Two STUPID STUPID things: When the hypochondriac is laid onto the Delta Flyer's biobed, LOOK AT THE SCREEN ON THE BED!! There's a bloody Windows (or Macintosh) context menu! Some huy just pressed the right mouse button! This is just too ridiculous for words!
Also, when Theory Man (or someone else) looks at a display, YOU CAN SEE THE MOUSE ICON!!
Does this prove Voyager is operated by Macs?
Obbiously, there wasn't time/money to do these scenes over, but it is very sloppy!

The other obvious blunder was when the camera panned back from theory-man at the beginning then out into space. The tiny little window it showed him looking out of has never been there (directly forward of the ventral phaser array) before and I doubt we'll ever see it again.
I did like the idea of Janeway getting sort of lost on the lower decks though and of all the crewmen being surprised to see her down there.

Well someone already pointed out the MacIntosh mouse cursor on the escape pod computer. But this is the first I've heard about the biobed thing.

I don't know if I'd qualify this as one of Voyager's best episodes. The plot seemed highly contrived and I'm still not sure what the hell that thing that was chasing the flyer was.
There were some good one liners in it.

The thing that makes up for all this is the fact that Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello (damn he's good) played a nice little role (the guy telling Janeway how to get to theory-man).
Oh, yes, I almost forgot about the magical window.
Another pro was the first glimpse of deck fifteen, with the narrow corridors and the final bit of the M/ARA (but, should it still be glowing blue there?) Also, AFAIK, this is one of the few occasions in the TNG era we get to see NCOs.
The three aren't wearing pips, but also aren't wearing embroidered thingies, like O'Brien. Maybe they are only needed when the NCO is in his formal uniform and when he/she is on bridge duty.

I think Janeway's mind is slipping, in 'Relativity' she claimed to know the whole blueprint...

No, the Doctor is not intended to be a 'person' at all. He's an Emergency Medical Hologram, with no rank or grade. Only a position, wich is, in cases of emergency, (Chief) Medical Officer.
This makes me wonder: Does Starfleet see holograms like EMH's as sentient beings? I guess not, because for one thing, it is not allowed to have it's own will. Even I'm describing the EMH as an '�t'...

Like Data, HoloDoc will probably be declared sentient in a big hoopla. He will go to an OIS type school, become an officer and eventually command a Crusher Class Medical Cruiser.
