possible spoilers. Voyager had a habit of just ignoring canon to do whatever they wanted. In this episode we see 7's parents hunting the Borg years before the federation were aware they existed but having been granted permission by the federation. Janeway is her usual questionable self, any male captain would have stood before a tribunal upon return to earth for the decisions they made but her they promoted. More and more you have to wonder if anyone writing voyager bothered to review federation and trek history. i don't why i do this to myself every few years, I think to remind myself just how terrible voyager really was.
