Fair. I guess neither the A nor the B plot was strong enough to support a whole episode and that's why they told the story like they did. The mix of A and B plots makes it of course unclear whether the story as told by Neelix happened exactly like that. Thus, asking whether the story makes any sense is pointless. I like the Borg kids though. Real kids.
It's just that I don't like horror stories. I even hate The Simpsons Halloween episodes. But that's perhaps only me.
I think because of the episodic nature of this show the kids are much more bareable than in current dramas. I liked the camp fire horror storytelling aspect. It was a different angle of voyager and it involved the borg kids who I find as intriguing as seven.
Fun little Halloween story but slap a strobe warning on this one for those of us who are photosensitive. The flashing red near the end is particularly brutal.
An energy being wanting to return to its home inside a nebula ? Where have I heard this before ? TNG - Lonely Among Us . This is a bit different but basically the same concept. It wasn't even all that bad but the horror story approach pushed me out fast. And in the end everything was stretched out a bit too long.
When they brought the kids aboard I wondered what they would do with them stroy wise. I hope this is not the level we can expect down the line.
