Cogenitor

As Commander Tucker is trying to choose a movie to show to the Cogenitor, among the titles in the library is the fictional 1930s science fiction film "The Bride of Chaotica," a reference to a chapter in the campy Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon-type "Captain Proton" serial favored by Lt. Tom Paris in Star Trek: Voyager (1995). Indeed, Captain Kathryn Janeway herself reluctantly played the eponymous character in the episode Bride of Chaotica! (1999). Another title shown is "Dixon Hill and the Black Orchid." Dixon Hill is a 1940s private investigator noir series, also unique to the Star Trek universe. Captain Jean-Luc Picard frequently played Hill himself on the Holodeck in several episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987). In fact, all of the film titles shown are bogus, except for The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), which was directed by Robert Wise, who also directed Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). Another "movie" listed is Mr. Willis of Ohio (1999), which is actually the title of an episode of The West Wing (1999).

The Vissian chief engineer tells Commander Tucker that a polymer used on their ship is made of more than 200 naturally occurring elements. Tucker is shocked because the Earth database show only 92 naturally occurring elements. What's wrong here is that at the time of filming there were already 94 naturally occurring elements discovered and not 92 (as of 2017 94 plus 24 synthetics elements for a total of 118 ).
