In this episode of "Star Trek: Voyager," the crew celebrates Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres' wedding, marked by humor and tradition. However, the celebration turns grim as they discover they are not the original crew, but biomimetic copies from a Demon-Class planet. These duplicates face rapid cellular degradation due to the enhanced warp drive. Initially, Captain Janeway is determined to continue their journey to Earth, but as the situation worsens and crew members, including Janeway, perish, the decision is made to return to their origin planet.

The idea was good but there are too many flaws and annoyances with it.

Awful acting by everyone. So an esteemed crew member dies and her friends barely shrug.
Ughhh. And yet another lame interaction with an alien spaceship: alien spaceship shoots first and asks questions later, Voyager says hello please don't shoot us, alien ship fires again, Voyager finally makes the decision to disable their weapons, fails to do so, refuses to destroy the alien ship in order to survive, flees with no hope of survival... This isn't new but this time they're on the brink of death.
The other ridiculous thing is the failure to find a similar class Y planet, despite the ship's super scanners and engines.
Finally, the decision to go back to the original planet, despite the fact they're years away it's just ridiculous and implausible, since they don't have that much time to live.
