* AluminumChristmasTrees: The Soviet Russian town of Winniza was allegedly a recreation of Middle America so spies could train on how to pass for American.
* BrokenBase: The episode's potrayal of Species 8472 is divisive. Some appreciate the subversion of what seemed like one-note AbsoluteXenophobe alien race turning out to be reasonable and not all that different, allowing to result the conflict peacefully, and also acknowledging the implications of Voyager's decision to ally with the Borg against them in "Scorpion". Others feel the episode takes away their mystique and alienness, making them little different from average Star Trek aliens.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: There's a pretty good chance that peace with Species 8472 was an excuse to write them out of the show, due to the difficulty of their CGI animation.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: While the "Scorpion" two-parter was highly acclaimed, it earned a ''lot'' of criticism from some quarters over Janeway's first decision after encountering Species 8472 being to ally with the Borg, instead of trying harder to negotiate with 8472. This episode has Janeway acknowledge that she made a bad decision under pressure due to Harry's life being under threat, and shock at the thought of an enemy who could obliterate the Borg even more easily than the Borg themselves wiped out the Federation fleet at Wolf 359. For their part, the 8472 representatives also admit that they didn't know enough about life in the Milky Way to realise that Voyager and the Borg were from separate political entities, allowing for the implication that without Janeway's much-criticized decision to ally with the Borg, 8472 might well have caused untold levels of death and destruction before realizing their mistake.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Voyager stumbling on a plot by to infiltrate Starfleet by ''the'' most terrifying villain so far--the species that can obliterate the Borg, and have aimed to wipe out our entire universe--is one enthralling premise. And with the audience on the edge of their seat...it turns out to be an after school special about misunderstandings and trust.

Misuse; the entire fandom is not divided over one episode of one series.

* BrokenBase: This episode is pretty divisive, to say the least. Depending on what opinion one has of "Scorpion", either it's an effective apology for Janeway's worst decision in the show and properly re-embraces the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' ideal of promoting peace and understanding between different species no matter what bad blood may exist between them -- or it completely ruins an interesting and dangerous adversary by turning them into essentially just another Alien of the Week.

* LoveItOrHateIt: Much like "Scorpion" itself, the story gets this reaction. To some, it's much truer to the ''Star Trek'' ethos of exploration and peaceful communication with other species than its prequel, and rights one of the most morally dubious actions (Janeway's siding with the Borg) in the entire franchise. To others, it nerfs arguably the most interesting and dangerous antagonist (with the possible exception of the Hirogen) that ''Voyager'' managed to come up with during its run.
