Possibly the best of Voyager's offerings, I cannot count how many times I watched this on VHS, and again on DVD. |

Now this is simply one of Voyager's best episodes. It came at a time before the Voyager writers ran out of gas; when the Borg were still exactly what they were supposed to be, a species with no individual leader, that only wished to improve itself by assimilating other beings throughout the galaxy. They were unstoppable, they were frightening. THESE are the Borg that used to give me nightmares when I was a kid, which is exactly what they should be. I loved the story. We've seen and heard about the Borg destroying so much throughout their existence, and to be honest I was kind of waiting for the day when they just simply messed with the WRONG species, and that exactly what happened here. It's hard to believe this episode was written in a week, because everything worked so well it had me itching to see part II. Sucks they couldn't pull the same trick with "Endgame"... |

We all knew this was coming; the Voyager reaches Borg space. Then we find out that there is something even more powerful out there. When I first saw this, that was a terrifying thought. Janeway seemed keen on trying something suicidal most of the way through, the 'North West Passage', taking on the whole Collective, allying herself with the Borg; and this time Chakotay was playing the voice of caution. Still, Janeway is in a position of being both powerless and powerful, because she had something that the Borg want and they could get by assimilation. Working in Picard's log entry was very neat (I'm not sure if it was a genuine line or not). Voyager has finally given us something up with the very best. |
