Captain Janeway...what ARE you thinking?!
26 February 2015
Warning: Spoilers
For Captain Janeway, this is an odd two-parter because her character acts very odd compared to the usual Janeway. First, she announces she's tired of dealing with the Borg from a defensive posture after Voyager blows up a Borg ship. The plan? She wants to send a team aboard a damaged Borg ship and steal its warp core. But here is where Janeway gets REALLY weird--she insists that Seven get in touch with her childhood and practically forces her to read through her idiot* father's old logs. Not surprisingly, this really messes with Seven's brain. Later, when they do attack, Seven unexpectedly rejoins the Collective--perhaps due, in part, to her PTSD and reading Daddy's log. Sure, there's a bit more to it than that...but you do wonder how much Janeway's orders led to this.

This is an exciting episode. However apart from Janeway, you learn that Seven's father is extra-stupid and practically does everything he can to destroy his family! Still, the show is full of action and high on the cool factor.
