The best moment in the episode "Collective" is when the teaser shows the crew goofing off. Then all of a sudden they see a huge Borg cube in the viewscreen and start panicing and scrambling to battle stations in a frenzy.
After seeing this happen and being extremely entertained for that brief moment, I thought, "Great, this must be an outstanding episode coming up after the commercials!"
However, soon after that, I ended up being vastly disappointed.
Rather than maintain the momentum they established with the awesome teaser scene, they let it fizzle away into nothingness, and the rest of the episode consists of nothing but the Voyager crew outsmarting a bunch of wimpy "Borg children".
I felt very misled by the teaser, and kind of ripped off that the episode did not live up the grandeur and keep the tension that the teaser implied. I think they should have been way more careful with this particular teaser. This is the only example of a teaser in any Trek show that I feel misled and cheated by. They should have toned down the quality of the teaser in order to make it consistent with the wimpy context of the entire rest of the episode, so as not to give false hopes to the viewer like it ended up doing to me.
Anyone else felt this way when they first watched this episode?
