Notes

  • When the ship encounters a trans-dimensional disturbance, Phlox is forced to put the crew members into comas to keep them alive. (December 12, 2003 - TrekToday)

  • Only John Billingsley and Jolene Blalock were required for all seven days of the shoot. (December 15, 2003 - TrekToday)

  • Rick Berman: "It's a very spooky episode that enables us to take advantage of the wonderful John Billingsley." (January 20, 2004 - TrekToday)

  • John Billingsley: "I walk around naked — sweeps week, baby!" (January 21, 2004 - TrekToday)

  • John Billingsley on naked Phlox: "I have a spiny ridge glued onto my back. There are some striations painted down my front to match my face and hands. Of course, I was hoping there would be other appendages and protuberances, so that people would be walking around in slack-jawed admiration for the rest of the run of the show. After all, I have three wives. What does that suggest? What does that imply?" (February 18, 2004 - TrekToday)
