+Another simple episode.
+Seven of Nine is starts being controlled by people who were once assimilated by the Borg.
+During the course of episode it is revealed that is caused by a weapon Species 6339 aimed at Borg.
+
+### Impressions
+
+Story wise, we've got not much to talk about here. 
+
+But this is the first time I've noticed how *beautiful* Voyager is.
+Since almost the entire episode takes place on the ship, we see a lot if it.
+It's mostly corridors, but still - I love the aesthetics we've got here.
+The ship is much darker than Enterprise was, but it's still not pitch black.
+It's atmospheric, without being overly grim.
+Season 5 had to receive a significant funding upgrade.

+
+I've also noticed how consistent the design of aliens is.
+They mostly limit the FX to adding something on the face, but they do it an away that makes it believable.
+They make them look similar enough to make me believe that this place actually exits.
+
+Also, we see a lot a little girl here (Naomi).
+She is cute and not annoying.
+Previously, whenever we've seen a child on *Star Trek*, we could assume that it will be (as the kids say) cringe.
+Seems the writers learned how to write kids properly.
+
+But this is Seven's episode, and we are finally able to see what a great actress Jeri Ryan is.
+Since she is being possessed by different races, she can be a Human, Klingon and Ferengi - all in the span of a single episode
+And she nails each one, especially Ferengi. 
+The second she became one there was no doubt who this persona is.
+The way she speaks, her moves, even the hand twitching.
+Perfect.
+
+Also, one of the personas was a little girl. 
+Never before have I thought that Borg would assimilate a small kid.
+I'm getting soft with age as this really moved me.
+
+Finally, we see growth of Seven.
+This episode and her relation with Naomi mark a huge step toward regaining her human side.
+
+### Doctor Factor
+
+Failed! There was quite a lot of him here, but he as not given a chance go shine
