For the record, "Rascals" and "Genesis" are two of my favorite eps.

I love lower decks for a few reasons: Nurse Ogawa! Taurik becomes Vorik, a recurring character on Voyager. I guess technically they are different characters, but I like to think they are the same, just like Nick Locarno and Tom Paris.

Speaking of Nick Locarno, Sito was originally from that episode! It's a clever call back, and it sort of validates her missteps from the academy to give her life in the line of duty.

I always wondered what happened to Sam, though.
