* AntiClimaxBoss: Jonas. All that scheming behind the backs of the crew, and he gets owned by ''Neelix.''

* AntiClimaxBoss: Jonas. All that scheming behind the backs of the crew, and he gets owned by ''Neelix.'''' And we never even find out why he was so willing to sell everyone out, other than the implication back in "Alliances" that he was swayed by Hogan's speech about giving technology to the Kazon in return for their protection--but that doesn't explain why he'd be willing to trust them, let alone Seska.



* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: "Investigations" gets some flak from fans and critics for being a sudden and anticlimactic end to season 2's StoryArc, and it's been [[https://them0vieblog.com/2016/03/23/star-trek-voyager-investigations-review/ speculated]] that this is why the show was reluctant to commit to story arcs again. The whole thing with the Kazon spy on ''Voyager'' didn't generate a lot of interest because the Kazon just didn't go over that well with fans (who were more interested in Seska anyway), and to rub salt in the wound, the guy to uncover the plot was PluckyComicRelief Neelix! As a side note, ''A Briefing With Neelix,'' despite being a nice little framing device, seems to have only been introduced in this episode solely to tie up the arc - in fact, this ShowWithinAShow was only ever mentioned again once, in season 3's "Macrocosm."

* IdiotPlot:
** If Neelix wasn't so useless and incompetent, or if he didn't constantly shove his way into situations where his incompetence made him a danger to himself and others, there wouldn't be an episode.
** Furthermore ThePlan involves Tom Paris discovering the identity of TheMole and then [[InvincibleHero single-handedly escaping from a Kazon warship without any support from Voyager]].

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: An earlier draft had the episode framed entirely from the perspective of "A Briefing With Neelix." It was Paramount who stepped in and said they wanted some action and to see Paris get some moments of heroism, which, at that point, the producers realized they needed to include anyway.
