I think I'm going to go a little conservative with my score and actually give this episode a 6. It was good, and there was some emotional resonance, but looking at the season as a whole, the plotting could have been better. I think if they had actually cleared up the Borg confusion of is this the last of the collective or is Jurati still out there with her Borg and why didn't she deserve a mention at all, and maybe even eliminated Vadic entirely and just did the Borg the entire season, I might have enjoyed it a lot more. I almost feel like after episode 5, the season shifted gears to the Borg and it wasn't entirely a smooth transition. Maybe that's the bad thing about only 10 episodes, but I think they could have plotted out the episodes better.
Now that TNG is behind us (And I think it got a better conclusion than Nemesis), I'm actually excited for Strange New Worlds, Trek Made for Paramount+ movies, Lower Decks/Prodigy, and Strange New Worlds. I think my enthusiasm for Trek is a lot better this year than it was last year.
