I get that the Doctor is this show's Data but he just isn't as interesting. By making him much closer to human they also make him less interesting. Also my feelings on shows that are composed of hallucinations are quite clear, I don't like them. So despite generally being a fan of the Doctor I found this episode to be rather annoying. Especially the idea that this episode proves that he is unreliable and it is used as justification to move forward with letting him take command of Voyager on occasion. Wait, what?
I didn't really like this one so the summary is going to be extra short. The Doctor spends his time day dreaming and demanding that he be taken more seriously. Some alien taps into his dreams somehow as an effort to scout Voyager for attack. He decides that the Doctor is actually in charge because of what he sees and makes a plan to attack them based on that. But then he realizes he was wrong and contacts the Doctor because saving Voyager will help him save face. The Doctor meanwhile has lost control of his program and now only day dreams. Eventually they come up with a plan for the Doctor to pretend to be in command to save the day and he manages to bluff his way to victory so they give him an award.
Review: Almost nothing actually happens in this episode and while it does have some clever moments that save it from being truly unwatchable, it is still pretty bad.
