      Kes: Computer, activate the emergency medical holographic system.

      The Doctor: [materializes] Please state the nature of the medical emergency.

      Kes: Actually, there is no emergency. I'm creating a hydroponics bay. I was told you could provide me with some nitrogenated soil samples.

      The Doctor: [irritated] That's it?

      Kes: I'm sorry if...

      The Doctor: So it begins.

      [walks up to the cabin containing the 'dirt']

      The Doctor: The trivia of medicine is my domain now. Every runny nose, stubbed toe, pimple on a cheek becomes my responsibility.

    Good character story
    Janeway has to make a key personnel decision.

    This is an enjoyable episode with some decent character exploration.

    At the beginning the Captain holds a meeting to do some general planning and organising for Voyager's situation and this is the best part of the episode for me as it flows quite naturally and feels plausible.

    The plot is focused around Janeway, B'Elanna and Chekotay developing their characters further and establishing the dynamics between the Voyager and Marquis crew members. It does this very well in a number entertaining exchanges.

    There is a sci-fi aspect to the story that is technobabble heavy and made me zone out a bit. However, Neelix and Tom Paris almost break the forth wall in their efforts to connect with the layman, which is quite funny.

    How Janeway's dilemma resolves is contrived storytelling, but it's done in a positive way that (true to Star Trek) celebrates a character solving problems using intelligence.

    All performances are solid, especially Katie Mulgrew, Roxanne Dawson, and Robert Beltran.
