In amongst all the excitement, and on another subject all together, this episode also introduces Janeway's new holodeck hangout, Leonardo da Vinci's workshop, complete with the great John Rhys Davies playing Leo himself. The simulation fits this accelerated form of assimilation really well.

The Borg's methods of assimilation developed a bit over the years, largely because the movie First Contact needed something fast-acting and exciting to watch (whereas the first time we saw assimilation, in 'The Best of Both Worlds', it was implied to be a longer and slower process and not even necessarily a frequent one). I also love the Doctor's simulation of Borg nanoprobes taking over blood cells like a virus. Janeway contemplating a deal with the Devil with a large cross on the wall behind her is beautifully shot.

The episode is also well made, and as the season finale, it's had a lot of the budget thrown at it. He's also more willing to embrace the possibility of not getting home, or to keep looking for alternative routes, as he has been before. He believes in fighting forces perceived to be 'evil' вЂ“ as we're reminded the Borg are early on вЂ“ no matter the cost. Chakotay left Starfleet to become a freedom fighter/terrorist (delete as applicable depending which side you're on). She'll go for the most plausible or tactically sound alliance, whomever it's with. Janeway is a quintessential Starfleet officer, looking to negotiate and to make alliances. Their conflict is rooted in their backgrounds and personalities. But just when my little shipper heart is about to explode out of my body in a shower of pink sparks, they find themselves in conflict. Early on, they're joking with each other, having dinner together, and Chakotay reassures Janeway that she's not alone (the quote at the top of the page) while she replies that she can't imagine a day without him. One of the key things that makes this episode work so well is that it's built on not just the huge, scary threat of the Borg and Species 8472, but on Janeway and Chakotay's relationship as well. And then Species 8472 are introduced, and Kes' psychic abilities are very effectively used to establish just how scared we should be of them as she communicates their ruthlessness and desire to wipe out pretty much everyone. The Borg are terrifying from the moment they appear, largely thanks to what we know of them from TNG, though Voyager has shown how big a threat they are in a couple of earlier episodes as well. If the success of action drama rests on the quality of its villains вЂ“ which, honestly, the MCU pretty much proves it doesn't, but still вЂ“ then it's no wonder this is such a strong episode. I think this is a show where every fan gets something slightly different out of it, which is no bad thing.) (Incidentally, Voyager Top 10s can be quite different from site to site, and two episodes I really dislike вЂ“ 'Distant Origin' and a season four episode we haven't got to yet вЂ“ regularly appear on them. It's a great episode, a brilliant season-ending cliffhanger, with plenty of action and excitement and some lovely character work as well. This excellent two-parter quite often appears on Top 10 and Top 15 Episodes lists for Voyager вЂ“ though, er, not the one I wrote! I do like it a lot and I totally understand why others put it in their Top 10s.

Here is a list of all the Easter eggs included in the Season 2 episode 'I, Excretus.'If that moment comes, we'll face it together.

This premise gives the episode the chance to revisit several bizarre and fan-favorite moments from across the franchise - and it is certainly not wasted by the sheer number of references to past series and movies. Cerritos' crew, the officers are subjected to series of holographic trials recreating key moments in Star Trek history in order for each of the crew to have their competencies evaluated. After an embarrassing oversight nearly resulted in grave consequences for the U.S.S. While Star Trek: Lower Decks has always provided audiences with overt nods and allusions to the entire Star Trek mythos, the Season 2 episode, ' I, Excretus,' goes even further in its magical mystery tour of the Star Trek franchise's history. WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 2, Episode 8, 'I, Excretus,' streaming now on Paramount+.
