* As with George Takei, news that Grace Lee Whitney would be appearing in this episode was made available on the Internet before she even knew about the upcoming episode herself. At one point, Whitney met with Brannon Braga in his office and he advised her of some rewrites and script changes. (''[[Star Trek Monthly issue 16]]'') Whitney appreciated the largeness of her role in this episode. "''This is really great for me because I really have dialogue,''" she said, "''I have had an attitude, a purpose. I'm a lieutenant commander and I tell the ensign what to do!''" (''[[Star Trek: Communicator]]'', issue #108) Prior to filming on the set, Whitney was introduced to ''Voyager''{{'}}s cast and crew. She was excited to meet them and vice versa. (''[[Star Trek Monthly issue 16]]'') Whitney was also pleased to be working with George Takei again. Likening the episode to their work on ''Star Trek VI'', Whitney stated, "''To be back on the bridge with George, it's just deja vu. When you watch the monitor of us working, you can hardly tell the difference.''" (''[[Star Trek: Communicator]]'', issue #108)

* Having worked with Grace Lee Whitney not only on ''Star Trek VI'' but also on the original ''Star Trek'' series decades beforehand, George Takei experienced a sense of nostalgia
whilst
working on a bridge set with her again for this episode. Midway through production, Takei enthused, "''It's a glorious, glorious feeling to be in that circular configuration with Gracie there. And it's a funny thing–it doesn't feel like it's been 30 years when you're in that setting. It feels like it was just yesterday. {{w|Thomas Wolfe}} was wrong: you ''can'' indeed go home again, and it is so sweet!''" (''[[Star Trek: Communicator]]'', issue #108) Throughout the filming of this particular episode, Whitney's enthusiasm was evident to Takei. "''Grace Lee was on cloud nine the whole time,''" he offered. "''She's normally effervescent, and she was like an agitated champagne bottle on the set, spilling and bubbling all over the place. She had some wonderful things to do in the episode, and I was happy to have her beside me.''" (''[[The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine]]'', issue #9)
