Review : A very well-made episode, but actually quite hard to review. It's interesting to see a different side to the Borg this time. Guinan's change of heart made sense somehow, acting as a foil for Picard (no pun intended). I also liked the way that people didn't simply switch positions just like that, and continued to do their duty even though they disagreed with it. That showed Starfleet officers acting like professionals, something the writers should let them do a lot more. The scene where Picard meets Hugh in the ready room and acts as though he is still Locutus was very well done. You can see how it tipped the balance, and it gave his decision a real justification. It all made sense.

Review : The stupidest episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and perhaps shows everything wrong with the Jean Luc's idealism. He refused to sacrifice the individuality of one being to destroy a pseudo-race that's modus operandi is destroying individuality. For the life of one person, they decide not to take the opportunity to destroy a vicious collective that has killed and assimilated trillions. In Descent, Vice Admiral Alynna Nechayev calls Picard out on this, as well she should. But, it was after the fact. In truth, this was one big episode where the writers wanted to dangle the Borg's destruction in front of the audience, then pull it away because the Borg are way too popular.
