Voyager gets trapped in a void of space that is occupied with other ships, all of which are competing for resources.
The ships trapped in the void exist in a state of chaos where everyone is competing for resources. There are two ways of trying to survive: Look after for yourself with a complete disregard for others or try and cooperate to share resources with the aim of a solution for all. This episode is as relevant in today's divided societies as it ever was and makes you feel a bit depressed when you think what option our own leaders would actually take.
There are clashes of viewpoint all over the place and it presents the Captain Janeway character with a moment to shine. Talk about resolute, bloody-minded devotion to principles. It's a high risk attitude and not all agree (some IMDB reviewers to name a few), but you have to admit that even though she might not be the de facto star of the show, particularly when The Doctor and Seven are on form, she is well and truly the star of this episode.
It is a technically well made episode with special effects that keep things pretty exciting and when all is said and done you've got to love a montage.
