Trivia
This was originally supposed to be the third season finale. There were some minor rewrites, with many of Kes's lines given to Seven of Nine.

Goofs
After erasing the Garenor civilization from history, Obrist reports that the Krenim Imperium has reverted to a pre-warp state. If that were true, the Krenim warship Voyager had been dealing with at that time should have vanished completely, not just diminished in size, unless the Krenim in that timeline are so bold as to venture into deep space in primitive vessels without warp drive to confront other, more powerful ships, which seems unlikely.

Quotes
The Doctor: [inserting a speech at the inauguration of the Astrometrics lab] Who would have thought that this eclectic group of voyagers could actually become a family? Starfleet, Maquis, Klingon, Talaxian, hologram, Borg - even Mr. Paris.

Excellent in spite of the colossal plot hole

As everyone except the show writers has noticed, Kes had warned them about the Krenim, and no one remembers it - it is a continuous problem that events of past episodes often are not reflected in the next ones, but this is the proverbial elephant in the room. The episode "Before and After" specifically foreshadowed the events here, yet it is like it never happened (huh...).

Nonetheless, if you forget this glaring error, the episode is great, both in its depiction of a ravaged Voyager and for introducing a villain who appears to have some depth and character - as well as a megalomania that will obviously be his undoing.
