This is the inevitable encounter with our old friends, the Borg. Janeway is faced with the hardest decision of her career. In order to get through Borg space, she feels she must ally herself with the collective. To her advantage is the fact that the Borg themselves are facing an enemy that could annihilate them. After all the Next Generation encounters, can our Captain make this work. This is the final episode of Season 3 and is left be determined in Season 4. Most of the crew thinks Janeway is off her rocker for proposing this, but the Borg space is huge and would add years to the journey home.
