Reviews of Star Trek Voyager sixteen years on. Is it really as bad as I remember it?

Episodes 109 & 110: Dark Frontier
And so we have two episodes as one, kind of like the Spice Girls... or the Borg and hey, look who it is.
Voyager is randomly attacked by a Borg rectangle, I’ll say this for them, they do like their geometry. Inexplicably Voyager wins and in amongst the cuboid’s wreckage they find schematics for Borg ships in the area. I presume Janeway had watched Ocean’s Eleven the night before because now she wants to launch a heist on one of the spheres to get a Transwarp Coil. However the Borg Queen being who she is (who is she?) is aware of this all the time (no really, who is she?). The heist goes to plan apart from Seven being captured by the Borg as they want to use her individuality to assimilate Earth.... ookay. Needless to say she’s rescued again and everyone lives happily ever after, even managing to get closer to Earth in the attempt. So that’s the Borg Queen on 0 for 2 in trying to get people to join the Borg, I mean even Tasha Yar managed to seduce Data.
Also shown in flashback throughout the episodes is Seven when she was... well, seven with her scientist parents chasing after the Borg to examine them. This is about the time that the Enterprise couldn’t defeat them and they’re bringing their child along? Of course now every person and their dog can kill the Borg.
(If I did captions for the photos it’d read “Stop hitting yourself”. If I did.)
