there are fights everywhere. +Yep, not a great outlook at that point. + +But with each passing scene we gain more and more of hope. +Jenway is, once again, put in a position no other Trek captain has ever seen. +She is, without a shroud of doubt, the toughest captain of all the Treks I've seen before. +Sisco may have committed a genocide, but it was much less personal. +Jenway is forced to make the hardest decisions about people she knows. +Lucky for her, Checkotay is here as her consciousness. +He may not add much more to the crew, but I'll be damned if this wasn't enough. +If it wasn't for him, Voyager would be as evil as the crew of Equinox. + +On the other side of the war, Doctor is torturing Seven. +I found this plot to be as exciting as the primary one, but much more interesting. +Doctor, who we all grew to love, who developed personality and, dare I say it? Humanity, is still a simulation. +Everything he _is_, can be removed within a blink of an eye by resetting his program. +And this is what we get here - after he is taken aboard Equinox, he is stripped of everything that made him _The_ Doctor. +His relation with Seven of Nine is thrown out the window when he is forced to extract information from her using a scalpel. +It ended well, but can we still treat the Doctor as a person? +I hope authors will revisit this problem. + +Lastly, we've got the redemption of the Equinox crew. +This is what I found the most important, as this is what keeps me watching Star Trek. +No one is _evil_ for the sake of being evil, but the conditions we find ourselves in force us to act, not how we would like. +But, deep inside, we are _good_ creatures. + +As much as I hated _Part 1_, the complete _Equinox_ is nothing short of amazing. +It is saved by the latter half, as without it, we would have some Expanse (which I found to be a disgusting series). +I was afraid that _Voyager_ may have reached the point, where authors would abandon everything they've built since the 1960s. +I am happy to report that this was not the case. + + +## Doctor factor {#doctor-factor} + +Well, I didn't like Doctor in this episode, but it made it so much more interesting. +One of the greatest Doctor factors yet! + +{{< image source="https://voy.trekcore.com/" class="centered" alt="Jewnway looking angrily at an officer" file="voy6x01a.jpg" >}} +Seconds before a bad decision +{{< /image >}} diff --git a/content/star-trek/voy/06x02-survival-instinct.md b/content/star-trek/voy/06x02-survival-instinct.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..13705de --- /dev/null +++ b/content/star-trek/voy/06x02-survival-instinct.md @@ -0,0 +1,58 @@ ++++ +title = "Star Trek: Voyager 06x02 Survival Instinct" +author = ["Michał Sapka"] +date = 2024-10-05T09:27:00+02:00 +draft = false +weight = 3002 +image_dir = "images" +image_max_width = 575 +hasNavSection = "st-voy-episodes" +abstract = "My mini review" +episode_id = "6x02" +[menu] + [menu.star-trek] + weight = 3002 + identifier = "star-trek-voyager-06x02-survival-instinct" + parent = "voy" ++++ + +Voyager docks at Markonian Outpost Space Station, a place welcoming everyone and every idea. +Seven finds, among those people, three of her old acquaintances. + + +## Impressions {#impressions} + +At first, I was expecting _Star Trek_ to continue ripping of _Babylon 5_, since they haven't finished the job with _DS9_. +Luckily, the episode quickly went its own way. + +Seven's relation to Borg is one of the main returning plots, but very rarely we hear about the experiences of other ex-drones. +It's even rarer to see it done well. +_TNG_ tried it with Third of Nine, but let's face it - authors were still learning how to handle such subjects. +Their skills had yet to reach the level of their ambition. + +We meet three other ex-drones from Seven's Unimatrix. +Their disconnect from the Collective was done much less effectively than what the Doctor has done to Seven. +They were disconnected from other drones, but not from themselves. +It's an interesting idea. +We've got three individuals who are forced to live like Drones, since all their thoughts are transmitted between them. + +What I didn't like was the other aspect of their story. +We are learning about a mission of this Unimatrix, where most of the drones started developing individuality. +There is a mystery, as all they remember is waking on the Borg Ship after being _individuals_ for a brief moment, but no one knows why. +Finally, we learn it was Seven acting in the best interest of the Collective. +She acted against their Unimatrix, but this is not developed enough. +We learn it, everyone is angry at her, but that's all. +What **is** interesting is the stark contrast with last episode: she forgives Doctor for torturing her, they never forgive her. +They are far more developed as individual persons (despite the link), and this is what allowed them to feel hate. + +All in all, another good episode but it lacks something _extra_, to make it great. +And Naomi is always welcome! + +> Survival is insufficient +> +> --- Seven of Nine + + +## Doctor Factor {#doctor-factor} + +Unsatisfactory. |
