I am trying to review this without having seen the first part. While that caused some confusion, it was a genuinely good episode. My biggest complaint is that the Borg Queen seems out of character for the Borg (if they have a character). Yes, she's a good villain, but the Borg are not supposed to be villains, just a bizarre form of expansionist. Still, the episode gave a wild ride. Jeri Ryan showed the strain on Seven of Nine's character very well, and you got the sense that she was being beaten down, but still holding off an overwhelming force. Janeway was as reckless as ever, and her usual infernal luck held. You sometimes get the sense that she's going to try it once too often. Other than the pat ending (once again everyone's OK and the ship's a lot closer to home) a very good episode. |
