This unfairly underrated episode not only summarizes the gist of true Star Trek in a neat yet unassuming fashion, but -unlike in several other instances- manages to portray a Bronze Age society without repeating the outmoded structuralist conceptions, while elegantly making use of tragic drama not as a device per se but as an in-world element.
Almost fully enjoyable by anyone without a knowledge of Star Trek or Voyager, or a particular affinity with science-fiction at large. Especially recommended for such minds that enjoy exploring the ways to apply Tragic Drama -or ancient cultures in general- within a contemporary framework.
One of my top Star Trek (1965-2005) episodes.
