->''"The explosions cause the shuttle to crash--the first shuttle crash we've seen all the way since '''the previous episode!''' Yup.\\\
Previous ''Voyager'' episode on THIS show, of course. MY previous ''Voyager'' episode....well, that was "Once Upon a Time", which ''also'' had a shuttle crash, yeah. You wonder why it's considered a ''Voyager'' cliche, huh?"''

->''"Kirk gets his requisite opportunity to stare dreamily at the ''Enterprise'', which this time is framed beautifully against the moon. It’s really funny that they put one of these Kirk/''Enterprise'' scenes in every movie, just to remind us that the ship is Kirk’s [[CargoShip one true love.]]\\\
On the other hand, the original prototype of this scene—Kirk staring dreamily at the ''Enterprise'' aboard the shuttle with Scotty early on in ''[[Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture Star Trek I]]''--took up [[LeaveTheCameraRunning about a quarter of the total running time]] of that movie, so I’m surprised they didn’t think they’d already nailed this idea down. And yet, here they are still doing it. Heck, even ChrisPine gets a shot at the ''Enterprise'' Stare, sitting on his motorcycle as he ponders enlisting in Starfleet."''

->''"Although the series used this sort of direct 'nothing you watched mattered' {{reset button}} ''slightly less'' than most critics would have you believe, the show still fell back on it far too often. It’s fascinating that the show has resorted to it on only the second episode following the pilot. Start as you mean to go on, indeed.

->''"I suppose a shuttle crash was inevitable this close to the end: it was one of those staples that ''Voyager'' relied on a little too often that was bound to rear its ugly head before the shows climax. Like {{time travel}}, crew members [[NotHimself acting out of character]] and [[TheUsualAdversaries the Borg]]. Imagine how brave it would have been to have actually killed off Chakotay and Seven like this. To stick one in the face of critics like me; but no with predictable results they wind up on [[AllPlanetsAreEarthLike another Earth like forest on another Earth like planet]]...The scenes featuring the Ventu are the most snooze worthy this show has been all season. Literally ''nothing'' happens. Sincerity is a virtue but taken to this degree its like watching [[GoodIsBoring morally sound]] paint drying. I can’t believe the episode shoves in a ‘let’s get [[NobleSavage the Indians]] out of here so we can exploit the land’ moral at the end. It’s the most obvious place the show can go so naturally that’s where we head."''
