Från sidan Memory Alpha på 2x04, Elogium - det avsnitt där moderen Samantha Wildman, introducerades:
Following her introduction in this episode, Ensign Samantha Wildman became a recurring character in Star Trek: Voyager. The fact that the episode was moved from the first season of the series to its second caused an implication, regarding Ensign Wildman's pregnancy, that seems much like a mistake. In the interim between the two seasons, Jeri Taylor stated, "Because UPN is withholding it and showing it at the beginning of the season, it now makes it seem that Humans have a very strange gestation period – in which this woman was apparently pregnant for seven or eight months without realizing it!" (Star Trek Monthly issue 6) Likewise, Ken Biller felt that ending the episode with Wildman being pregnant was especially one of the episode's aspects that, due to the timing of the installment's broadcast, seemed odd. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 79) Years later, in the sixth season episode "Fury", the writing staff would finally explain Wildman's long pregnancy as having been a consequence of the baby's half-Ktarian genes.
6x23, Fury , innebär tidsresor. Runt halvvägs genom det här avsnittet har Janeway och doktorn denna snabba utbyte:
Doctor: She planned on telling you herself.
Janeway: Boy or girl?
Doctor: Female. Half Ktarian, as a matter of fact, which should nearly double the infant's gestation period. How did you know?
Så vi tittar på knappt 18 månader - ett och ett halvt år. Baserat på hur stardates work , det är någonstans runt 1500 "enheter" av stardat.
Från episodstardaten för Voyager startade serien på Stardate 48315.6, medan episoden i fråga Deadlock , ägde rum på 49548.7 - en skillnad på 1233,1 enheter, vilket gör 18-månaders halv-ktarian graviditet passar tidsramen ganska bra.
