It's a shame. The series somehow does not get better, although the storylines are finally developing. After the excellent, exciting (but also daring) Pilot-episode the series is developing poorly and in the completely wrong direction. This episode is a low point. In the pilot episode, I still thought: okay, development has to be, there can also be changes. It has to evolve. But what is this "everything is bad. Everyone is bad. The good is dead"-stuff? This has nothing to do with Star Trek anymore! It's more "expanse", just a lot worse ... Cheap horror (gutting Borg), stupid comedy (French accent), unbelievable action (everything in the bar), long predictable elements (Wow! The doc is a traitor), unnecessary effects without any sense (spam holograms) and many more.
Seven (Jeri Ryan) could not save the episode, the absurd character twist is something, I m not taken. The return to the planet as an angel of revenge is ridiculous and only arose out of the cheap compulsion to prove: yeah, take a look: Star Trek is now a dark series!...why the hell !?
