Another reviewer described it perfectly by saying it is almost a clip show, as it feels like a celebration of Voyager's greatest hits. However, with the effort that must have gone into the production it is ironically as far from a clip show as you can get.

I think if you take it overly seriously you might struggle with the silliness of the sci-fi concept, but suspend the disbelief it is good entertainment.

I hope the humour of having ultra-cheesy Chaotica scenes in the same episode as the ultra-cheesy Chakotay/Seska scenes is intended. It would be ironic if a show making fun of retro, camp sci-fi serials intended the dialogue exchanges between Robert Beltran and Martha Hackett to be dramatic.

The sexual tension between Janeway and Chakotay is nicely done by the actors and filmmakers.

Visually it is excellent as it has such a diverse range of scenes.
