Which Episodes Featured Captain Proton?

I watched about a third of the Voyager episodes -- none of which featured "Captain Proton," Tom Paris' holodeck alter ego. Which episodes featured one of those adventures?
 
The three main ones...

Night
Thirty Days
Bride of Chaotica!

To a minor degree...

Alice (only see Kim in costume)
Shattered (Janeway and Chakotay are briefly captured by Dr. Chaotica)

I may be forgetting one or two.
 
Warning Will Robinson....! Bride of Chaotica is as camp as a row of pink fluffy tents.

But it's great! ;)
 
From Captain Proton

* "Night"
* "Thirty Days"
* "Bride of Chaotica!"
* "Alice"
* "Drive"
* "Repression"
* "Nightingale"
* "Shattered"
* "Endgame"

HAIL WIKI! End communication.
 
The Proton program was based on a number of Hollywood adventure serials produced in the 1930's, most notably:

Captain Proton and the Coffee of Arachnia.
Captain Proton and the Large-Breasted Space Vampires.
Captain Proton and the Scantily-Clad Amazons.
Captain Proton and the Redshirts of Death.
Captain Proton and the Invasion of Cliches.
Captain Proton vs. the Vulcan Freakasaurus.
Captain Proton vs. the Unconvincing Giant Toy Spider
Captain Proton Conquers A Very Tiny Part of the Universe.
Captain Proton Battles Reused Props From Other Hollywood Movies
Captain Proton Enters A Mirror Universe That Looks Exactly Like Southern California.


It also appears to have drawn from the Republic serials Doc Zimmerman: The Photonic Man and Commander 'Chuck' Kotay: Man of Wood as well as some blatant plagiarism of mainstream sci-fi like A.E. Vogt's The Voyage of Porthos, Issac Assimov's I, Rebok (the Sponsored Edition) and the controversial rewriting of Harlan Ellison's "Shitty On The Edge of Neuropressure" for the latest series of Star Trek: Enterprise. There's also clear semiotic influences (and a few 'in-jokes') from:

Plan Seven of Nine From Outer Space.
The Shape of Things in Catsuits.
The Six Million Dollar Borg.
Amazon Women on the Move.
The Stepford Chakotay.
The Crawling Eyelash.
This I-Pod Earth.
20,000 Leagues Without A Pee.
They Stole Archer's Brain
Godzilla versus Ambassador Soval.


Satan's Robot is a clear homage to the classic (or should one say cliched) theme of the water heater that is upgraded with artificial intelligence and then turns on its masters: It Came Without Needing Regular Maintenance (promoted in Great Britain as It Came From Out of the Kitchen!) and Chrome Toasters From Hell which we all know inspired Battlestar Galactica. Constance Goodheart clearly represents the vapid space babes of The Beast With A Million Thighs and My Head Is Hollow And I Am Blonde.

The Twin Mistresses of Evil are clearly inspired by those pretty actresses who played bit parts when they weren't filming more adult fare like Mars Needs Scantily-Clad Boxum Women with No Brains, Debbie Dax Does Deep Space Sixty-Nine and supposedly 'educational' shorts like You're Astronauts on Some Kind of Sex Tour or the shocking Lesbian Trill Tramps Who Dare To Rejoin.
 
Thanks for the replies!

I often forget about Memory Alpha. Before posting this thread, I had checked both Wikipedia and StarTrek.com.
