Star Trek: Every Two-Parter Ranked From WORST To BEST

36. Unimatrix Zero, Unimatrix Zero, Part II

Over the years, Unimatrix Zero has taken more fire than the tactical cube within it. Is it really that bad? No. Is it great? No. Its cliffhanger is also far better than it gets credit. Done and overdone with the Borg, perhaps, but Janeway, Tuvok, and B'Elanna all assimilated? Come on! That was still pretty shocking. Of course, the real cliffhanger was that unrealised rendezvous with Harry.

Unimatrix Zero's greatest strength was also its greatest weakness. The very idea of a resistance movement within the Borg collective unconscious was a good one. Its execution was lacklustre. The romantic relationship at its core failed to convince. Banished to the backends of the Beta Quadrant, Mr Axum was never spoken of again.
