Cringeworthy. A dog in the delta quadrant. Bad acting. A rip off from "A Matter of Perspective" from TNG. Lazy writing. I dislike how Paris is portrayed the first season of Voyager. This is definitely an episode to skip. There are a few bad episodes that are sprinkled throughout the various series. This is one of them.
The lead female guest star is really annoying playing the stereotypical woman. There is no complexity to her character or any of the characters.
We are also in the Delta Quadrant. Aliens should really be alien. These aliens were too close to the Alpha quadrant variety. Thankfully the episodes get better. I'd argue that this episode is worse than the Paris/Janeway salamander episode! THAT was at least interesting. In short, look away from that "female" delta quadrant dog.
In my opinion, this was the fall and failure of the early 2000 Trek. Stories from other series began to repeat in Voyager and Enterprise. And the lack of imagination by the writers began to create this ho hum approach to Star Trek. Thankfully Voyager saved itself 3rd season. And Enterprise had a decent 4th season send off. This episode is really the beginning of poorly written rehash storytelling. After watching Nu Trek and seeing this episode, I'm reminded that it does get better again.
