Some funny random trivia about "Threshold"

^Except that, as stated in the link I provided, the later episode "Drone" established that those shuttles had been in use since B'Elanna and Tom's Academy years. Which pretty much scuttled the original implication that the shuttle was a new design -- and raised questions about why we never saw any shuttles of that design in Voyager's complement before "Threshold."
The left hand (writers) and the right hand (visual effects) don't talk to each other much in Star Trek productions from my understanding. The "We have this model, likes use it" tends to take over whatever the script might say. They need a shuttle, we have a tiny shuttle set, lets makes something with that. (Hey wasn't that suppose to be a new shuttle? - Whatever).
^Except they both answer to the executive producers, who have to approve everything before it gets on the air. So it wasn't just lack of communication, it was Rick Berman not worrying about the inconsistency.
To be fair, they probably kept using the new shuttle set and miniature because they were available and were improvements on the previous design in some ways. So it probably made sense from a production standpoint to disregard the original implication in "Threshold." After all, it was never explicitly said the shuttle was a new design; it was just implied.

I think there supposed trip to infinite velocity wasn't figured out 3-dimensionally. These inventions they are using; warp theory, centrific dampeners, hollowdecks,--- are speculation theory that must be tested and re-tested over and over again and then re-wroked so the theory and machinery is useable. Roddenberry, Bragga and the writers are frequently not very basic about their terminology.
Tom and Harry couldn't believe that body chemistry is affected by simple velocity, since there are so many other nuances that do. The fact that the invention to make infinite vekocity was worked by them to a certain degree and the resulted speculation theory, using starfleet technology, could have propelled them to a different galaxy is rather conclusive.
