“I must say, there’s nothing like the vacuum of space for preserving a handsome corpse.”
This appears to be a Chakotay episode.
They need a Racetrack, then they’ll find what they’re looking for
This series really has a thing about women getting lost. What’s up with that?
Really all of them are lost most of the time. A few weeks ago we got the Neelix angst episode about entering the vast unknown beyond his knowledge base… so yeah they’re all lost together now.
this is an interesting use of light and shadow to avoid the identity reveal
I kind of spoiled myself checking Memory Alpha. I’m seen this episode before, but I’d forgotten the twist.
BOOOORRRRRG!
But it’s not time for Seven yet. I think there are still… 8 or 9 episodes? Until we get her
Ewww! He just took a bite off that string bean and put it back in the basket! :eek:
NO SPOILERS!
11000 dead bodies? Ugh. So much death.
Is this an allusion to Species 8472? Species 8472!
OK I guess I was over-foreshadowing.
Although it is revealed in dialogue here that the Borg Cube was disabled by an electrokinetic storm, Torres’ suggestion that the Borg may have been defeated “by an enemy even more powerful than they were” seems to foreshadow the introduction of Species 8472, who went on to make their first appearance in VOY: “Scorpion” at the end of the third season. This was, indeed, the intention of “Scorpion” co-writer Brannon Braga; to tie the two episodes together, in this manner, while making the events of each episode independently understandable. At the time, Braga said, “‘Scorpion’ definitely ties in with an event in ‘Unity’ but not such that you would have to have seen that episode to understand it. In ‘Unity’, we find a disabled cube. It was really never made clear how the cube was destroyed, and now [meaning in ‘Scorpion’] you’ll find out […] So ‘Unity’ is only a hint of things to come.”
Lots of ominous incidental music.
Borg reveal!
That Romulan doesn’t look so Romulan. But maybe I’m confused.
Mini-Collective! :eek:
One should ever be suspicious of mind control…
no individuality…
“one harmonious family bent on the assimilation of innocent cultures”
So, my issue with this: They reject the forcible assimilation of the Borg, but they plan to force the rest of the former Borg to rejoin their Collective. How is that different?
I wonder about Chakotay’s connection to the cooperative, does it persist over distance, etc.
Agreed. It’s like a drug addiction or something… but it was clear that they weren’t so big on individuality
I assume you saw the bit on Memory Alpha about the metaphor to the post-Soviet bloc
how long ideals last in the face of power. well isnt’ that the question.
