Storyline

- TriviaThe window Crewman Harren looks out of in the first scene is not on the miniature or CGI models of Voyager, and was added specifically for this episode. In later shots of Voyager's underside, the window is not there.
- GoofsWhen the Delta Flyer was first introduced on the show, it was obvious some of the prop monitors were 20th century flat-panel LCD screens, probably connected to computers running the graphics. In this episode, when they are in the back of the Delta Flyer preparing lunch, one of these monitors appears to have a Windows 98 error dialogue box open.
- Quotes
Tal Celes: Well, just don't trust me with the analysis. I guarantee I'll get it wrong.
Captain Kathryn Janeway: Well, with that attitude, I'm sure you will.
Tal Celes: This has nothing to do with attitude, Captain. You and I are wired differently. To you, this is nothing but data. To me, it-it's a monster with-with fangs and claws.

GOOD SCIENCE IS RARE IN SCI-FI
Star Trek writers and fans have an innate assumption that science should be left to canon and timeline experts, rather than exploration of real scientific theory or practice. In the episode of the "Good Shepherd," we find a rare glimpse of real scientific dialogue somewhat.
While real science didn't seem to have any significant impact on making this episode memorable, it did not hurt. So much for natural assumptions. Instead we have three crewmen in this plot being unwillingly groomed for higher Star Fleet aspirations. Despite these crewmen's respective talent (or lacking); they're not very ambitious or enthused about this Away Mission.
An inadvertent problem occurs that will test them like they've never considered. Working together and utilizing each other's strength makes them a formidable foe, against all odds. It also makes this rare approach, on average, par for the course. It was typically episodic as sci-fi formats go.
