Klingons! I've missed y'all.
I don't care that it's unlikely to meet a Klingon ship in the Delta Quad, I'm just happy to have an episode full of them.
Klingons in the Delta Quadrant
A mildly interesting commentary on religion used as a political tool

Nice to have a bit of Klingon culture
Voyager runs into a multi-generational Klingon ship that has travelled to the delta quadrant over long period of time.
I found this a pretty fun episode given the distinct lack of Klingon culture present in the series normally. Who doesn't love a bit of machismo and honour paraded about every now and again?
The plot of the episode was okay with one or two interesting themes about faith and religious leadership. I particularly enjoyed the scenes where the Kohlar and B'Elanna interpret the events of her life to be consistent with text from ancient scriptures. There is also a highly amusing sub-plot involving a quite amorous Klingon female who takes a shine to a couple of Voyager's eligible males.
This is another good episode for Tom and B'Elanna, where they again have something tangible to do other than act romantically towards one another. Other characters that contribute well such as Neelix and Tuvok, but the star attractions are the Klingons.

Klingon Preachers and Stem Cells
Is this episode one of the mysterious ties to "Discovery?"

Wandering Klingons
Another contrived plot. A herd of Klingons who have been wandering in space for centuries, comes upon voyager. When they find out that B'ellana is on board and she is pregnant, they assume from their ancient scrolls that her baby will be the messiah of the Klingons. All the actions features differences between the humans and the Klingons. Of course, there are other aliens on the ship, but we seldom see them (for instance those big fat blue guys). The one thing that must be dealt with is a condition carried by our perennial enemies. Anyway, it's a lightweight episode but engaging at times. By the way, when the Klingon fights Paris, I was hoping he was collapsing from being overweight and out of shape.
The Kuvamagh!

Torres' baby is the Klingon messiah?!
Improbable and contrived as it might seem, the episode begins with Voyager encountering an old-style Klingon ship that looks like the ones from the original "Star Trek". It seems the ship is full of bizarro pilgrims that are looking for the Klingon savior--and these folks think the Klingon Empire and the Federation are still at war. Fortunately, they are able to eventually convince these Vulcans that the war is over but now they have another problem--the leader of the Klingon ship deliberately destroys their ship and informs his crew that their savior is aboard Voyager and it's B'Elanna's baby!!! While this sounds improbable and insane, there MIGHT be something to this.
This is a mildly interesting episode and I really enjoyed the final scene with Neelix and the very frisky Klingon lady. Interesting but not a particularly great episode but worth seeing if you are a fan.

Not bad..but certainly a wasted opportunity...
Tom Paris is a god father
One positive side of the series so far has been that there have been no Klingons in the Delta quadrant (except for the second-rate Klingon copy, aka the Kazon). And with B'Elanna there is only one half-Klingon on board the ship, who had little use for Klingon culture and drivel about heroic fights and honor in battle. A welcome change from Worf, who ultimately annoyed me massively in both TNG and DS9. He was only tolerable in PIC.
And now Voyager has to deal with 200 Klingons who have blown up their own ship in order to continue their journey on board Voyager. And as if honor, heroic songs, blood wine and gagh weren't enough, they also belong to a religious Klingon sect that sees B'Elanna's unborn child as their savior - a Klingon female J'Esh'us, so to speak. Klingons and religion - a toxic mix.
The running gags about the Klingon woman who first stalks Harry and is then wrapped around Neelix's finger are only moderately funny. Only Tuvok's reaction is amusing.
I also wonder how 200 Klingons want to colonize an uninhabited planet. There are no buildings there, they have no agricultural machinery, no medical supplies and without huge industrial replicators they would live there like the first settlers in the USA - only, unlike these Klingons, they had seeds, animals and equipment with them. Did they get everything they needed for the next hundred years from Voyager? The crew would have been busy for weeks if not months replicating everything a society needs to survive. And that's not to mention the question of genetic diversity in this population. After all, they have already only reproduced among themselves for the last 100 years.
