I think this story had a good premise; Commander Chakotay has been shot down while flying over a planet in a shuttle and has found himself stranded in the middle of a war zone where he grows to sympathise with the side he finds himself with. The problem is they all talk a bit like the children in "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome" which gets irritating after a while. The people he is with look human but their enemy, which they refer to as the Nemesis, look like the creature in the film "Predator". At first Chakotay tries to stay out of their war but as he sees just how bad the enemy is he enthusiastically joins the fight. Meanwhile the crew on the Voyager seek local help to find him and with total predictability the help they seek is from the people Chakotay is fighting against and they make similar accusations of atrocities. There was a second twist at the end which thankfully I hadn't spotted and I won't spoil it here.
Over all it was an Okay episode which was really let down by language used by the people Chakotay meets, this I found really grating, if this doesn't bother you I suspect you may like it more than me.
