An anon removed the information on the episode's Dominion error. I was going to remove it, as it seems unlikely anyone would not know what the race killing your colleagues are, but I thought I'd get some people's opinion on it. It seems a bit long. -- Tough Little Ship 23:15, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

When Chakotay tells Torres of the Maquis' destruction, he mentions that the Cardassians had help from an unnamed race from the Gamma Quadrant. This line reveals two continuity errors on the parts of the writers: firstly, the Dominion are not a "race" but, as established on Deep Space Nine, an empire comprised of many separate species. Secondly, it seems odd that neither Chakotay nor Torres would have heard of the Dominion, considering that the first encounter with them in the DS9 episode "The Jem'Hadar" took place months before the events of "Caretaker" both in terms of transmission order and series chronology.
