As the episode first started I
wasn't sure that it was going to be a very good one. Don't get me
wrong, I like Seven of Nine. But the idea of the multiple personalities,
while it offered an interesting story line, it just didn't seem to be very
interesting to me. I was wrong. I actually enjoyed this
episode quite a lot. While it wasn't(in my opinion) as good as last
weeks Voyager("Timeless"),
this episode still had its points. The battle scene at the end could
have been done better. At least the ship shook from time to time
and control panels blinked :) As far as the story goes it turned
out to be all right, while this wasn't one of the best Voyagers, it was
definitely worth seeing. This story had some serious implications
as far as Seven of Nine's character development was concerned. In
the end she indicated an interest in participating in recreational activities.
I was happy to see Voyager
actually hold out for a while in the battle, I've been getting tired of
Voyager being out gunned and powered in every conflict. My overall
thoughts on this episode contradict my opening thoughts(as in many episodes).
I gave this episode a 7.5 rating because it was good to have an episode
that explored in more detail Seven of Nine, and gave her some development.
Stardock Alpha rating: 7.5
