[last lines]
Seven of Nine: I have something for you.
The Doctor: What is it?
Seven of Nine: Fan mail.
The Doctor: Delete it. I don't want to read another word.
Seven of Nine: Then I'll read it for you.
The Doctor: Seven...
Seven of Nine: [reads] "Dear Doctor. I regret that your last performance was not as successful as you'd hoped. There are still those who appreciate your unique talents, and admire you as an individual. I'll always consider myself your loyal fan."

One very odd thing is that the famous singer/song writer Paul Williams appears in this one but his part is very small. I saw a documentary about the guy recently and apparently he was struggling with addictions until he ultimately got straight and is now an addictions counselor. Perhaps this was during his chemically dependent period, as this would seem the only reason to have such an impressive guest and barely use him. Oh, and good luck to you, Mr. Williams!
