Both episodes feature a female officer being abducted and later participating in a fight to the death, which both parties survive. In further coincidence, both episodes are the fourth episodes of their shows’ first season.

From the Memory Alpha page:

At a Star Trek panel at DragonCon 2010, Star Trek: Voyager actor Garrett Wang said this episode “stinks”, to which LeVar Burton agreed, adding, “Without question.” Furthermore, Wang attributed his viewing of the episode as the reason why he ended up landing the role of Harry Kim, stating that, had he watched another episode of TNG, he would have been “too nervous” during his audition, as he would have ended up being a big fan of the show: “So three times I tried watching [the series] and I realized God was telling me ‘Do not watch Star Trek: The Next Generation’.” [11]

    Her writing did, at least, improve for thr Stargate episode. And while this is clearly an instance of the authors undisguised fetish, Powers isn’t responsible for the “Africa planet” casting in TNG, which was done at the whims of the casting director, who was promptly fired after this episode, so I’ve heard. Originally they were going to be Reptilian, I think?
