I have mixed feelings about this episode. There is a great story here with depth and a philosophical angle. It would have been great to keep One around for a couple of episodes to go a bit deeper especially what his presence would have meant for Seven. But in a nutshell it's just another attempt of showing a Borg dealing with individuality. And I just can't look past the fact that the whole problem stems yet again from Janeway's thick headedness and her refusal to heed Seven's warnings. And this after we saw her pondering with past decisions in the last episode. I am not a fan of "the end justifies the means" and her waying risk vs reward is always unpredictable. I really wonder why she was written that way so many times.
