This is a nice ending to the Fourth Season. An alien named Arturis has amazing skills. He can read and interpret numerous languages. Neelix brings him on board after a planetary shopping trip. He is seemingly kind and thoughtful. But there is a mystery. Soon a ship appears with a Starfleet signature and things go sour. This ship is the answer to their dreams (or so they think). This is a good episode because of the continuing evolution of Seven. I wonder if her conflicts with Janeway are over or she will continue to be a constructive thorn in the side. The episode is well paced and doesn't have some of the maudlin stuff that sometimes invades this series.
