Goofs

Tuvok is seen from over his left shoulder as he says to Seven, "I will accompany you to the surface. You don't have to go alone." His jaw moves as he speaks, but it stops after the first sentence. The second sentence's audio is slightly different than the first. Dubbed in post-production.

User Reviews

Seven is having a meltdown...

Captain Janeway is going through some very complicated negotiations with some super-annoying people called the B'omar. The B'omar act like they want to help Voyager and will allow it to go through its territory BUT the longer the negotiations go, the more intractable and difficult they seem. It's made a lot worse by Seven of Nine, as she seems to be having a nervous breakdown of sorts and she's receiving some odd images in her mind. In the midst of the negotiations, she goes nuts, steals a shuttle and goes flying into B'omar space. So much for diplomacy.

This is an okay episode of the series. Seven gets to explore her roots and not a whole lot more occurs in this one. Not bad--but also not all that interesting and little is accomplished.
