That was not the best Voyager episode ever made. To wit:
This episode is the first in what is known to some fans as the “trilogy of terror” – three consecutive episodes that are often considered to be remarkably bad (the other two episodes being “Rise” and “Favorite Son”).

Picardo’s performance is excellent. But I do wonder if the overall perception is in the series of episodes. Lot of bad Star Trek episodes have excellent performances
