Jen, I urge you to be patient with D.S.9. The first season is outright lackluster, but it will improve into the second season. By the end of the third season, you will be hooked. 😁

[@-Heavy-]

Glad to hear you choose DS9 before Voyager! DS9 has some much more inpack on the whole Star Trek universe and far better characters! I actually can't stand most of the crewmembers from Voyager!

[@KentBalzer]

Thank you for this reaction. It literally brought tears to my eyes. There is so much more to our humanity than what we realize.

[@GeorgiusAgricola-pn4cr]

DS9 begins! Time to get my unopened complete boxed set off the shelf; it's been waiting there for five years. I sporadically watched episodes of DS9 over the years and liked how the series ended, so I decided to get the complete series (7 seasons, 47 DVDs) to take in what is considered the most expansive Trek vision of a 'city' in space. I just had to wait for someone to watch it with! ;-) A recurring character is played by the actor who portrayed the killer in 'Dirty Harry.' While you wouldn't recognize him under layers of alien make-up, his voice 'shines' through. I remember when Dirty Harry came out, I read in the Hollywood trades that this actor had trouble getting non-psychopathic killer roles because he had done such a convincing job in Dirty Harry! He also played a brief but for me memorable role in 'N.Y.P.D.' a very underrated 30-min TV police drama that ran for a couple seasons in the mid-1960s. He played a criminal who steals a detective's 'shield' (badge) during a robbery, and starts using it to cause trouble in NYC. At the end of the episode when the shield is retrieved, he snarkily comments that the shield number stinks, and that it wouldn't even get you on the subway. What a great line! Jen would also like the episode 'Fast Gun' in which another detective decides to approach a cop-killer one on one, and as he approaches he has a deep inner monologue, the kind Jen likes! This same actor, Robert Hooks, later played guest roles in some shows I really liked. In 'WKRP in Cincinnati' he played a prosecutor bringing a case for theft against the DJ Venus Flytrap (Time Reid), and in Seinfeld, he plays the Dad George seeks out to watch Breakfast at Tiffany's with. Okay, enough reminiscing. Let me unwrap DS9!

[@toyota420xp]

Oh yeah we need to study the Borg programming in computers let's use Jordie when we have a supercomputer mind called data anytime they trying to figure something else out why don't they just use data

Johnathon Del Arco really knocked it outa the park with his performance here!

[@kingleech16]

He was also a really good coroner on Major Crimes.

[@robertburr2652]

Jen: It would be different if he were like, "I don't want to be a Borg, help me." Twenty minutes later....

[@alicestevens8291]

Commit this to memory. This episode will define the series and even the spinoffs well past it's closure.

[@angelohernandez6060]

Yep, great episode and will have alot of relevance in the future of the franchise.

[@Stalazon]

Well, the spinoffs seemed to have fumbled this definition. IMO.

[@jcortese3300]

The second Hugh and Geordie bonded, that was when I decided Hugh was okay. It's so perfect that nerdy Geordie's two best friends are an android and a Borg. 🙂

[@georgeheilman4243]

Picard's climactic interaction and acceptance of Hugh as an individual never fails to move me. Certainly one of my favorite episodes of the season.

When the Galifrey Gals watched this episode, I saw _tears_ from Katrina during that scene. 😊

[@ammaleslie509]

One of my favorite episodes, period.

[@robertritchie8829]

I like that they carried Picard's anger and resentment of the Borg through and didn't reset his character after the episode Family. Patrick Stewart plays it so well. Enjoyed your thoughts in your end log!

[@SSPerfectChaosRCT]

They do this a few times. And then there's First Contact.

[@geneinkc]

The best thing that this episode did was to remind us that all Borg were once ordinary people, whose feelings and fears have been suppressed by assimilation into the Borg collective. We didn’t think twice about the reversal of Picard’s assimilation, but Hugh shows us that there is hope for all individual Borg.

[@cleekmaker00]

In the end, they're all... Victims. Like Hugh's Species and Picard, they were all victimized by the Queen and her Drones, turned into joining the Collective against their will.

[@hdguy350]

Not all of them. We saw in an episode that there were Borg nurseries. We never found out what percentage of the Borg were assimilated and what percentage were born into it.

[@brandonparisien2381]

[@StefanLoferer]

This episode really stuck with me back then and made the Borg even more fascinating. As a viewer I struggled with my feelings about Hugh just like Picard and Guinan. Awesome reaction and very good outro, Jen❤

[@3Rayfire]

Hugh is just...an incredible character and Jonathan Del Arco just breathed life into him. Nobody would've ever believed that a cyber zombie could be adorable and make you want to hug and protect him.

[@BouillaBased]

This series really knows how to explore issues of ethics, and how prejudice can color ethical decisions.

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

In fact, TNG does a Supreme job of that! Five out of five stars! I consider TNG to be the best Science Fiction tv series of all time... Except for season one. 🤮

[@gawainethefirst]

But also how past experiences can shape prejudices.

[@Choalith_Ikanthe]

When people say "Star Trek was always political", they often fail to realize... *this* is actually how. This is what it was. Not preaching, not righteous, not propaganda; An earnest, intellectually open and honest, compassionate, and thorough consideration of the questions that define us, as individuals and as civilizations. Nuance, Feeling, Deduction, and Debate decorate the halls of Star Trek like shining tinsel. Even a dire enemy was someone you respected, felt for, and could endeavor to save. This is the Better Future that Star Trek envisioned for us, a future not where we are smarter, or morally superior... but one where we are wiser.

[@ammaleslie509]

@@Choalith_Ikanthe excellent comment, and very true.

[@davidkistler6749]

15:47 "They've humanized the Borg to me now in a way that's so unexpected..." One of the marks of a good Star Trek episode is that it poses and examines dilemmas that have no clear answers and leave us wondering, long after the episode ends, what the right thing to do would have been and what we would have done if we were there. The best are the ones that make us break down our previous assumptions and stereotypes, forcing us to see what we thought were monsters as people or what we thought were necessary evils as potentially optional, voluntary, and avoidable evils. That leads us to question not only the morality of which choice to make but also the morality of how we frame those choices. This is one of the best Start Trek episodes.

[@distracted-dad]

i love how, instead of going to see the borg in the brig, which would have been safer, Picard has the borg brought to him. It's the sort of "power move" that's designed to hide personal insecurity.

[@MrTbk1701]

When this episode came out at the beginning I was so pissed at Beverly, by the end…..my feelings so changed. It’s such a great episode and shows why Star Trek is such a great show. One of my favorites for sure 🖖

[@kingofjacks]

This is my all time favorite Star Trek episode. To me it embodies what Star Trek is all about and I love seeing Hugh’s growth.

[@MatthewWhite-r3k]

My headcanon is that the movie First Contact takes place in a dark alternate reality where this episode never happened.

[@AddSerious]

@@MatthewWhite-r3k isn't required, we learn (Jen don't read this) that the borg shut down communications with Hue's ship once the problem was detected. So all other Borg ships were un infected.

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

I understand why. Star Trek episodes that are not just good, but actually Great contain some plot element where the antagonists or the protagonists learn about the others and what it is like to be them. That is what happened with Hue in this one. Too bad that as a matter of policy the Borg would have destroyed his memories and individual, irrelevant ideas. We can be sure that is what happened to Hue, since it is also what happened to newly assimilated individuals on which the Borg prey. ..... Say, why didn't Hue revert to being the person he had been before he was assimilated? 🤔

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

SPOILER ALERT. @MattWhite I don't think the two stories neccesarily conflict. I see it as entirely probable that the greater Borg Collective could have just broken off the branch where Hue began to spread his testimony of his experience. Remember the Borg already had experience with humans using their uncompromising interconnectedness against them. 🤔

[@ManuelRomero-h7b]

I thought that Hugh looking at Geordie the last time was him still being Hugh. Remember, "the Borng do not assimilate individuals" and also remember that Hugh said "I will not" he said "I" not we.

They don't assimilate individuals, except for Picard.

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

Great episode with deep allegory. The worst part of history is that people often freely choose oppression, because they sense freedom as a terrifying vacuum rather than a sea of wonder. Hugh's initial fear and loneliness reflects that.

[@tomyoung9049]

Such a unique look at the Borg. Really like this one

[@scottallen6160]

This is one of my favorite episodes of this series. To challenge the notion of primal prejudice and broadly labeling a group or species that hurt us by the revelation that individuals can stand out from a group or species. It then challenges our depths of humanity for forgiveness by finding one to forgive within the group to begin the growth of wisdom and healing. It also grants us hope that we can also be forgiven. After all, none of us are without having committed a wrong against someone. Love ya Jen! 🖖😉💕

[@therealhotdog]

part two will be coming up to continue this story with a wild twist

[@davidmarsden192]

This episode basically dealt with whether or not the "good guys" would commit genocide of their enemies if they had the opportunity. (This exact same type of episode was also in Battlestar Galactica (recent remake) and The Orville). In all three cases, the "good guys" chose NOT to destroy their enemy (commit genocide) in favour of taking the moral high road - and in each series it worked out for the better. 🙂

[@johnmavroudis2054]

It makes sense that Ronald D. Moore was a show runner on this show AND Battlestar Galactica. Some common threads.

[@0lyge0]

What they did with Guinan here was brilliant. It would have been so easy to make a fan favorite like her the one to be on Hugh's side from the beginning but what they did was true to her character and so much more powerful as she has to overcome her prejudice and see Hugh as more than a faceless enemy who was part of a group that hurt her and her people.

[@Tiffinki]

Jen, you told yourself to chill. No; you should get as excited as you want or switch to being as calm as a Vulcan strictly at your whim, even when recording.

"Don't leave just one inept guard there." The phrase "one inept guard" reminds me of Austin Powers. I assume Worf has seen those movies, so he didn't make that mistake.

[@theendistheend123]

On the question whether they should have sent Hue back the way they did, I agree with you. I waffle about whether it was right or not. The Borg are very dangerous and a huge threat, but I lean towards what they did because it's very "star trek." Star Trek is about exploring, running into species that are different, and not judging that difference but trying to understand it. They didn't attack the Borg by sending Hue back, but they did offer an "alternative" to their way of life.

[@vermithax]

"This episode is called I Borg and I could not be more excited. This-is-going-to-be-a-Borg-encounter-there-has-to-be-why-would-they-call-it-that-if-it's-not? Alright. Chill girl." No chill required. Another killer episode on the back half of the 5th season.

[@cesarvidelac]

I wish you continue this journey, further development about this particular episode go on in "Voyager" and "Picard".

Picard had such strong feelings about what was right, and gradually, reluctantly, he allowed his opinion to change with evidence, even when it went against everything his baser instincts screamed at him. That's a timely lesson.
