This is one of the best episodes of Voyager which unusually is centred on Harry Kim. Fifteen years after Voyager crashed while trying to use a new slipstream drive Harry and Chakotay, who survived and returned to Earth because they were in the Delta Flier at the time, return to the crash site with the intention of using stolen Borg technology to prevent the accident ever happening.
The episode shows the two times until they converge when Harry successfully sends a message back in time. In the future scenes we see Harry, Chakotay and Chakotay's lover Tessa go to the long crashed Voyager and retrieve the Doctor and Seven of Nine's body. It turns out the need the Doctor to access Seven's Borg implants so they can determine the exact moment to send the message to. Things are complicated by the fact that Star Fleet wants to prevent them from changing time and are prepared to do just about anything to stop them. In the present scenes we learn that Voyager has been equipped with a slipstream drive but there is a slight fault so the Flier must go ahead of them to send back information to correct the problem.
Garrett Wang gets a chance to show a greater acting range than he usually does as Harry Kim; fifteen years of feeling guilty for Voyager's loss has had a noticeable effect on the character. Director LeVar Burton does a good job not only as director but also as Star Fleet Captain Geordi La Forge who previously served as the Enterprise's Engineer in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
