Well, we're at Scorpion part two

conulyE decided to go to bed and watch the second half tomorrow.
It's actually... not the most interesting two-parter if you know what's going to happen. I mean, it was riveting the first time around, but now?
Still, we're finally getting Seven and ditching Kes, and I know lots of people like Kes but I have never really been one of them. I mean, she's fine. She's okay, she's fine. Just... well, I prefer pretty much every other regular to her!
Also: Jeri Ryan is an amazing actor, Seven is an amazing character, and they both deserve better than to be dressed as the embodiment of the Doctor's male gaze. Ew. She ought to have been in a uniform.
Also also: Voyager is stuck between the Borg and this unknown enemy that rips apart Borg ships like candy and may want to destroy all life in our universe (I mean, if I thought all life in the universe was the Borg I'd seriously consider it too), and the only alternative to Scylla and Charybdis here is to turn around, tail between their legs, and settle down in some Delta Quadrant society - but it's nice to know that Janeway still has time to pal around with Da Vinci. She doesn't eat, she doesn't sleep, but she visits the holodeck? Priorities! Learn about them!
