Crew members are vanishing while strangers, beings calling themselves Nyrians, are just as mysteriously appearing all over the ship. In time, our friends discover this is a complex and effective hijacking scheme on the part of the Nyrians. Voyager is quickly overtaken and the entire crew - including even the EMH - find themselves on a prison colony where they're told they'll spend the rest of their lives. Obviously, that won't do.
"Displaced" is fun with an old school sci-fi feel. The portals our heroes find to other prison habitats are somewhat reminiscent of the original series episode "All Our Yesterdays." I half-expected Mr. Atoz and his librarian clones to pop up. I also enjoy the fact that the leverage Janeway finally finds to hold over the Nyrians is... cold weather (also echoing the TOS story).
