Icheb and Seven – The strongest part of this story is the relationship between Icheb and Seven. The drama between him, Voyager and the other drones is compelling though. He’s threatened by anyone who questions him but we don’t know his backstory, just that he wants to rejoin the Collective more than anything. It is only Seven showing them there is another away and Second (Icheb) taking charge that shows them that they can have another life free, on Voyager. The one thing I’ll say against them is I wish First had been explored more. The Drones – The Drones are fascinating as what drives them is the desire to be back with the Collective. Harry usually always has bad stuff happen to him, which is a shame as there is so much potential in the character. I enjoyed seeing him take charge though and wish he’d gotten a win. Sadly he is captured and experimented on by the Borg. Thanks to Janeway he puts a plan in motion to shut down the Cube so that his crewmembers can be rescued. Harry Kim – Harry Kim is the only member of the crew who the Borg children haven’t captured initially. This episode shows why she was Captain of Voyager. Her point freaks him out so much that he refuses to speak to her again. She’s stern and powerful and works masterfully when she confronts the First, the leader of the Borg children. In this we see that she cares about the Borg children but also is doing all she can to save her captured crewmembers. The story follows Voyager as they seek to rescue Harry, Chakotay, Tom and Neelix when a Borg Cube run by assimilated children captures them.Ĭaptain Janeway – This is a good Captain Janeway episode.

The episode was directed by Allison Liddi with teleplay by Michael Taylor and story by Andrew Shepard Price and Mark Gaberman. This is later in the show and is a great example of how “Voyager” could still put out quality episodes, even as they were winding down. It brought back memories for me watching it as it was in Middle School I’d catch episodes on UPN when I got home from school. Before I get into story details, if you are a fan of “Voyager” you should check this episode out. The tension is real, we get some wonderful character development of the Voyager crew and the Borg we meet.
