Jack's Review
A very well done episode showing off the acting skills of Robert Beltran. I personally love the reaction of Janeway when the derelict Borg ship is discovered. The atmosphere is dark and foreboding - aiming at where the series is headed.

Absolutely epic! We watched this one together and at the end there were three people saying "oh my gawd..." I see why this one was named among the best Trek episodes of all time.

Jack's Review
A simply excellent Seven of Nine story. Love the interaction between Seven and Harry as well as giving us some background on her family. I really enjoyed the negotiations with the B'omar too - plenty of comedic value there.

Excellent end to a terrific season. In this episode we went from feeling excited that the crew may have found a way home to being sad that Voyager would need to be left behind. Overall a very good story.

Drone

The Doctor's mobile emitter is damaged while beaming back from an away mission, merging with Seven of Nine's Borg nanoprobes and the DNA of a male Ensign to create a 29th century Borg.

Jack's Review
Excellent episode. The new drone is well played and actually quite well used in the episode. I do enjoy what the writers are doing with the Borg in the Voyager series. They are vulnerable - something quite contrary to the first Borg episodes in the Next Generation series.

One of the best of the entire series. The opening with Tom, Harry, Neelix, and Chakotay is one of the most memorable Trek moments ever....just watch the look on Tom's face. Amazing story.

Jack's Review
The first part of this season-ender is good but the premise is a tad strange and I find it a bit odd that Janeway would try what she does to help Borg drones....however, the second part is pretty bad-ass.....
Episode:701

Janeway, B'Elanna and Tuvok are assimilated by the Borg while attempting to save the group of drones who have developed individuality.

So...Janeway lets herself be assimilated to stick it to the Borg Queen? I think that cements her as THE baddest Starfleet Captain ever.

Endgame
Jack's Rating:
In an alternate future where it took Voyager 23 years to get home, Admiral Janeway devises a plan to alter history. As the crew enter a final showdown with the Borg, the two Janeways implement a risky plan to take out one of the six Borg Transwarp Hubs in the galaxy and simultaneously cross the transwarp threshold to get home.

An amazing and fitting end to easily one of the greatest Star Trek stories ever. Easily as epic as "All Good Things", this one has everything you would want in a series finale.
