The story ultimately turned out to be a mess that needed more depth for her to "turn bad", but - damn - did it start out extremely well or what?
(And not because Kes is in a set re-use of a small ship cockpit that was used at least twice in previous reasons; seeing her pull this stunt is indeed worthy of a sweeps-week event.)
Also, note to self: When eating beans, don't light a match back there afterward.
But, messes aside, the Vidiian threat remained compelling:
(Look closely and you'll see some folk doin' the Macarena, at warp speed, while eatin' macaroni)
But making Kes out as a villain when she wasn't, and then the gimmicks to turn that around (from what I recall) -- as usual for latter-era Trek, it might have been more interesting if Kes was genuinely a baddie. Then again, it's latter-era Trek. There's always a new way to make a reset button.
What's left:
"THE VOYAGER CONSPIRACY"
"VIRTUOSO"
"SPIRIT FOLK"
"UNIMATRIX ZERO"

I'm liking your post because of your use of the Macarena. "FURY" is just such trash, I recently put it in the short list of worst episode in the franchise.
My final save for this season is "THE VOYAGER CONSPIRACY".
I simply can't vote for the others because one damages The Doctor's character REALLY badly by making him such a dick, another completely defanged the Borg and assimilation as a horrible and terrible thing, and another is just a train wreck of an episode.
I'll save "Virtuoso." Kind of a kernel of an interesting idea there. There are usually few things I hate more than a "will this series regular leave the ship forever?!?" episode, but with the Doctor it raises some unique issues.
My last save is UNIMATRIX ZERO. Although is has the extremely annoying bit where Harry's very reasonable observation is interrupted by that blasted alert, it also has Janeway kicking Borg butt with a bat'leth.
