I loved Kess she was such a sweet and warm character, i really liked her. I knew this was coming i was intrigued and wondered what the reason for it was that she wanted to take "revenge" for but it was for such a dumb 4ss reason im not gonna go into spoilers, but if you watch this you will know what im talking about like wow what way to murder a character, i know her and Neelix are in a top hated characters list but i liked them both i know Neelix was weirdly obsessed with her and over the top jealous for no reason but i think they were both sweet. I usually don't dislike people or in this case characters because others say so it's dumb, I've seen in other shows how the destroyed a character for a last episode with them for no reason like this case.
Beyond the visual FX there's nothing in this episode that makes it as special as it tries to be.
A weak concept brings back an old character who gives a weak performance, and everything resets by the end.
Damning, however, is the resurgence of one of Voyager's more frequent writing issues - unexplained Deus Ex Machina. The story is driven forward when Tuvok experiences a nonsensical phenomenon that the script goes to the effort of acknowledging as unprecedented, and then leaves its occurrence unexplained.
The episode feels rushed and lazy, which ironically reminds me of the episodes when Kes' hair grew out and her relationship ended and neither significant change is ever addressed.

I'd really like to know what happened to Kes. She would be a powerful resource to find borg. Could also beat the continuim. But this episode just said nothing
The start of this episode had some great moments. There was some interesting action and I always love a good time travel story. But the payoff absolutely wasn't there. I expected more of a conflict at the end, something more interesting to happen. Not sure to be honest. But what we got was a letdown. The episode ran out of steam and wrapped things up too quickly. This might have been better if there had been more to it... some time to breathe.. not sure. It just wasn't that great. Weak final act and that really brings down the score in my opinion. 6/10.
Since Kes was let go, it may be that the poor actress needed a paycheck. So what do you do? You contrive some plot and send her after her former crew, making up some kind of rant that needs to be addressed. She comes aboard and starts to tear the ship apart. Apparently, she has become delusional in her old age and is able to use her powers (for some reason!!!) I think a marriage with Q would have made a much better episode. Then one could throw all cause and effect into the dumpster.

- TriviaAn often overlooked bit of trivia is that this episode is the sole "return" appearance not only of Kes, but also of Samantha Wildman, played by Nancy Hower. Samantha, mother of Naomi, was a fairly important recurring character in early seasons, but was otherwise unseen after Once Upon a Time (1998). An urban legend says that the writers incorrectly remembered the ending of OUaT, where the injured Samantha is narrowly rescued from danger, and assumed that she had been killed off.
- GoofsCaptain Janeway tells Tuvok "it's not long before you hit the big three digits," implying that he is not yet 100 years old, but it was made clear almost four years earlier, in Flashback (1996), that Tuvok was already 108 or 109 then; so, by this time he'd be 112 or 113.
