There is a good idea here about the risks of interspecies relationships and I don't remember that this has ever been addressed before. Let's be frank, usually they do whatever they like, with whoever they like. There never was talk about biological risks. Unfortunately this isn't really explored further and is anyway suffocated under a thick layer of soapy dialogue. The b-plot concerning the freedom movement is equally lackadaisical as it is but a footnote. The only thing really remarkable is Harry standing up to Janeway. Her saying that she would have expected this from someone like Tom, who at this time was long involved with B'Elanna, is not helping her cause. She clearly seems to have no idea about her crew at all.
