Funny, entertaining, suspenseful, a high stakes story, great stage design (I wonder what they build the Prometheus for - that's extremely ambitious stage design for just one episode), A-plot: Zimmerman's creations become unlikely heroes; great B-plot: Seven and B'Elanna in the Astro Lab. One of my favorite episodes. It's not even an isolated, inconsequential episode: it takes Voyager's mission seriously and advances the overaching story arch; it adds a chapter to the Dominion wars from DS9; it has Romulans; it foreshadows the Hirogen. It's just great.
