It’s the Borg! Sort of. Well almost. Chakotay discovers a group of ex-borg (assimilated during Wolf 359) living as a ‘cooperative’ who want to connect together again. I guess they’re just like regular geeks, in that things are never as good as they used to be, even when they used to be being assimilated and killing people. That’s rose tinted Borg for you.
When Riley, the woman who’s been subtly seducing Chakotay (why?!), tries to convince Janeway to help them reactivate their Borg links again Janeway is for once understandably cautious. What could possibly go wrong? But then she’s probably just jealous of Chakotay’s new bit on the side. Considering he’s the most boring man on Voyager how does he keep getting these women?
We never see the Cooperative again, which is a shame, as they were actually interesting and there’s a lot you could do with them. But I guess the Voyager producers had a plan. Ever forward and new aliens.. Or ever backward and living off old ideas. Oh and another Voyager crewperson dies in this episode. I like the idea that by the time the series finishes there’s only about five of them left trying to fly the ship with a complicated system of pulleys.
