I think the worm thing in Good Shepard was longer than the one in Conspiracy. I don't remember thinking they looked at all the same. But maybe I was too busy looking for the moving cursor on the escape pod's montior.
Does this mean I'm going to have to re-watch that episode to figure this out?

I'd at least give it a try. The species looked extremely similar (the legs and head and everything). If there is no dialogue about it, fine, that's the writer's "fault", but maybe the art departement thought it would be cool to throw in such a reference.

Maybe the signal would have been able to contact *something* outside the galaxy, but who says you have to phone Hongkong just because you can do it? Data could have had just the basic direction of the signal, nothing specific.

"DQ"? Dairy Queen?!? Man, that explains sooo much!
I doubt that the writers on Voyager ever made intentional connections to TNG....or anything else! I've read several interviews with the Voyager writers where comments werre made like "I really haven't watched many of the TOS/TNG/DS9/completed third grade". Crap like that really made me want to tune in next week.....much like Barga "admitting there were a few poopy episodes of Enterprise"!
No professional should demean all the people working on a complex, high quality show like Enterprise with comments like the ones he made. Bakula should give him one of his patented "Quantum Leap Roundhouse kicks"!

? "Yeah, we made a few mistakes." vs. "EVERY EPISODE IS PERFECT. WATCH TREK MONKEYS. AND DANCE FOR US. DANCE." Curious.
Also, "Distant Origin" is a fine Voyager episode, and I would be happy including it in the "Good Star Trek" column when the final judgement arrives.
Also, it is ironic that the Voth are probably one of the few species in the Galaxy who could go toe to toe with the Borg, at least for awhile. Transporting starships = Do Not Mess With.

How do you figure he demeaned everyone? He didn't say the acting was bad, or the sets, or the special effects, or anything like that. He said it was the stories that didn't work. And, since he was the one who (co-)wrote the stories, it seems like he's pretty much directing it at himself.

Yeah. That's one of the few times the Encyclopedia is consistent throughout about vowels in a foreign name. Hanson is always Hanson, the Hansens are always the Hansens. There's no "Noonian/Noonien" ambiguity about it.
This thing about "Good Shepherd" is really intriguing. I never saw the episode, sort of glossed over it in net reviews, and never got a good look at the bugs in the promo shots available at Vidiot's and elsewhere. Does anybody have a good picture available?

I have enough time under my belt managing large projects (that many people have worked on)to know how much morale drops when a leader or supervisor publicly says deragatory statements. Who really gives 100%, when you know that the big boss may one day trash the project you and everyone else are working hard on? I wonder how Bakula and the other cast members feel about that comment? You just know that some interviewer will call them on it. Probably on national T.V., no less!
