The Borg are basically Trek's Daleks. They're popular, they're constantly defeated but they'll constantly be back. Sometimes it'll be just a few drones wreaking havoc, sometimes en masse, and other times with a desperate, dying leader trying to reclaim their species' glory days.

Personally I'm waiting on the multi-colored Paradigm Borg to make their debut.

The Cybermen are RIGHT THERE :p;)
 
It's Shives and I know he's an acquired taste to put it very mildly, but he has an excellent take on the Prequel appearance of the Borg and why it works in this one case when most of the rest of their appearances get it wrong.

the Borg on enterprise were scary for the first time in a long time. And for the last so far.
 
Found online:

"On top of being a damn good episode, 'Regeneration' actually fills in a few gaps that those same Continuity Nerds conveniently forget (pr actively ignore): Why were the Borg assimilating colonies in the Neutral Zone in TNG's Season 1 finale? They finally got the message from 'Regeneration' and came to poke around. How did the Hansens know so much about the Borg? Maybe they got access to some buried data from Archer's run-in and combined it with stuff from El-Aurian refugees. Why did Q actually launch the Enterprise-D into the path of a Borg cube? He already knew about all this, and wanted to stack the deck a bit in humanity's favor. Maybe. And as to how nobody else in Starfleet knew about any of this? Either Archer's report got lost, or Section 31 buried it somewhere."

Was there any evidence they were? We know colonies on both sides of the zone were going missing. Nothing on screen ever said it was the Borg.

No, but the production team intended for it to the Borg.

we didn’t see them do it, but Guinan said it was their modus operandi.

Also, it would be a huge coincidence if in BobW a colony disappearing in that way and the Borg showing up almost immediately weren’t connected.
 
Lines from the script.

QWho?

WORF: Captain, the sixth planet in the system is Class M.
DATA: There is a system of roads on this planet, which indicates a highly industrialised civilisation. But where there should be cities there are only great rips in the surface.
WORF: It is as though some great force just scooped all the machine elements off the face of the planet.
DATA: It is identical to what happened to the outposts along the Neutral Zone.
WORF: Captain, we are being probed.
RIKER: What is the source of the probe?
WORF: A ship. It is on an intercept course.
 
I’ve been rereading The Return and there’s a Vox in that as well. Another reference to that story perhaps?

I think it's more that "Vox" is a pretty well-known Latin word that also relates to the act of speaking, so it was pretty obvious anyone doing a follow-up to the idea of "Locutus" (Latin for "he who has spoken") would probably end up using "Vox."
 
They definitely should have renamed the Titan, to USS Picard, not yet another Enterprise. The F could have continued.

Did anyone else catch the similarities to Voyage Home, in the warnings to stay away from Earth, by Chekov's apparent kid?

They rebuilt Spacedock pretty damn fast.

How many senior Starfleet officers were killed by the Borg? The Changelings may not have killed their prisoners, but the Borg started executing everyone, Order 66 style.

By the way, they totally pulled a Star Wars, flying into the heart of the Death Star and blowing its reactor after taking out a bunch of guns and turrets on the surface..... they just got the shape wrong. ;) Right down to the Emperor dying in his throne room....

I really wanted the post credits to be Project Phoenix.... but Q was fun, and the last part of the "Seasons 1 and 2 don't matter", which i'm fine with, since I never finished either of them. This one is definitely going to be in rotation.

Nothing surprising by the end, but fun, well done, and emotionally satisfying.

Put me on the Legacy bandwagon, which is saying a lot for someone that disowned TNG at one point. I may not be rewatching the old series any time soon, but for now, I'm back on board.
 
I am glad they made Seven a captain, did not like at all the Micahel Burnham treatment... "she can't obey orders so give her a ship to command". SIGH...

Maybe that IS an alternate path of criteria.... people so talented and so trustworthy, that just can't follow orders - may as well put them in a position where they mostly don't have to, because they are the ones GIVING the orders. Inside top level Star Fleet circles, they've called it the Kirk Effect, ever since the demotion-punishment-reward scenario.
