Trivia / Star Trek: Voyager S6 E3: "Barge of the Dead"

• Cast the Runner-Up: Karen Austin, who plays B'Elanna's mother Miral, had been on the shortlist to play Janeway, but lost out to Geneviève Bujold, then to Kate Mulgrew.
• Creator's Apathy: This turned out to be the last episode in which fan favorite writer Ron Moore was involved. He quit due to the immense apathy he found within the creative process on the show. The last straw was when he asked what B'Elanna's reaction would be to a situation, and the response he got was "I don't know, do what you want."
• What Could Have Been: Was originally a DS9 script (specifically "Soldiers of the Empire"), which was rejected for being "too complex."
• You Look Familiar: Karen Austin had previously appeared on Deep Space Nine as Dr. Kalandra in the season five episode "Nor the Battle to the Strong."
