Happy to offer a review. I may have seen the episode some time in the dim and distant past, but certainly haven't recently. Josh Milburn (talk) 14:57, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • An explanation of what a Borg cube is ("a large Borg spacecraft" or something) in the lead would be helpful.
  • I don't know how you feel about this, but perhaps the actors could be named in the plot section?
  • "he sees that they all the others have been Borg implants" Grammatically odd, and all what others?
  • I'm not clear on why destroying the cube helps Voyager, and it's also unclear to me what Chakotay is questioning at the end of the episode. Could these bits be clarified?
  • "and to the audience in general" Can something be a moral dilemma to someone?
  • Who is Kate Mulgrew?
  • "as the direction had some specific ideas for the scene but Mulgrew suggested something more fluid" I'm not clear what this means
  • "The montage scene in the episode" What montage scene?
  • "It used clips from a number of previous Star Trek episodes including "Q Who" from The Next Generation, "Caretaker" from Voyager, as well as "Emissary" and "The Way of the Warrior" from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.[8]" Could this be rephrased to be a little smoother?
  • "which McNeill described as "the scarier Borg"" Scarier than what?
  • The cooperative is referred to in several ways- cooperative, Cooperative, Co-operative, etc. Consistency would be good!
  • "Instead, they returned in the "Delta Rising" expansion" Instead of what?
  • The second paragraph of "Later influence" is pretty difficult to follow, and should probably be restructured.
  • "another alien race had defeated them an" Who? The ex-Borg?
  • Edited to say the Borg.
  • "Jamahl Epsicokhan on his website Jammers Reviews" calls "Unity", "a standout [Voyager] episode." Unclear. Also, what makes this a reliable source?
  • I've removed the standout bit of the quote. I tend to use Jammer's Reviews as a reliable source as at the time of Voyager's broadcast, his thoughts towards the episodes were considered so important to the show that he was flown out to LA to pitch stories. None of them got picked up, but it marked him as different to the majority of reviewers. Miyagawa (talk) 17:32, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Dreamwatch magazine gave the" Personification
  • "While it praised the nature of the episode, saying the plot was "very clever", but also added that there was an ambiguity towards the end of the episode about whether or not Chakotay agrees with what he is doing." Unclear
  • "the website DVD Talk" Is this a reliable source?
  • Your Jankiewicz link doesn't need an accessdate- it's a courtesy link.
  • The sources generally look appropriate- I'm not going to quibble any further than I already have for GAC.
  • Do you really need all those navboxes?

Images look fine. An enjoyable and interesting read- I've no doubt that this will be ready for promotion shortly. I've done a moderate amount of copyediting, including changing the meaning slightly in at least one case. Please double-check my edits. Josh Milburn (talk) 15:53, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a couple more tweaks, and I'm now happy that this is ready for promotion. That was painless! Great little article. Josh Milburn (talk) 18:05, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
My 300th review- a worthy article! Josh Milburn (talk) 18:12, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
