTestBlunder: Paris figures out transwarp traveling, which might get the ship back to the Alpha Quadrant. After a seemingly successful test, he has an allergic reaction to water and starts de-evolving into a salamander/lizard/catfish creature. And then things get ''very'' weird.

Tom Paris manages to use the holodeck to create an experimental way to travel at Transwarp, a way of travelling [[LudicrousSpeed infinitely fast]] that would allow the ship to get home instantly. Unfortunately, after doing it for real he's first knocked unconscious, then becomes allergic to ''water,'' then begins rapidly changing into a lizard-like creature. After the Doctor determines that the transformation is an accelerated form of evolution caused by the infinitely fast travel, he escapes, kidnaps Janeway, and goes at Transwarp again. The rest of the crew find them a few days later, both fully changed into lizards and even having a litter together. Luckily, the Doctor's managed to create a cure. As for why they then don't put ''Voyager'' through Transwarp and then use the cure on everyone before they can transform...uh, look over there!
