The first part of this story was fairly dark but surprisingly this second part is even darker. After the evacuation of Voyager only the senior staff remain on board, although from the viewers point of view that just means there are no nameless background characters wandering around the corridors. Heavily damaged Janeway has taken Voyager into a nebula so they can make repairs and make a plan for confronting the Krenim's temporal weapon. Meanwhile aboard the weapon Chakotay and Paris have different ideas about how they can help Voyager; Chakotay thinks that by using the weapon they can make it so that Voyager never approaches Krenim space whereas Tom thinks any adjustment of time is wrong and they should try to ferment mutiny amongst the crew. We also learn Annorax's real motive for constantly changing time; he just wants to correct a mistake which lead to the loss of his wife. Obviously the crew of the Voyager find a way to repair time but I won't spoil how they do it.
This was another exciting episode where the crew actually get hurt, including the captain who is badly scarred in a fire. It was just a shame the story couldn't have been stretched a bit longer as it was good to see the usually pristine Voyager battle-scared.
