- TriviaOne of the few episodes in the series that doesn't end with a scene of Voyager flying through space.
- GoofsIn the holodeck simulation where they are cooking, Seven tells Chakotay that his technique is flawed and he should guide the food with his left hand, but when she goes to demonstrate, she in fact does the exact opposite, holding the food in one place with her left hand, while moving the knife laterally across the cutting surface.

Featured review
Neelix advises Seven that her carpet should match her drapes
Even though I think Seven is very good as a character, this episode is a little creepy. It's certainly understandable that Seven wants to discover her human and feminine side after experiencing the bleak and joyless life of a Borg drone for years. But the fact that she then throws herself at a Chakotay hologram and styles herself as a vamp in a red dress with flowing hair is a little over the top. And all these more or less subtle sexual innuendos like cutting carrots together... the writers of the episode got their blood pumping a little too much.
Of all the awkward moments, the scene in which Chakotay tries to convince Seven to play the piano with passion rather than technical precision is a compelling lesson in human emotions. Definitely a huge step up from her suggestion of hanging a picturesque painting of a star chart in her quarters instead of an everyday star chart.
But who would have thought that the Borg would be such spoilsports and not only begrudge their drones any form of emotional and physical pleasure but would also equip them with an anti-love fail safe device that would immediately fuse their circuits if there were signs of too much erotic lust. And instead of seeking treatment from the doctor, Seven would rather choose a life in which efficiency and perfection are the focus again and she is no longer distracted by unnecessary feelings.
Seven of One, so to speak. That's it for drapes and carpets, I guess.
