User Reviews

A good start to the final season

As season Six came to an end things were not looking good for Janeway, Tuvok and B'Elanna; it looked like their plans to infiltrate the Borg cube had failed and the three of them had been assimilated. We soon learn that this was all part of the plan to give them full access to the cube and that they have been inoculated so they won't become part of the collective for a few hours. As their deadline approaches Tuvok finds himself being drawn into the collective. When the virus is released it has the desired effect; freeing members of Unimatrix Zero from the collective. By the time this has been done however Tuvok has been assimilated and the other two are captured. In an effort to force Janeway to tell her how to cure the virus the Borg Queen shows her just how far she will go to kill off the freed drones leaving Janeway with a dilemma.

Season Seven certainly got off to a good start with plenty of action, an interesting moral dilemma for the captain and a surprise or two that I won't spoil here. Guest star Susanna Thompson did a good job as the Borg Queen; managing to appear friendly and threatening at the same time.
