Just rewatched Dark Frontier wow

Was it in Dark Frontier where Seven is shown her assimilated father? That is a moment that stands out in the series for me in regards to Seven's character arc.

Yes it is. Two unanswered questions from the episode is 1) Where is Seven's mother? 2) Did Voyager kill Seven's father? When we last seem him he's standing next to the Queen. The Queen's ship then pursues the Delta Flyer and Voyager ends up destroying the Queen's ship before it exits trans warp.
 
I strongly dislike Dark Frontier, to me it's the episode where they nerfed the Borg.

It doesn't make sense to me that the Borg Queen would want Seven back as an individual and I find her a much weaker, less interesting villain than the Borg as a whole. Like they turned these cool overpowered techno-zombie juggernauts into a standard hackneyed scifi villain.
 
I liked the episodes, but I always thought it would be more efficient if when drones first injected the nanopeobes, that some sort of sedative would be administered along with it to make the assimilatees more docile and more compliant with the second stage of the process, making it quicker and more efficient. Certainly, the group of people in the assimilation chamber seemed docile and sedated when Seven of Nine came to help them, they seemed to need a bit of urging to go along with her idea. Similarly, in First Contact, the Enterprise E crew members being led away by drones after being injected seemed pretty docile too. So, the screaming seems a bit over the top, as I'd think they'd get the tubule treatment before being taken aboard the cube and being herded to assimilation chambers.

I also don't see why they didn't try to save Seven's father, as he was right there and she could have grabbed on to him when they transported out.
 
Although discussed throughout the fandom and Trek publications for a number of years, it wasn't until First Contact that it was firmly established on screen that the Borg's native territory is the Delta Quadrant through Dr. Crusher's line of: "but in the 21st century the Borg are still in the Delta Quadrant."
According to a computer graphic, the planet Lore and the disconnected Borg drones loyal to him have set up as their base in Descent is in the Delta Quadrant.
