Removal of Background Note

I removed the following background note, because elements of it don't follow logically:

*138 crewmembers were brainwashed "the same day" by the Quarrens according to Annika Hansen. With Chakotay, Harry Kim, Neelix and the Doctor, the crew count would be 142, which contradicts the other information presented throughout this season (140 humans in "Lineage", 146 crewmembers in "Author, Author") unless some crewmembers were captured later or were on a long mission in shuttlecraft. This difference could be easily explained. Not all crewmembers are human so the extra two could be any non-human: Tuvok, Torres, Neelix, the Doctor.

First of all, Annika says 136 crewmembers, not 138, "most of them of the same race" and all of them "assigned to the plant." She's only citing the people who work at the plant. Some of the kidnapped Voyager crew weren't assigned to the plant, as evidenced by dialog from different characters that states "MOST of our (Voyager's) people were assigned to the plant."

Second, even if those 136 were brainwashed on the same day, others could have been brainwashed the next day and that just goes unmentioned.

Third, I don't understand this sentence at all: the extra two could be any non-human: Tuvok, Torres, Neelix, the Doctor. How could Neelix and The Doctor be the two possible non-Humans cited? Neither of them was ever brainwashed. And how was the figure of two additional non-Humans arrived at anyway? The original note says 142 or 146 crewmembers, 140 of whom are Human. We know there are more than two or six non-Human crewmembers on Voyager. I can think of at least eleven off the top of my head: Tuvok, Torres, Vorik, Tabor, Celes, Jarot, Chell, Gerron, Icheb, Naomi and Golwat.

Did any of that make any sense? - Bridge 22:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
