I can pretty much explain what happens in this episode in a sentence. People get caught, then escape, then caught and escape again (it's almost like old Doctor Who) before the time line reverts to normal (and back to Voyager). It seemed like a series of short episodes all stuck together rather than the conclusion to anything.
The best thing about the entire episode of course was the Doctor. Now that he can actually leave the sickbay into the real world now that can only make things better. There was a nice moment when he’s outside and he stops to smell a tree. Plus of course his usual sardonic wit.
At one point, Torres and Chakotay (who were on their way to rescue Paris) are captured by an anti-government militia in Arizona, presumably just to appear topical for a 24th century show. I’m assuming the scene where they play Mortal Kombat against the cast of Friends was cancelled.
Okay, I promise I won’t mention the fact that the eugenics war should be happening, who says I khan’t.... dammit. Still I don’t understand Jeri Taylor’s logic that “those of us who entered into the Nineties realize the Eugenics Wars simply aren't happening.” Well that’s because we’re not in Star Trek.... it’s a TV show. They could have have easily had one line saying that the time travel paradox stuff altered the war so it happened later. Not that I’m mentioning it of course.
