Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe prop for the allocator seen in Level Blue in this episode was later used as the drink dispenser in Enterprise NX-01's mess hall on Star Trek: Enterprise (2001).
- GoofsWhen Chellick restricts The Doctor to Level Blue, the Allocator transfers The Doctor around Level Blue as if Level Blue had holo emitters, but in fact the Allocator uses transport technology to move the Doctor's holotransmitter (and thus The Doctor) from place to place.
- Quotes
Adultress: You're a woman. You saw my husband with your own eyes: overweight, depressed; you would have left him too, especially if you had met someone as exciting as Gar.
Captain Kathryn Janeway: [unenthusiastic] Yes, he's very exciting.
Adultress: That's why you're looking for him, isn't it? You want him for yourself.
Captain Kathryn Janeway: I assure you, I have no romantic interest in him whatsoever.
Adultress: Why? Not good enough for you?
Captain Kathryn Janeway: No, it's not that, it's just that...
[she turns to Tuvok and grabs his hand]
Captain Kathryn Janeway: I already have a man.
I liked this commentary on health care--it has a lot of parallels to today and I am sure the writer intended this. In addition, it's a dandy episode and you'll like the way Neelix deals with the thief. And, if you do watch it, look for Larry Drake (a regular on "LA Law" and in the "Darkman" films) as well as Jim O'Heir (Larry/Gerry/Terry/Gary from "Parks and Recreation) in one of his first roles. He's under a lot of make-up--so listen for his voice as he plays a man crying about losing his wife.
