In and of itself, this would be a good episode. Unfortunately, it contains so many elements of previous episodes that it feels like Leftover Night. We have a regular character taking charge of three less-than-stellar crewmen (see also "Learning Curve", Season 1) and we have the crew mutinying rather than let the captain sacrifice herself (see also "Night", Season 5). We even have Seven doing unwanted and unauthorized studies of the crew that lead to friction among the regular characters (see also Seven's study of Tom and B'Lanna's relationship, "Someone to Watch Over Me", season 5).
All in all, it's an okay way to pass an hour, but I think this is the point where we first saw that the series was running out of stories to tell.
