It's an interesting choice for a season premiere. That's not a bombastic season premiere. Most of the time - by design due to the void - it's a quieter story. But I like that they take some time to show how the crew spends time when off-duty and how they bond on a personal level. I mean, boredom should be a constant threat on such a long journey anyway and too little of these boring duty shifts have been shown in the last seasons. In the second half the story picks up speed, but I don't really like this part. It's classical Star Trek though: the Federation is the white knight who helps a threatened species.
A word about that b/w holo novel. It's certainly the silliest but most memorable of all holo programs in the show. Even after years you remember Voyager for this b/w comic book novel just like you remember Vic Fontaine in DS9. As a diversion, it works considerably well.
