When the Doctor’s mobile emitter gets a Borg nanoprobe infusion and steals neck DNA from Ensign Mulchaey (just roll with it), the resulting Baby Borg puts Seven’s emotional well-being right back in the crosshairs. Can she impart her emerging humanity onto the most tricked-out drone to ever live? Will Janeway get impatient and toss the kid out the nearest airlock? Is “Drone” GOOD... or is it GARBAGE?

Case 5.2: Drone

Is Star Trek: Voyager good... or is it garbage? Journey forward to the courtroom of the Honorable Judge Midnightien Later as he seeks to discern a final and legally-binding answer to this and other perplexing questions, one Voyager episode at a time. Is Janeway the purest exemplar of the overarching Star Trek ethos, or does she personify the dangers of dogmatic adherence to Starfleet’s institutional code? Is the Voyager a pretty ship? Why does the theme song never speed up? The court’s only hope for finding answers are three voices from the ancient past: The apologist, the hater, and the dude who is watching it all for the first time.
