(First watched 2007-02-04) The non-standard manner of speech (nullify for kill, fathom for see, wayafter for afterlife, sphere for planet, and so on) used by the people on the planet was interesting, in that it truly made them seem a different culture. However, it doesn't feel right that the universal translator would do that for these people, while all other languages get translated to sounding "normal". Chakotay seems a bit of a hypocrite, talking about how where he comes from they try to find peaceful solutions instead of fighting... dude, you were captain of a Maquis vessel! You made it your job to fight a losing battle!
Far before the episode was over, there was a an obvious "twist" that seemed to be coming. Though my theory turned out to be half right... it then blindsided me with another twist. Well done. Really a very good episode. Interesting to see Chakotay assimilate into this new group, even if it took yet another freaking shuttle crash for him to end up in that situation.

(First watched 2007-02-09) The Doctor and Torres try to help a crazy hologram, with a B-story about Harry getting to know and crushing on Seven. Not bad. Voyager has its faults, but it is good at issues of artificial and quasi-human life forms.
