Very fun episode but I struggle with the placement. He defied Capt Janeway in Season 7 Ep 9 & 10, was humble about making that error in Ep 20 (Author Author), and then turns around and is arrogant again in this episode, and defies orders. Again. As much as I enjoyed the ‘family’ gathering to make sure the Doc was okay, it just seems like the same plot (Doc is arrogant, makes an error, is forced to eat humble pie) was done three times this year. I would have ‘wrapped’ the Doc with ‘Author Author’. That aside, I agree with all the praise on the acting and the the production. It was well executed. And every Trek series up to this point has it’s ‘Outsider Superman’. TOS had Spock TNG had Data DS9 had Odo Voyager had first the Doc and then Seven as a bonus. Each show had at least one episode where the character completely overwhelms the rest of the main cast by going rogue. In this case, I think Doc does need restrictions on his ability to reprogram himself. He shouldn’t be able to activate the ECH on his own. There needs to be a ‘two person’ rule unless all members of the crew are gone or disabled. And no one should be able to tinker with his program without his consent except the Capt and the Chief Engineer. Failsafes need to be put in place. And as I said before, he needs to go through a Star Fleet Training course (not just uploaded) taught by Janeway/Tuvok/Chakotay so that the moral and ethical training is adsorbed effectively. Socializing: I agree with Robbie on distancing but there are some exceptions. The Capt should be able to platonically socialize with her Second in Command (makes good teamwork), the Doctor (usually treated differently than standard crew), civilians, and Tuvok (based on long-standing relationship and 2nd officer status). Junior officers and regular crew is naturally limited. But the others either have no rank or their position is already near the top. Finally, although not shown, during Resolutions, I’m sure Tom had bridge command duty as he was the first officer.

Regarding Tom's reaction to the Doctor confessing his love for Seven, Tom caught on to the Doctor's feelings during "Someone to Watch Over Me".
