So then with Seven arriving last episode someone must leave and unfortunately it’s Kes. I’ve said often in these reviews that Kes, especially when she’s not with Neelix, is one of the better crew members.
Basically this episode involves Seven (I get the feeling that’s all I’ll be saying from here on out) being more integrated into the crew and wearing her jumpsuit along with Kes discovering her psychic powers have increased, so much so she must leave Voyager. But her parting gift? She gets them 10 years closer to home. Obviously she didn’t want to give them the whole 70 years, she’ll get them another 10 years for Christmas.
One interesting thing from this story is the Borg enhancements put on Voyager in the Scorpion two parter are still on it in this story, so why couldn’t they have done stuff like that before and not have it all resolved in an episode? I’m sure people didn’t turn it on, see the enhancements and turn it off in confusion. More likely they turned it off for a variety of other reasons.
As mentioned the bulk of this episode is about the comings and goings of Seven and Kes. Unfortunately it appears to be a very Seven heavy story with Kes consigned almost to a ‘B’ plot which is a shame for her last regular story and really there are other characters on Voyager who they could have gotten rid of and no-one would’ve noticed, I really don’t need to name them do I?
