Storyline

- TriviaThis is the first time in Star Trek that a starship is shown landing (without crashing) on a planet's surface. The reason this was never shown on the original Star Trek (1966) was due to budget restrictions, which necessitated creating the transporter beam as a plot device.

- Quotes
Fred Noonan: [Noonan has been wounded, and the alcohol in his bloodstream is inhibiting the Doctor's attempts to heal him] There's just one thing I want to say to you first, even though it's four hundred years late. Amelia, I love you.
Amelia Earhart: Fred, you never said anything...
Fred Noonan: You're married, or you were. I guess he's dead now. I just wanted you to know before... before I met my maker.
The Doctor: There! That should do it.
Fred Noonan: Do what?
The Doctor: You're healed.
Fred Noonan: [Noonan looks, and his wound is gone] You mean I'm not gonna die?
The Doctor: Aside from a hangover, you're going to be fine.
Fred Noonan: [panicked] Oh, Amelia... you, uh, you gotta forget what I just told you! Promise me!
Amelia Earhart: [grinning] Fred, I already have.

An episode about aliens that have kidnapped humans and brought them to a planet as slaves. In the time between 1937 and the current year, a lot has happened. The human slaves revolted and now have the planet to themselves. However they had around 8 humans in cryogenic stasis. No explanation is given as to why they are kept in stasis other than that the other humans think they are dead.
This episode is more about the prospect of staying on a planet that "feels like home" over the perils of getting back to home. That's really the whole idea of the episode itself and we never really a chance to explore that aspect of the plot. The moment we get to point, we have 10 minutes left, enough for a monologue from Janeway and a few conversations here and there about it, but all in the span of 5 minutes. The build up took so long to achieve and the resolution below average.
Overall, skippable episode. Nothing stands out, not even David Gaff, who was a memorable character from the Police Academy movies. Nothing to see here with starting Season 2.
It was said this episode was a screenplay written for Season 1, so I will assign this episode to that season and take the next episode as season 2 and see if this season starts off better with that in mind.
