Some trivia:

* This episode was originally titled "Resurrection".
* Mickey Cottrell also played Chancellor Alrik in TNG's "The Perfect Mate."

Memorable scenes:

* The scene where Seven is attempting to work with clay is rather good.
* Seven's first meal was quite amusing.
* The scenes between Seven and Tuvok are quite good as the 2 characters seem to have some chemistry.

Some quotes:

"Oral consumption is inefficient."
"And unnecessary if you're lucky enough to be a hologram."
(Seven and the Doctor)

My comments:  I liked this episode. It gave a lot of back story on Seven's past and it offered Jeri Ryan another opportunity to show off her acting talents. The only faults with this episode are the very dull Bomar aliens and the rather big continuity error, as it seems that the Hansens were studying the Borg before they were known to the Federation! Anyway, it's still a good watch.
