Review of Drone

Star Trek: Voyager: Drone (1998)
Season 5, Episode 2
8/10
Strong Borg and Seven of Nine episode
6 August 2023
A transporter accident leads to the creation of a Borg drone.

The plot is familiar to the TNG episode 'Offspring', but I think in someways it is slightly better. I like the sci-fi concept that gives birth to the title character and the fairly subtle way the emotions are conveyed through Seven.

I think the involvement of the Borg gives it an extra edge of threat and allows it to build towards a very strong finish.

Jeri Ryan and Robert Picardo get lots of opportunities to shine due to the prominence of their characters in the story. For me they are the most successful character pairing in Voyager.

As ever with Borg episodes the visuals are very good. I particularly like the drone perspective moments.
