Episode 146: Unimatrix Zero Part I



Remember when the Borg were innovative and exciting? Well here they are again for the 45th time this season.

Janeway and Chakotay pretend to punish Paris but really they make him a Lieutenant again, surprise! So he’s back to where he was two years ago, just like the show. Meanwhile Seven imagines she’s in a forest with a mysterious man during her regeneration (non TimeLord). She tells the Doctor who tells her about dreams despite her having dreamed in several episodes already. Seven has the same dream again, the man’s name is Axum, a Borg who used to date Seven or some bloody thing. The forest is a rare mutation of Borgs who are able to be in this place they call Unimatrix Zero but they can’t remember in the real world. Seven says that there is no Unimatrix Zero. Only Zuul? She meets others in the place including one assimilated at Wolf 359... was there ANYONE who wasn’t assimilated at Wolf 359?! The Borg Queen is attempting to eliminate the mutation so Seven brings Janeway in the next time using Tuvok’s Mind Meld Malarky (which should be a spinoff show). Janeway agrees to help them thinking of them like the Borg resistance. Isn’t that supposed to be futile? Anyway, just then Borgs attack... in the dream, Freddy Krueger must be spinning in his grave. On Voyager they devise a virus to give the Borg in Unimatrix Zero memory of the dream. It’s called the save function. Tuvok, Torres and Janeway go in the Delta Flyer to deliver the virus to the centre of a Borg cube. After they beam onto the cube the Flyer is destroyed. No, Paris will have to spend all his free time with Torres now! Borg then capture the away team and assimilate them, the last shot is Janeway as a Borg.

And that ladies and gentlemen is the end of the Best Of Both Wo... no wait, the end of season six!
