Seska is back and poised to help destroy Voyager--and Chakotay. "Star Trek: Voyager"

Guest Stars:

Notes:
  • Seska left with the Kazon Nistrim in the first season episode "State of Flux".

  • B'Elanna and Chakotay play hoverball together.

  • A new protocol was to be implemented on stardate 48423, two months after Voyager left Deep Space Nine.

  • Cargo Bay 2 is on Deck 4.

  • Differences in the shape of the ship can destabilize warp fields.

  • The Kazons now have a transporter module from the Voyager.

  • Seska is in the process of restoring her Cardassian physiology; she has regained some of her head bumps and eliminated the Bajoran nose ridges.

  • Feedback loops in shields can destabilize tractor beam emitters.

  • The Voyager's transporter module contains a Quantum Resonance Oscillator.

  • Chakotay, B'Elanna, and Seska were involved in doing something with a Cardassian frigate orbiting Bajor. Seska used an Anti-Proton beam at very close range.

  • Seska was B'Elanna's best friend, or so B'Elanna thought.

  • Haron is the First Maje of the Kazon Relora.

  • Haron knew Culluh's grandfather, or at least of him.

  • Women are not regarded as important in the Kazon society.

  • A green band is worn by the First Maje of the Kazon Relora. Other Majes may have similar decortions.

  • The Relora are sworn enemies of the Nistrim.

  • Janeway wanted a complete security review by 2200 hours.

  • Kazon sects do not help each other.

  • The Kazon sects known thus far: Ogla ("Caretaker"), Sari (Paramount Press Info), Nistrim ("State of Flux"), Relora, Hobii, Mostral, and Oglamar.

  • Jal Sankur once united the Kazon sects.

  • Interesting note: The shot of the shuttlecraft approaching the Kazon ship is reversed: the reverse of "74656 USS Voyager" can be seen on the side of the shuttle.

  • One can use a coherent polaron pulse to detect a very close ship which sensors cannot usually detect.

  • Kazons using towing emitters as their tractor beams.

  • "Enemy's Blood" is a Kazon drink.

  • Tom Paris is twice referred to as "Conn".

  • Seska has a little mole on her stomach.

  • 2E9km/sec is very fast.

  • Other Majes are Jal Surat of the Mostral, Jal Lorah of the Hobii, and Jal Valek of the Oglamar.

  • The Relora and the Ogla are, or at least were, the leading sects of the Kazons.

  • Janeway knows her evasive maneuvering patterns: Omega-3, Delta-4, and Omega-2 are used in this episode.

  • It's still only been 10 month since "Caretaker".

  • Chakotay is now on report, "in case that means anything anymore".

  • Seska impregnated herself with Chakotay's DNA. He is going to be a father!

  • This is the fifth episode this season in which the Voyager has lost a shuttlecraft. They must only cost a week's replicator rations. The others were: "Initiations" (Chakotay), "Non Sequitur" (Harry), "Parturition" (Tom and Neelix), and "Tattoo" (Chakotay). The First Officer seems to have a pretty bad track record with these things.
The Stars Speak:
  • From a Prodigy chat:
    Q: Which is your favorite Voyager episode?
    Robert Beltran: The one that hasn't aired yet. It's going to air on Monday, November 20th, and it's called "Maneuvers." I can't really say much more than that, except that I think everyone will enjoy it.
Chakotay's Former Intimate Drops A Bombshell On Him

"Maneuvers" -- Kazon intruders board the U.S.S. Voyager and steal a Transporter control module. That collateral enables their leader, Culluh, to persuade rival sects to join together to conquer the Federation ship. Surprisingly, the mastermind behind the Kazon's scheme is an advisor with Cardassian, Maquis, and Starfleet tactical experience--none other than Seska, the despised traitor and former intimate of Chakotay--on "Star Trek: Voyager" airing MONDAY, NOV. 20 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET/PT) on UPN.

When Chakotay learns that Seska devised the Kazon plot, he secretly sets out alone--against protocol--to thwart her. The Kazon are one step shead of him and he's quickly captured and brutally interrogated. With their First Officer in the hands of the enemy, the Voyager crew braces for a dramatic showdown, but Seska has more than one trick up her sleeve.
