Voyager powers down for a while and in the resulting darkness Neelix tells the Borg children a ghost story.
I realise the above description doesn't sound good, but it honestly isn't as bad as it could have been. The concept is good and the story scenes are quite exciting and well put together.
Neelix, who (undeservedly) is a regular object of ridicule by fans, looks creepy in the light as he talks, adding to the atmosphere. The Borg children react well and it feels plausible.
The main problem I found with the concept was my inability to invest in what is actually a pretty good story told by Neelix. You know that if it's true, everything will work out okay in the end and if it's not true you don't really care. Also, it gets annoying when Janeway starts talking to the ship and from then on made me wish it would hurry up and finish.
Very good idea for an episode, but didn't quite hold me.
