Scorpion / Scorpion, Part II (VOY)

Star Trek: Voyager, Series 3, Episode 26 / Series 4, Episode 1. First broadcast on Wednesday 21 May 1997 and Wednesday 3 September 1997. Stardate: 50984.3. As Voyager approaches the end of its third year, it’s time for its very own version of The Best of Both Worlds. And here it is, complete with a massive encounter with the Borg, clouds of débris, a terrifying new enemy, dissension among the commanding officers, and the unveiling of an entirely new kind of human—Borg hybrid. But because it’s Voyager, there’s also people doing things for no reason and a central conflict disposed of in an unsatisfying way. But (again) because it’s Voyager, there’s some great weird visuals, a cool new holodeck program, and yet another arresting performance from the Queen of Star Trek, Her Royal Highness, Captain Kathryn Janeway.
