Pretty fun stuff, mostly due to the surprises along the way. Garret Wang does a good job of portraying and older version of Harry who has quite a different personality (and unsurprisingly, Chakotay hasn't changed one bit). I also loved seeing a Galaxy-class starship again, and the unexpected appearance of Geordi. Time travel stories tend to click with me, I think because I enjoy the often creative storytelling opportunities they open up. There's also the potential for a large amount of clichés to appear, but this handled things pretty well. The crash landing sequence was quite spectacular.
Of course, the episode does raise the question of why Voyager doesn't just make several short slipstream jumps to get home. The drive appears to work fine for short periods of time. Tom is acting very out of character in the early scenes and it feels more like a role that B'Elanna should have had. Speaking of her, she appears to completely have gotten over her intense depression from a couple of episodes ago - how nice for her.
I also am really noticing that Janeway pronounces Harry's name as, "Hairy", and it won't go away now.
