Star Trek: Voyager: Season 5

5x02 Drone

Great episode with less action than you might expect initially. It's about a Borg drone exploring individuality. This also sheds some light on Seven's ongoing struggle with adapting to her new-found individuality and her separation from her Borg family aka the collective. It's witty and philosophical. Seven proves again why she has single-handedly saved this show. And it's about motherhood, I guess? Only the Doctor briefly mentions this Interpret about his "inception" but there's definitely some motherly feelings towards him.

It's basically the Voyager version of TNG's I, Borg which perhaps makes this episode not to be perceived as very innovative. It's not the first time the show explores the idea of individuality vs. the collective. Think about the mini-collective stranded in Unity and think about Seven's ongoing pursuit to become a valuable member of the society.
