Always great to see the TNG borg episodes…Incredibly how scarier they were before voyager while being much less scary looking.
The only time the Borg have truly been scary since FC was in "Regeneration(ENT)."
true, that was a surprisingly good episode
The 29th century borg was created from someone else’s DN9
The Enterprise MSD in the Rutherford simulation appears to be based off the Phase 2 Connie design not the refit. The nacelle shape and pylons give it away

I always assumed the baby was grown on that cube, i.e. it wasn't assimilated.
The maximum efficiency you mentioned...would seem to suggest that the Borg do both of those things. They grow "native" drones when possible, and assimilate others when not.
In my headcanon, Hugh is one such native Borg. You'll notice that when he's severed from the collective (in "I Borg"), he doesn't have an original personality to go back to? Well there's your answer.
I'm loving the angst the orgy scene is causing on Twitter. I'm not sure the people complaining know anything about Gene Roddenberry. Or Star Trek.
Every time I see Jennifer I keep wanting them to work the number 8675309 into the show. 
And I love how her last name (sh'Reyan) conforms to the novelverse's Andorian naming conventions. So it looks like Jenny is a shen...

"IT'S NAKED TIME!!!!!" 
"Cartoon wangs may appear behind black rectangles."
I also loved that we, the audience, knew how bad the situation was before the characters did. This was as close as Trek ever got, IMO, to an 80s slasher film. We knew way more than the characters did and were screaming at the screen for them not to do something because we knew where it would lead.

I find it exhausting. I'd just like to be able to follow Trek on social media without it being flooded with hate from "true fans".
9/10
I loved the callbacks and the little portable holobooths they used. First time in weeks that I have genuinely laughed at LD. It was a fantastic little episode. So cool to have Alice Krieg back as well, and the official BOBW music.
Honestly, if every episode was just these kinds of mini holobooth evaluations, I’d be happy.
Damn, this is an uneven series though.

One small bit of good news is that hardcore 'true' fans are split on Lower Decks. When it came out, the usual merchants of controversy were like, "It is another betrayal of our childhoods!" only to get serious pushback. Mostly because even if the DISCO and Picard haters aren't people I agree with, most of them took LD as harmless fun.
