Considering the depth of these powers, it's a shame they were never put to any use, only some dull meditation The Gift to Voyager's rating woes! Seven of Nine's addition to the cast of course, cause I would hardly classify the sudden emergence of Kes's powers as much of a gift, more of a burden as with the rushing of her abilities coming into play as an excuse to push Jennifer Lien off the show, where as if they handled the issue with a little more thought in the preceding season it may not have seemed so forced. Stardate not given: Synopsis in main VOY listing Commentary No other character does much here beyond the norm. Seven of Nine will prove to be a somewhat handy addition to the show, though when you think about it she is basically a clean slate that can be easily developed and her character will take a great prominence from here on in till the end of the show.

Janeway and Chuckles conflicted is hardly played upon but for the oneĬonversation they have in sickbay, and you'll forget they ever had this disagreement from the end of that scene. The 8472 are a bit boring as well, and don't appear as much as in the first part, and when they do it's just to attack or spout bad guy dialogue (albeit through Kes).ĭon't have much more to say, I suppose it all felt a little rushed as well, it didn't take long at all for the bioweapon to be developed and employed and before you know if 8472 are scurrying back to their realm. Season finale, but whereas there was genuine doubt over whether or not Picard would survive (due to uncertainty over Patrick Stewart continuing his role as Picard), I had no doubts Janeway would be cured with no problem resolving a situation Chuckles wasn't up to handling. "The Best of Both Worlds" so successful along with the Borg playing a key part in the 3rd I don't know if this was another deliberate ploy to recreate much of the same ingredients which made With Janeway unconscious and the Doctor unsure if she'll recover from the injuries sustained on the Cube during the 8472 attack. The pretext of getting Chakotay in that position of power didn't have a great deal of weight to it either When Janeway wakes up the pair argue though over his course of action but they agree to cooperate themselves. Chakotay's doubt about the alliance is carried over here and he agrees it's too risky to cooperate with the Borg. "Unity", Chuckles distracts her long enough for B'Elanna to overload something which severs her link, leaving the Voyager with one new crewmember.Īs said, the initial threat of 8472 is played down here, replaced by the tension and mistrust between Janeway, Seven and Chakotay. Seven then tries to commandeer Voyager, but using the Borg link he picked up in Voyager escapes and Kes communicates with 8472 that Voyager will continue to use the weapons unless they retreat, which they do. After being rendered unconscious in the battle, Chuckles is placed in charge, but isn't happy with theĪlliance and terminates it, Seven messes with the deflector bringing into 8472's space (realm, whatever), where the nanoprobe

A bioship attacks Voyager, but the cube sacrifices itself, ramming the ship and beaming Janeway, Tuvok, 7 of 9 and a few drones onto Voyager. Janeway says no deal and the Borg choose a representative to speak for them in 7 of 9. The Borg though don't feel chatting is practical and attempt to merge Janeway and Tuvok's consciousness into the Collectives. Picking up where left off Janeway is on a Borg cube following the destruction of one of their worlds by 8472, Voyager is tractored along and construction of a weapon to battle this new threat is started on. Part II is a bit of a letdown in my opinion but it's still quite good. A fair deal of tension and excitement seems absent in contrast to part I where we had the thrill of the initial threat of 8472 and the battle scene's. Watching Part II after a while it doesn't seem to match with the first part. Stardate 51003.7: Synopsis in main VOY listing Commentary
