- Quotes
Captain Kathryn Janeway: Stardate 51030 - Seven of Nine is severed from the hive mind. The Captain tells her not to resist, and she'll learn to accept her humanity. Seven complies, and slowly begins to embrace her individuality. Does she regret that decision? Stardate 51652 - The Captain encourages Seven to develop her social skills. Seven insists it's a waste of time, but after further requests, she pursues it and begins to develop her first human friendships. Did Janeway lead her astray? Stardate 52840 - The Captain orders Seven to study her parents' journals. Seven claims they're irrelevant, but eventually she reads them, and rediscovers part of her own past. Stardate 52841 - For the first time... Seven tells the Captain 'thank you'.
Seven of Nine: It was stardate 52842 - 0600 hours, in the mess hall. We had just finished breakfast.
Captain Kathryn Janeway: My mistake. Stardate today - Janeway beams aboard the Delta Flyer. She reminds Seven of the bond that's grown between them. Seven lowers the force field, and she decides to come home. All I'm asking... is that you trust me again.
[Seven complies]

Voyager finds some galactic weirdo who is working on some sort of catapult system in order to fly HUGE distances very quickly. While they are assisting, Seven of Nine begins putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 147! She suddenly creates a bunch of insane theories and tells Chakotay that the Captain is working for an evil Federation/Cardassian alliance! Only moments later, however, she's telling the Captain that Chakotay and the Maquis are plotting and tells roughly the same story--but with the Maquis working with the Cardassians! None of these stories make any sense whatsoever and it's obvious that she is experiencing some paranoid delusions.
The delusions isn't the problem with this one. After all, SOMETHING making Seven paranoid is an interesting story idea. What IS the problem is that any of her nutty ramblings pick up traction! How could Chakotay doubt Janeway or vice-versa?! Why not laugh off Seven's theories and confront her about them?! NOT doing this make this an absolutely crazy and stupid episode. Overall, this is a very frustrating episode because the writer didn't respect his characters or the audience. A HUGE disappointment and a show that actually irritated me!
