The context of this is that Voyager's crew provided the Borg with the same nanoprobe weaponry that they used to fight species 8472 in exchange for safe passage. So the Borg were fighting 8472 in other battles, just with a weapon they were given the design for. Thus saying they prevailed in those battles is perfectly accurate, if ungrateful in human terms.
@@rotyler2177 a story Chacotay told janeway about a scorpion and another animal of how the Scorpion betrayed the other animal when both their lives were in danger.
@@rotyler2177 The full story: A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion argues that if it did that, they would both drown. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. The frog lets the scorpion climb on its back and begins to swim. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I couldn't help it. It's in my nature."
I’m honestly surprised that Janeway knows how to write considering I’ve never seen an actual sheet of paper in the trek universe. At least not in the current timeline.
You could see some paper in TOS, both Kirk and Pike worked with that. Also, you see a lot of books. Also, you see Jake handwriting on a Padd some time.
I remember there was an episode in which a woman told Jake Sisco to use a paper, he was surprised but did it. I`m sure they learn it. Padds are cool but there may be some emergency situations that would require handwriting. They probably don`t learn calligraphy though🙃
That show was produced not only in the 90s... and it is literally the beginning of the "new stuff" as they replaced a male hero/captain with a woman that do not need no man...

On a serious note. Seven of Nine's story is really a disturbing one when you think about it.On one hand yes she was kidnapped and assimilated by the Borg. It's the only life she knew, and he comes Janeway to strip that life she knows to force humanity on her. Obviously I'm glad she found her humanity, but there are some ethical questions there. I bring this up because there was a flip of this story line later on where Ichib (a boy that was once Borg) was forced to return to his parents, and the ethical questions around all that. Good shit all around!
Thats the point. Ethical matters. But seven was human and kidnapped. And used to kidnapp human. Its not clever to return her to the collective. They were cruel enemies.
@@miguelaprendizaje.2918 That's a matter of opinion. The Borg, from our perspective, are evil. From the Borg perspective, we are the primitive conflicting hated fill creatures that kill each other and suffer. Seven of None actually described this well when she was learning to be human again.

My point is how I LOVE this kind of "villain" character study and understanding why being the bad person is Start Trek is really a matter of perspective.
Plus the Borg are not ethical as a rule, and it's only seen that way from the outside looking in occasionally. They generally do whatever serves their own ends. Plus Annika was like seven or eight (ironically) years or age or so when assimilated, so she would eventually start to remember what life was before that.
@@jasonpye4649 Thank you for the correction. I was going off the top of my head from an episode I watched many years ago when I still was young and had hair on my head. :)
I did not know it yet, but this was the moment where my time in the Collective had come to the end. My individuation was at hand, but it would be a onerous and painful process, one that would involve many hiccups and a moment where I endangered all of humanity with my deeply-ingrained desires to remain Borg.
So I was watching this episode when my wife walked into the living room and started watching for a bit. As this segment ended, she says, "Why did they go through all that? Why didn't someone just hit her in the back of the head with a chair or brick?" I just looked at her and thought, yeah, why didn't they? 😅
It was never said if they had safe passage through Borg space. Was the Borg just too busy rebuilding after being almost obliterated or did Voyager just exit Borg space as quickly as possible even though that might mean doubling back. Maybe severing the connection gave the Borg pause to try and reevaluate what had happen as to whether just as Voyager had a strategy against the aliens from the matter universe but one against the Borg as well. Obviously, leaving much unsaid is often best for a writer but there's a few questions with this one.
The part with Chakotay never made sense, in the episode where he encountered the free borg they specifically said they didn't need to implant anything into him to temporarily link him to their collective. Yet in Scorpion he states that he had one of their neurotranscievers implanted into his spine. Big contradiction there.
Lol my buddy answering his door. "I'm a homo phobe who believes in gay rights to get married. I donate or don't donate my blood and organs. I have and don't have tattoos on my body.
To me it seems BLATANTLY OBVIOUSL that the earlier "disagreement' between Janeway and Chakotay (I apologize if I UNINTENTIONALLY mis-spelled that) was SPECIFICALLY designed as a misdirection/ploy just incase the Borg were listening in to the two of them. A deception to try to mask/hide the fact that Janeway and Chakotay had developed a contingency plan incase the Borg tried their own FEEBLE attempt at treachery. Hence Janeway's saying to Chakotay: "Scorpion". I mean SERIOUSLY, why ELSE would Chakotay be ready in a Borg Regenerative Alcove? Just my own personal opinion anyway
This was one of the very few moments when Chakotay acted the part of a First Officer. He went to his captain with his concerns and they devised a plan of action that relied on his obedience and his independence to pull off. The captain, conversely, was able to proceed with her plan by relying on her first officer to do his part when he was needed. This is the relationship Picard and Riker had in nearly every episode of TNG, and which no Trek after it has come close to replicating.
They might have been too weak at that point to successfully fight off 8472. That would then leave 8472 to go on a rampage throughout the delta quadrant.
Voyager needed the help of the Borg to make that plan work. If they tried to let the Borg be destroyed first, the Borg would have no reason not to assimilate them.
Watching this back I always wondered why an 8472 ship could absolutely annihilate a borg cube in single shot, yet Voyager could tank it with just damage to shields/weapons. Obviously this is for plot purposes but still...
Simple thing : Borg need to adopt to tank something. Voyager thou? Ablative armor (YES, she has that NORMALY as HULL ya know? She in line with Defiants and Akira's and more modern warships ment to, when need arises, fight the borg) PLUS multiphasic shielding, aka changing their frequency constantly wich is the main reason she survives those at least 3 hits from 8472 unlike the borg cubes. Also the borg upgrades increased her armor and shield power a lot (like they do in STO btw. loved it back then when it was the best you can get, still love the buffs to all systems they give) so it was obvious a mere frigate of them couldnt do shit against a ship able to 1v1 a TACTICAL CUBE and survive(not win, that was alway's out of question).
You would think with all the years and advancements in technology, the Federation couldn't come up with some type of shield that absorbs the energy and either bleeds it off or uses it in it's own offensive arrays. How many times have we heard, "Shields failing, engines and weapons are offline"?
Shield generators are failing because of all the extra energy/work that this shields are exposed to not becuse they are out of energy... and the newer ships in star trek have stronger shields but for kinda obvious reason they also use stronger weapons and enemies must mount stronger weapons when stronger shields are developed... Even mirror can't reflect most of the light that u shine on it if u use the "wrong" type of light that have the "wrong" wavelenght and why your enemy would be using the corect type if the whole point of firing is to damage your ship?
While 7 of 9 was still connected to the Borg collective, Tess would have had to manipulate the entire hive mind at once to achieve that. "Strong you are with Dark Side young one... but not THAT strong."
I’m surprised 7 didn’t just assimilate Tom instead of just simply pushing him away. I mean, you would’ve assumed that she could’ve just assimilated him so there’s another drone to help assimilate the rest. 🤷🏻♂️
At 2m17s why is the doctor wearing a yellow (or gold) uniform of a science officer, he should be wearing blue since he's medical. Also, I thought Borg space was vast, I remember that the Borg turned on Voyager but they didn't make it really clear on how Voyager got through their vast space without them honoring their agreement. It should take many weeks if not months to pass through Borg territory and without them honoring their agreement, Voyager should have not made it through or they should have had to take a very very long way around it adding years to their journey.
love the show. haha not to nit pic too much but she is using a quill pen all wrong, they do not work like a modern pen, all strokes must go down the sloped table
I like the scene, except for the unneccessary drama! If you know how to knock a drone out, why not have that prepared so you just have to, well "plug and play" (like say a USB-Thumb-Drive!)...in it goes and bam! :(
Last ? Nope. Best? Yes. Thou sad that they lose the ability to beat them so easily later on as Species 8472 adopts once more, so do the borg. Those terible loses? Yea will never happen again. Transphasic torps? They where near imune to them at the end. Destroying a part of Unimatrix 01? HARDLY put a dent into them. It set them back shure but not much. Also one has to say.. its voyagers fault realy... they assimilated the ablative armor generator in the last episode so its only natural that they would now PWN 8472.
Sadly, no matter how many episodes and how much I wanted to like her. I could never buy Kate Mulgrew's Janeway. She said her lines fine and made all the right sounds/expressions. But she always looked/felt like she was an actress playing Janeway. As opposed to just 'being' Janeway. ☮
Or JJ not actually taking on the challenge, being clever and playing in the same sandbox that had been established for 40-plus years. He could have still done the same exact time period cuz that time was only loosely fleshed out anyway. The bones were there and that was about it. If he had had some decent writers, decent help and been a decent partner in the cause of Trek, it could have been good. It's utterly embarrassing that newbies coming into the franchise only knowing those movies, they think that's what Trek is and that alone?!? As if. I remember years ago explaining how I felt about Trek, what it meant to me and this person said something like 'oh wow, I would have gotten nothing like that out of these movies' and then I explained the 09 film and what I knew of the others (never saw them in theaters or fully otherwise as there wasn't a point). Just like the new Star Wars could have been exceptional if they had taken George Lucas's original treatments for a sequel, combine that with a few new things here and there of course as things need to advance, but more importantly as a framework attempted to the best of their ability the expanded universe material. There are reasons why that worked but they were clearly tossed out the window with the bathwater. That's my three-legged stool to stand on: a melding of expanded universe stuff, George Lucas's original treatments for a sequel and some new things to make it mesh.
@@jasonpye4649 I strongly agree. Star Trek isn't the same as it used to be.... but "Star Trek: Lower Decks" however to me is an exception as they did what and succeeded..... where both "Star Trek: Discovery" and "Star Trek: Picard" had failed to do.
I always wondered why Starfleet didn't just use swords or axes on the Borg. Just chop them up hahaha. They would literally just stand there and let you do it probably. They've always been stupidly designed enemies in my opinion. Way too many loopholes and nonsense logic.
@@MilsurpMikeChannel Indeed. Though that's probably not the best idea for inside a starship. Maybe you could use plastic bullets design to fracture on impact like in the show: The Expanse.
Getting within arms reach of a Borg was a really bad idea. Those borg assimilation tubes still had a lot sting. Could knock a human out almost instantly.

Agreed. However, I also found Kate Vernon (prior to her BSG role) as a very attractive Species 8472 agent who masqueraded as a Starfleet officer.
Except answering your door naked won’t drive them off hehe
@@rowlandbuck2703 Giggity Giggity ALRIGHT!

The voice over effect when Chakotay speaks, is there a name for that?
Reverberation? In wikipedia there is article "Reverb effect" and many types of it are described there.
To me it seems BLATANTLY OBVIOUSL that the earlier "disagreement' between Janeway and Chakotay (I apologize if I UNINTENTIONALLY mis-spelled that) was SPECIFICALLY designed as a misdirection/ploy just incase the Borg were listening in to the two of them. A deception to try to mask/hide the fact that Janeway and Chakotay had developed a contingency plan incase the Borg tried their own FEEBLE attempt at treachery.
Hence Janeway's saying to Chakotay: "Scorpion".
I mean SERIOUSLY, why ELSE would Chakotay be ready in a Borg Regenerative Alcove?
Just my own personal opinion anyway
That was literally the point
This was one of the very few moments when Chakotay acted the part of a First Officer. He went to his captain with his concerns and they devised a plan of action that relied on his obedience and his independence to pull off. The captain, conversely, was able to proceed with her plan by relying on her first officer to do his part when he was needed.
This is the relationship Picard and Riker had in nearly every episode of TNG, and which no Trek after it has come close to replicating.
"Shields failing, engines and weapons are offline"....."this ship is junk. Enough already."
Ah when TV was worth watching.
Ilove tis si❤❤
Would have done better to let 8472 destroy the bulk of the collective before sharing the countermeasure.
Maybe you could have done that if you'd been in this situation. I wonder how well it would have gone.
They might have been too weak at that point to successfully fight off 8472. That would then leave 8472 to go on a rampage throughout the delta quadrant.
if the fludic aliens defeated the Borg, all four quadrants would be in trouble.
@@SantomPh logically
Voyager needed the help of the Borg to make that plan work. If they tried to let the Borg be destroyed first, the Borg would have no reason not to assimilate them.
Did Seven create a singularity to escape? 🤔🤔
Bioships? Genetic purity? It reminds me of the Yuuzhan Vong from Star Wars.
Watching this back I always wondered why an 8472 ship could absolutely annihilate a borg cube in single shot, yet Voyager could tank it with just damage to shields/weapons. Obviously this is for plot purposes but still...
Simple thing : Borg need to adopt to tank something. Voyager thou? Ablative armor (YES, she has that NORMALY as HULL ya know? She in line with Defiants and Akira's and more modern warships ment to, when need arises, fight the borg) PLUS multiphasic shielding, aka changing their frequency constantly wich is the main reason she survives those at least 3 hits from 8472 unlike the borg cubes. Also the borg upgrades increased her armor and shield power a lot (like they do in STO btw. loved it back then when it was the best you can get, still love the buffs to all systems they give) so it was obvious a mere frigate of them couldnt do shit against a ship able to 1v1 a TACTICAL CUBE and survive(not win, that was alway's out of question).
Tank it? Where do you get that expression from?
@@aardvarkbiscuit2677 in the context I'm using it, it means the ability to handle damage without significant damage
@@pjnathgaming - I thought you might be an Eve player.
@@aardvarkbiscuit2677 I did play star trek online for a time
You would think with all the years and advancements in technology, the Federation couldn't come up with some type of shield that absorbs the energy and either bleeds it off or uses it in it's own offensive arrays. How many times have we heard, "Shields failing, engines and weapons are offline"?
Shield generators are failing because of all the extra energy/work that this shields are exposed to not becuse they are out of energy... and the newer ships in star trek have stronger shields but for kinda obvious reason they also use stronger weapons and enemies must mount stronger weapons when stronger shields are developed...
Even mirror can't reflect most of the light that u shine on it if u use the "wrong" type of light that have the "wrong" wavelenght and why your enemy would be using the corect type if the whole point of firing is to damage your ship?
Chakotay spirit quest I mean scorpion.
*PLOT TWIST: 8-Bit DiVinci was behind it ALL*
Weird how Kes couldn't use her jedi mind powers on Seven here
While 7 of 9 was still connected to the Borg collective, Tess would have had to manipulate the entire hive mind at once to achieve that. "Strong you are with Dark Side young one... but not THAT strong."
The Borg do not keep their word.
Janeway is a cocky and reckless captain. But... She Prevailed... She is still cocky!
Boobalian Prime: Acquired.
I’m surprised 7 didn’t just assimilate Tom instead of just simply pushing him away.
I mean, you would’ve assumed that she could’ve just assimilated him so there’s another drone to help assimilate the rest. 🤷🏻♂️
Pilot loverboys don't make good Borg.
Then janeway has 7 returned to a delicious human specimen 😊
STV episode Scorpion part 2 😁
This was a good two part episode.
So, the Borg and Humans ran into the Star Trek's version of The Shadows of Babylon 5?.
Engage the Garlic Rectifiers and launch the onion torpedoes.
I would still do 7 of 9 as a BORG !
The borg altered the deal pray they dont alter it further
At 2m17s why is the doctor wearing a yellow (or gold) uniform of a science officer, he should be wearing blue since he's medical. Also, I thought Borg space was vast, I remember that the Borg turned on Voyager but they didn't make it really clear on how Voyager got through their vast space without them honoring their agreement. It should take many weeks if not months to pass through Borg territory and without them honoring their agreement, Voyager should have not made it through or they should have had to take a very very long way around it adding years to their journey.
I believe the difference in suit colors was one was Federation and the other was the Maquis.
Best thing about species 8427 is 7 of 9. 🤣🤣🤣
Ja ja so sieht das aus nur wohin geht die Reise
"RE-SISTANCE IS FUTILE"
🤖🧬🧟♀️🧬🏃🏾♀️
how long has KES had longb hair ?????????????/
@howardsix9708, First showed up in the last half dozen episodes of the 3rd season. Before and After was the first one, IIRC.
realy tom restance is futel 7 gave him a good push lmao
love the show. haha not to nit pic too much but she is using a quill pen all wrong, they do not work like a modern pen, all strokes must go down the sloped table
Seven can't push anyone out of the way. Other crew members should have gave her a beaten
I like the scene, except for the unneccessary drama! If you know how to knock a drone out, why not have that prepared so you just have to, well "plug and play" (like say a USB-Thumb-Drive!)...in it goes and bam! :(
Why is she writing like she is sending a letter to the king of England in 1600?
Last ? Nope. Best? Yes. Thou sad that they lose the ability to beat them so easily later on as Species 8472 adopts once more, so do the borg. Those terible loses? Yea will never happen again. Transphasic torps? They where near imune to them at the end. Destroying a part of Unimatrix 01? HARDLY put a dent into them. It set them back shure but not much. Also one has to say.. its voyagers fault realy... they assimilated the ablative armor generator in the last episode so its only natural that they would now PWN 8472.
I sympathized with Seven. She liked being borg, she wanted to be borg yet Janeway said no.
Sadly, no matter how many episodes and how much I wanted to like her.
I could never buy Kate Mulgrew's Janeway.
She said her lines fine and made all the right sounds/expressions.
But she always looked/felt like she was an actress playing Janeway.
As opposed to just 'being' Janeway.

There were so many lines! The memorization must have been epic
Why didn't they just beam her into the nearest star? Oh, sorry. her/it.
Back when Star Trek was Star Trek, and not Star Drek.
Or Woke Trek
Star Trek crybaby
@@andrewguest6941 Or new crappy shows that are TERRIBLE such as Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard TV Series.
Or JJ not actually taking on the challenge, being clever and playing in the same sandbox that had been established for 40-plus years. He could have still done the same exact time period cuz that time was only loosely fleshed out anyway. The bones were there and that was about it. If he had had some decent writers, decent help and been a decent partner in the cause of Trek, it could have been good. It's utterly embarrassing that newbies coming into the franchise only knowing those movies, they think that's what Trek is and that alone?!? As if. I remember years ago explaining how I felt about Trek, what it meant to me and this person said something like 'oh wow, I would have gotten nothing like that out of these movies' and then I explained the 09 film and what I knew of the others (never saw them in theaters or fully otherwise as there wasn't a point).
Just like the new Star Wars could have been exceptional if they had taken George Lucas's original treatments for a sequel, combine that with a few new things here and there of course as things need to advance, but more importantly as a framework attempted to the best of their ability the expanded universe material. There are reasons why that worked but they were clearly tossed out the window with the bathwater. That's my three-legged stool to stand on: a melding of expanded universe stuff, George Lucas's original treatments for a sequel and some new things to make it mesh.
@@jasonpye4649 I strongly agree. Star Trek isn't the same as it used to be.... but "Star Trek: Lower Decks" however to me is an exception as they did what and succeeded..... where both "Star Trek: Discovery" and "Star Trek: Picard" had failed to do.

It's amazing what you can do with a cheap piece of meat if you know how to treat it.
Wtf?
It's a metaphor involving steak preparation.
"Dow It"
Later 7 of 9 does 69 with Chakotay. Since he thought about it
I always wondered why Starfleet didn't just use swords or axes on the Borg. Just chop them up hahaha. They would literally just stand there and let you do it probably. They've always been stupidly designed enemies in my opinion. Way too many loopholes and nonsense logic.
Or bullets....
@@MilsurpMikeChannel Indeed. Though that's probably not the best idea for inside a starship. Maybe you could use plastic bullets design to fracture on impact like in the show: The Expanse.
Getting within arms reach of a Borg was a really bad idea. Those borg assimilation tubes still had a lot sting. Could knock a human out almost instantly.
