YATI :

When LaForge is messing about in one of the ship's Jeffries tubes, he gets a torch out and uses it to let him see into a junction box. A torch? Mister 'I can see across the whole electromagnetic spectrum and have a built in telescope and microscope' needs to use a torch?

Great Moment :

It was nice that the Cytherians turned out to have good intentions after all, though I'm a bit dubious about the morality of their methods - essentially they do pretty much what Voyager's Caretaker did.

Body Count :

Zero.

Factoid :

The shuttlecraft Feynman seen in this episode is named for physicist and Nobel laureate Richard P. Feynman.

Quote :

"Young children are sometimes frightened of the world. That doesn't mean that their parents should let them stay in their cribs." - Barclay to Troi.
