Some of it definitely ended up being actor availability. Some of it was the writing even with that in mind. Really should have had Seven with Picard during the scenes with the Borg Queen, would have even taken Data to see how this new version of him, now fleshy (which the First Contact Queen gave him to try to turn him) would respond.
Honestly would have preferred to have no Borg involvement at all and have some other villain - or even just Vadic herself - be the main antagonist. The scope of the Collective always seems to elude certain writers….but I’m glad we’re done with them.
