It's immediately obvious that the doctor is impersonating the captain. Some more mystery might have improved things.
The Doctor knocking everyone out to maybe protect the captain was a bit far-fetched. Surely he'd be able to realize that the aliens couldn't be trusted and it was illogical and unethical to endanger the lives of Voyager's crew to ~maybe~ protect the captain (who explicitly ordered him not to do what he was doing).
Meanwhile the Captain is mostly just sitting there helplessly. Her various attempts at making moves go nowhere. I guess the writers were just trying to give her something to do.
Also weird for this random one-off Doctor episode to be the penultimate one instead of, say, Homestead or at least something with a plat that advances the main story…
