Well, if you don't think too much if anything makes any sense in this episode, this one woman show from Janeway is quite amusing. She goes full Ripley mode but instead of creepy aliens she hunts huge flying viruses that have infected anyone on the ship.

I still wonder why those viruses fly and look a little bit like D&D beholders. And why do they make a buzzing sound like a giant bumblebee when they don't even have wings?

And what's with the ugly looking alien guy that has his noses glued to their chin over the mouth (might be a nightmare to eat and drink this way)? Strangely enough, similar species have been seen in DS9 episodes. Changing noses to look alienesque is the easiest thing to do. Not much prosthetics needed and the nose also doesn't move when you speak. Even Lower Decks makes fun of the many alien species with "Slightly different nose ridges". And this gesture/dance language of those aliens... laughable.

And how comes Janeway easily gives away the antigen to the guy that killed a whole colony of miners to purge the virus outbreak? No word of blame at all?
