Laugh rule:
[Memory Alpha; Wayback] The continuity section of the article on one of the least continuous Voyager episodes (and that's saying something).

Tuvok mistakenly has his commander pip in the past. He did not earn this promotion until the fourth season episode "Revulsion". Although this is technically a continuity error, it is actually consistent as Tuvok was mistakenly shown wearing a commander's pip throughout the first half of season one.

{{Also:}}

This brings the total number of torpedoes confirmed to have been used by Voyager over the course of the series to 66, a total which exceeds the irreplaceable complement of 38 that had been established by Chakotay in the first-season episode "The Cloud".

There is a blanket [cw: illness] on the rest of this post.

[WordPress (Tumblr)] (OP by hip-shop) While there are many aspects of Canadian culture I wholeheartedly embrace, taking your shoes off in strangers' homes is not one of them, and I do in fact have reasons.

Choice quote:

This is all going to get worse before it gets better – but the good news here is that it really is going to get better. Keeping your head down, wearing masks and keeping your distance is more valuable than ever, because there’s an actual finish line in sight that you have to reach. Hang on for the vaccine – for the vaccines – because they really are coming.
