Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTom Wright was eager to pursue the role of Tuvix when he first heard about it. While he had not previously watched Star Trek: Voyager (1995), he was acquainted personally with Tim Russ and Ethan Phillips, having often auditioned for the same roles as the former and having appeared in a play with the latter. When he originally read for the role, knowing little about Tuvok and Neelix, Wright instead based his portrayal on his knowledge and experience of Russ and Phillips.
- GoofsThough he is the more senior officer, Lieutenant Hogan addresses Ensign Kim as 'Sir'. This is because whilst Hogan is senior in rank, Kim is a Bridge Officer and part of the command crew. In this instance, Hogan is addressing Kim's seniority by position not by the rank on his collar.
This has been long held in terrestrial armies and navies for centuries up into the current times. An Officer In Command (OIC) is deferred to even though their actual held rank may be lesser. It is done to keep the command structure of the vessel intact.
- Quotes
[the Doctor has come up with a solution to separate Neelix and Tuvok]
The Doctor: I assure you, Mr. Tuvix, there's nothing to worry about. We've accounted for every variable.
Tuvix: Except one. I don't want to die.

Featured review
An encapsulation of how Trek died without Roddenberry's influence
Gene Roddenberry, never in a million years, would have allowed the resolution in this episode. His Trek was uplifting and moral, not ends-justify-the-means cold brutality.
Even Spock, who Bones always accused of having ice water for blood, would have shown more intelligence, morality, and compassion than the Voyager crew does in this one.
As someone else said, this is a very sick episode. Not only is it not Trek, it's not good sci-fi, considering the lengths to which the series goes to portray those involved as protagonists.
