Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Brannon Braga, The Adventures of Captain Proton holodeck program was influenced by Flash Gordon. Versions of the program also appear in Thirty Days (1998), Bride Of Chaotica! (1999), and Shattered (2001). In the prequel Cogenitor (2003), a title called "The Bride of Chaotica" is one of the movie options for the crew's movie night, indicating that the holodeck program is an interactive version of a (fictional) movie.
- GoofsWhilst Voyager heads toward the vortex, the Malon apparently disable Voyager's engines; however, when we see the exterior of the ship, both warp and impulse engines are undamaged and functioning normally. Not only that, just before Voyager enters the Vortex, Tom Paris tells the Captain that the engines are damaged and offline; yet, upon exiting the vortex moments later, Captain Janeway orders "Maintain course" even though Voyager has apparently not paused to fix the seriously damaged engines.
- Quotes
[Paris has asked Seven to join him on one of his 'Captain Proton' missions]
Seven of Nine: My designation?
Tom Paris: Ah, right. You're Constance Goodheart. You're... my secretary.
Seven of Nine: Secretary?
Tom Paris: Yeah, you tag along on all the missions. Now, I want you to keep the robot occupied, while I save Earth. Computer - run program.
Satan's Robot: Citizen of Earth, surrender. Do not resist.
Seven of Nine: I am Borg.
[opens the control panel of the robot and pulls out a few wires]
Satan's Robot: Surrennnnderrrr...
[shuts down]
Seven of Nine: The robot has been neutralized. May I leave now?

I thought this episode was a great beginning for Season Five. Yes, there were a few holes in the script-writing, but nothing worth mentioning, in my opinion. Unlike most Trekkies out there, I'm only now getting around to watching the Voyager series (on Amazon Prime). The writing for the series got dramatically better with the beginning of Season Four. I can only hope this upward arc continues. I look forward to watching the rest of Season Five.
