But the Borg didn't take the Alpha Quadrant - and we didn't miss out on Seven of Nine.Win - win.
If the next TV series is essentially The Walking Dead with the Borg standing in for zombies, you'll be cursing Picard's name.
The Agony Booth, Oh My...

Nah. I think if Picard had decided to destroy the Borg it would have irreversibly destroyed the show. You can't go back from genocide, and there is no way that folks in the 90's would have forgiven that choice.
I was in the 90's, I would've understood choosing survival.
So was I. I tend to think that the Star Trek writers agreed with me. 
My wife's mother, who basically made her life from age 2 to 12 (and much of it thereafter) one long real-life agony booth session.
Thanks for reminding me of something similar...my mother-in-law would get an extended session in the Agony Booth just for being a real pain in the rear end sometimes.
My choice relates to another thread.
Sybok should get the booth.
For obviously being such a intelligent and highly educated Vulcan who was in touch with his feelings and truly just wanted to help others. That he fell for a pathetic lie of a story that God only resides on this one unreachable mythical planet that's supposed to be the well spring of all life in the Galaxy.

Mother-in-law for sure. In one of the novels, the mirror crew didn't use full intensity on Checkov, but instead left him in there on low for a week or so.... He didn't make it. 
I'd have some of that magic Khan blood handy so when the old bat does kick the bucket, fix her up and throw her back in again.

Apart from the British government I'd have to say the creeps and management team I used to have to work with!

You're gonna need a bigger booth...
The agony booth for @Spock's Barber for all of these threads....

What happens if we change it to 'disintegration chamber'?
Oh... Hilary Clinton's fashion adviser.
And Trump's hair stylist.

Chekov was the perfect candidate for the agony booth. He was also the perfect candidate for the Ceti eel. Basically any pain caused to Chekov was a joy to behold. I'd probably throw Neelix and the Pegg version of Scotty in the booth with him. If there's any room left it's reserved for Donald Trump.
The Borg aren't a species in my opinion. They forcibly assimilated entire cultures against their will. If anything they're a bunch of cybernetic rapists. Picard should have wiped them out when he had the chance.
