Storyline

- TriviaGedrin's statement, "When it rains, do you run from doorway to doorway, trying to stay dry, getting wet all the while, or do you just accept the fact that it's raining, and walk with dignity?" paraphrases a quote from "Hagakure" by Yamamoto Tsunetomo. This book is considered the most famous written work regarding samurai philosophy.
One translation of the original quote is as follows, "There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you will still get the same soaking. This understanding extends to everything."
- GoofsCaptain Janeway sends Tuvok on an away mission on the planet to assist with their escape. Once Voyager has cleared the atmosphere, Janeway calls for warp drive to escape the planet without first checking to see if Tuvok has transported back aboard the ship.

Gedrin: When it rains, do you run from doorway to doorway, trying to stay dry, getting wet all the while, or do you just accept the fact that it's raining, and walk with dignity?
Captain Kathryn Janeway: Rain's one thing. Plasma bombs are something else.
Gedrin: But the principle is the same.
Captain Kathryn Janeway: [pause] I'd bring an umbrella.

Since apparently 900 years isn't long enough for change, the aliens start right back where they left off and want to get right back into the fight. Since their ships are now hopelessly outdated, they have their eye on Voyager and are playing a double game from now on - but Janeway wouldn't be Captain Obvious if she hadn't seen through the mummery.
The idea of an aggressive civilization that disappeared from the scene for 900 years and now wants to regain its traditional place in the quadrant is not a bad idea. However, everything happens much too quickly. Having barely woken up from stasis, these crooks have nothing better to do than plan the next coup. Perhaps they should have first taken time to assess the current balance of power and how technology has changed during this time. With just a few hundred of their kind, even with Voyager's firepower, they would not be able to reconquer their former planets and colonies anyhow.
