I've watched almost every episode of every spin-off related to Star Trek over the years, growing up with the original series. I'm a fan, and I understand this sentimental journey reuniting old friends with new characters should be satisfying, and bring tears to my eye.
I'm also a fan of the Borg, the ultimate nemesis for the federation, although this season the shape changers have come pretty close to usurping them.
Yet I found myself pressing fast forward on the dialogue scenes, the resolution to each conflict situation was dumbed down to a sentimental resolution (the plot writers didn't have to strain themselves), and the episode rolled on like a cruise-ship carrying geriatric celebrities from one superfluous dialogue to another.
Highlights this season for me were Seven of 9 (always fantastic), Jack Crusher (bringing fresh energy to the franchise), Vadic (the theatrical commander of the. Shrike).
From the old crew, Worf will be remembered most fondly.. deeply in fact, followed by Data.
