    EPISODE DISCUSSION

    Scorpion
    Original Air Date: 21 May 1997
    Series: Voyager
    Episode: 3x26

    scorpion1117
    scorpion2341


    SUMMARY

    Part I: Upon entering Borg space, Voyager encounters an alien race even more powerful than the Borg and bent on destroying all life in the galaxy, leading Captain Janeway to enter into an alliance with the Borg in order to defeat them.
    Part II: Captain Janeway forges a shaky alliance with the Borg Collective to defeat Species 8472, leading to a new potential crewmember coming aboard.

    ""What if I made an appeal... to the Devil?"" - Janeway, to the Leonardo hologram as she considers an alliance with the Borg

    ""What's the matter? Our galaxy wasn't big enough for you? You had to conquer new territory?"" - Chakotay, to Seven of Nine[/CENTER]

    DISCUSSION

    What do you think of "Scorpion"? Did you agree with Janeway to form an alliance with the Borg? Did this episode start the nerf of the Borg? What was your first reaction when you saw Species 8472 for the first time. What did you thought about the introduction of Seven of Nine? Did you agree with Chakotay to end the alliance with the Borg?

    In my opinion They needed to bring some life into the show and it also happened in DS9 when they brought Worf and it reinvigorated the show just like here with Seven. I liked the idea that there "Is always a Bigger Fish out there" and that the Borg were not carrying the biggest stick.

    I remember watching this episode and nearly falling off my chair when the massive fleet of Borg ships flew past Voyager. You could alsmost see the moment when everyone on the bridge needed to change their pants. The episode had great flow and suspense, and kept you on the edge of your seat the whole time.

    Poor Harry, his first encounter with species 8472 did not go so well..

    I have loved the Borg since we first saw them in "Q Who", infact I bought the LTS from STO in beta when they said you would be able to play as a Borg. So when Janeway started an alliance, it was Go Time for me! I was yelling for someone to toss Chakotay out an airlock and quit spoiling the fun.

    I wasn't the biggest fan of 7, or her ridiculous outfit. Not too mention, they had to space Kess just so they could afford to bring 7 aboard.

    If it wasn't for Scorpion, we wouldn't have Seven of Nine, so it's got to be one of my favourites! It was also a pretty good two part episode as well, an alliance with the Borg, an odd thing indeed. I don't remember any two parters I didn't like in Voyager.

    I was into all of it, from Leonardo da Vinci program to the nanoprobes. Reminded me of freeing Hue and Locutus.
