And here we are at the end of Season Three and Voyager has finally reached the edge of Borg space. In the episode though it seems there’s a different alien race to be wary of. CGI Species 8472 can obliterate the Borg so Janeway faces a difficult choice.
I like that finally Janeway it seems will virtually do anything to get the crew home, and in this case, do a deal with the devil of the Star Trek universe. Chakotay though (how does he stay tanned on that ship? Couldn’t that power get them home?) thinks differently which leads to a good scene between the two, his parables notwithstanding.
The finale also sees the first appearance of the holographic Leonardo DaVinci that Janeway confides in. Well, who can blame her, she probably looks around the bridge and thinks “Y’know I’ll just talk to someone on the holodeck.”.
While I’m here, and it was in this episode again, what’s with the contacting an alien ship and leaving it about a second before the officer says “No response.”? It’s probably because they used to go out and don’t want all the awkwardness, “Nah, they’re not in.”. Of course in this case it’s Tuvok and 8472. *shudder*
