Nice character episode, but Neelix frustrates

Voyager enters a nebula searching for dilithium.

This is an enjoyable episode that is pretty lighthearted with good character interaction.

The plot is fairly thin and feels like something going on in the background whilst certain characters exchange banter. To be fair the dialogue and performances feel more natural than ever.

What it does well is create a sense of bonding (and other dynamics) between characters. The likes of Janeway, Tuvok, the Doctor, and Kes are all great value for their screen time.

The sci-fi aspect is full of technobabble and given the tone of the episode has no urgency. Also, why Neelix is portrayed as so unhappy in this episode considering how lucky he is with one moment of intimacy is beyond me!
