This is not a good season. Too few good stories. Too few interesting crew members. Most of the time too inconsequential: the big button resets most characters after each episode. There's only little character building: the Doctor who's trying to evolve over the course of a couple of episodes and the Paris/B'Elanna relationship are the only exceptions to that rule.
Voyager doesn't start before Seven comes into the picture. Luckily the Kazons and Vidiians are gone in this season. They have partially realized the biggest problem of this show: it can't capitalize on the established alpha quadrant universe. And all ideas they had to populate this part of the Galaxy with new intriguing races and civilizations failed. Miserably. Thus, they injected some episodes with some connection to well established structures: Ferengi, Sulu onboard the Excelsior, Q, the Borg. But that's not enough to save season 3. It's just mediocre and it's perhaps the worst of all third seasons of all Star Trek shows of that era (seasons 1 were always bad - in all shows of that era).
