* InternalDeconstruction: The MindMeld has been used in past Star Trek stories as a cure-all resolution, simply get what you want from a person by reading their mind. This episode is a cautionary tale, however powerful a Vulcan mind is Tuvok finds himself shaken in having to deal with Suder's psyche.
Added DiffLines:
* PersonalitySwap: In the mind meld Suder becomes more sedate and relaxed, commenting that he recognizes his violent impulse but is more distant and manageable. Tuvok, in turn, becomes increasingly unhinged and unable to manage his emotions.
