Trivia
Made obvious in several scenes in this episode (and The Swarm (1996), for that matter), Robert Picardo, the Doctor, is an accomplished singer. While he was at Yale University, he was a member of the Society of Orpheus and Bacchus, the second longest running undergraduate a Capella group in the United States. Then in 1977, he made his Broadway debut. He appeared in Gemini (1977) and Tribute (1980).

Goofs
When the Doctor is briefing Ensign Paris about the duties in Sick Bay, he says he'll be within com range for about a month. This is inaccurate because at the end of season 2 during "Resolutions" it's been established that Voyager can only remain within com range for 36 hours.

Loved the Qomar!

The Doctor is so susceptible to flattery. The Qomar, perhaps the snobbiest and hard to like aliens ever, hear the Doc singing, "I Been Working on the Railroad." Since they've never heard of music, they are utterly taken with his voice. This makes him put aside his animus toward them and embrace their compliments. He is soon the new Enrico Caruso of this part of the galaxy. It turns out, however, that there is more to his gig than simple adulation. Quite funny, but an oddity to say the least.
