Boylen[]
who is the Boylen listed in the references.. a different person from the Boylen in "The Pegasus"? -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 17:13, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
- Boylen listed here is a Crewman on the USS Voyager, as stated by Seven of Nine: "Crewmen Boylen and White - frequently late for their duty shifts." However, my sources have this person as 'Boylan' (I changed the quote to prevent confusion). I know the apprehension of using closed captioning, but maybe somebody should check this episode if they have the Season 5 DVD.
Edit: In the entry for White, it states 'Boylan'.- Adm. Enzo Aquarius 17:19, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
Stuff[]
The ending is slightly vague -- was it just me, or does it imply Qatai is operating in league with the monster?
Is the monster in this perhaps a grown up version of the doomsday machine?
'The creature that stars in this episode is similar to a creature Worf described in TNG: "Where Silence Has Lease", that was said to "devour entire vessels."'
Wasn't that Nagilum, who experimented on people, but didn't eat them per se?
Fire Extinguisher Locker[]
I know it's OR, but: Qatai's ship has what I am certain is a 20th century fire extinguisher locker (One of the ones that is traditionally set into walls). It has the characteristic beige paint, and has a slit window that fits with every fire extinguisher locker I have ever seen. Is there any chance we could mention it? Links: An image of the type of fire extinguisher locker I am speaking of: http://www.iangarrott.com/fec.ht2.jpg Compare to this screengrab, near the end of the episode: [1]
- No. You may think it's a fire extinguisher locker but it could be a futuristic replicator - unless you have a source that states it's supposed to be a fire extinguisher then you can't post it as it would be a nitpick — Morder 23:59, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
- Beg to differ. It can be mentioned that a fire extinguisher box was used as a prop on the set. There is nothing wrong with that, it is not nitpicking. You can't state that in universe, it is intended to be a fire extinguisher box. --OuroborosCobra talk 05:00, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Script request[]
Does anyone have the script for this episode? I am just curious about it.

"The intelligent always survive."
"I wouldn't go that far. It appears to operate on highly-evolved instinct. I haven't detected any signs of sentience."
"Oh, he's intelligent alright. Smart enough to fool your crew into taking you off-line."
"No need to get personal."
- - Qatai and The Doctor

"Even if that lifeform is about to kill you?"

Neelix[]
Why was Neelix affected by the Pitcher Plant? I know that Seven of Nine and Naomi Wildman weren't affected because they didn't share the crew's desire to see Earth. Seven was afraid of prejudice, and Naomi was born on Voyager and never knew Earth. But Neelix isn't from Earth, either. He's not even from the Alpha Quadrant. Why would he share the crew's desire to see Earth? He never does anyway, since he eventually left Voyager in Homestead to be with his people. Scout1534 (talk) 16:01, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
