As an Irishman I found this hilarious

And touching at times.

Holodeck episode. Irish village "Fair Haven" (least Irish town name ever) circa 1900AD. Ridiculous American stereotypical Irish banter that only Americans think Irish people sound like: "Top o the mornin to ye, ara jaysus sure tis awful sunny in Ireland all of a sudden wheres the wind and rain so I can complain and me britches are itchin somethin fierce me fine beour".

Yeah I was laughing my ass off as I usually do at the depiction of Ireland here. The most glaring issue aside from the dodgy accents is the weather. It looks suspiciously like california sunshine for some reason lol.

I chuckled past the Ireland part, and found that this episode does convey Janeways loneliness in being a captain quite well. You can't bang your crew right? Sometimes I think our good captain is bout to jump her first officers bones xD

I enjoyed it personally, but as usual the writing just ain't really there in the B plot which is: YOU GUESSED IT another random space anomaly that is threatening them in as vague a way as possible.

United Ireland here we come
