229: The Doctor Gave Me a Pill and I Grew a New Interplexing Beacon

Drone.   What do you get when you cross a few Borg nanoprobes, a piece of 29th-century holographic technology, and the DNA of a Starfleet ensign? One extremely souped-up 29th-century Borg drone! But this drone also comes with a human heart, willing to sacrifice himself for the well-being of his Voyager collective.   In this episode of To The Journey, hosts Zachary Fruhling, Suzanne Williamson, and Kay Shaw take a dive into a Borg maturation chamber as they discuss the fifth-season Voyager episode "Drone."   Chapters  Intro (00:00:00)  One is the Loneliest Number (00:01:53)  I'll Have a Deuterium Gin Fizz Please (00:04:39)  Hashtag No Boundaries (00:07:54)  Deborgifying is Harder Than Borgifying (00:12:39)  Input!!
