Well. I was entertained. Chakotay stands up to the captain. That's good to see. The doctor charade is certainly interesting. The other, law-breaking (until he isn't) Captain is like a mirror to Janeway (well is he really? That's the question Janeway will ask herself but this is a constant topic of this show regarding Janeway's character).
Like in part 1, FX didn't age well. It's an action packed, fast paced and ambitious episode (two crews, two ships, plenty of FX).
Is it it an outstanding double header? Do I really like it? Nah... To start with, I don't really buy its central premise. A once unheard of ship and a crew - pacified by some sort of metaverse VR devices - that's also trapped in the quadrant unexpectedly encounters Voyager (how small are the odds?): this crew forgets every bit of human ethics (and Starfleet protocol) and decided to start a war with a species from a different realm in order to harvest energy from their bodies? Really? The other Captain suddenly rediscovers basic principles. Janeway turns from good to bad to good to bad and back. I don't really believe it.
