I just wonder why they had the green color to begin with with the Voyager episodes when it was not used for TNG's Borg escapades. I suppose the green color may have started with FC I don't know, have to go back and check that movie out to see.
Dark Frontier TV-Movie: Thoughts and First-Time Recollections
- Thread starter CaptainMatt
- Start date
I think the green was a huge improvement.
It's taken me 10 years to acquire all of Trek on DVD (ENT was 189.00 a season when it first came out here!!) I am not in a hurry to start collecting remastered and blu-ray stuff. I'll probably end up with it just as the next new clean up of old shows starts becoming available.
I think DS9 needs a remaster before VOY, that has a markedly 90's look to it at times. The TOS remasters are well done but I'm not getting rid of my un-remastered TOS videos and I would like to get un-remastered TOS dvd's someday to go with my remastered ones. I like the additional elements such as the TAS inspired shots of Vulcan but the changed elements continually grate on me. Result of having seen the originals too many times I guess and also never being one to care about special effects.

I remember that here in Eastern Ontario CHRO actually aired this movie as part of Season 6, so when I got the Seaon 6 DVD (which I picked up before 5) I was surprised that it was not on there. But I think CHRO probably held it back for the November 1999 sweeps, since I remember that they aired it against one of the other area stations broadcast of "Home Alone". And I remember that the following Monday all he male teachers and students of both sexes were talking about it at school in between classes.
But I don't find "Dark Frontier" to be the best Voyager two-hour episode or Borg episode. For two-hour that would belong to "Future's End".

Which one is Future's End? And I agree with teacake. The costs of the boxed season sets are outrageous! Fans are not made of money, especially with the threat of continued recession looming over our heads.
They are not outrageous any more which is why I now have them all.
Whenever we used to get into a debate over what movie to watch we would inevitably end up watching Future's End. I think all of VOY's double eps are great and that one is quite the romp.

This is true JB. Much as I love DS9 I've never said, "hey I'll make some popcorn and lets watch the Dominion war!"
ENT also had some great double and triple eps though they are more serialized than VOY's.

I find Voyager easier to watch than Ds9 as far as personal story arcs go. Does anyone know anyting about "The Raven" episode and what role if any the Borg played in it? DF mentions it as the name of Annika's parents' ship.
Just watch it CaptainMatt it is a GREAT episode!! You do NOT want to hear about it before you watch it!
"The Raven" is a very good episode, one of Season 4's best. Now, "Author, Author" by contrast, is one of Season 7's worst.
The green color, scratch that, lighting. Actually, the lighting seems to wildly vary. Sometimes its green, sometimes its yellow-green, sometimes it's yellow. Offhand can't remember which episodes had which color. I think it was done to make the Borg look more sickly, to play off of the makeup... and to look exotic, otherworldly. Green light is said to be the most sickly looking light, yellow can make one look sallow.
Voyager probably got it from First Contact. In fact, the reason why the Borg were written into Voyager (besides the fact the producers knew they needed to encounter the Borg at some point in the series) was they had all these leftover costumes from the production of First Contact.

I think Author Author is hilarious and also contains a very poignant moment as referenced below.
Thanksfor the explanation. I can well see the logic of reusing already available costumes, but in-universe, was it already known it was the Delta Quadrant where the Enterprise-D met the Borg cube in Q Who?

i don't think they ever said Delta quadrant in that episode of TNG but said its beyond federation space.
So when did the Delta Quadrant become home of the Borg, as another poster said "the producers knew they needed to encounter the Borg at some point in the series?" Why did they think that unless some previous decision had made the Quadrant the same one the Voyager was stranded in?
IIRC the BORG were said to be in the DQ during their first TNG ep.
Thanks Janeway Rulz! Your input is highly appreciated!
We should present the problem within a more logical format. Did the queen have pubes? Any and all confrontations with the queen implies that she had a stimulating outlook that included sex. I'm sure the Borg would agree. They were sympathetic with the placing of sensitive artificial organs in her that are pubescent. It is evident the sexual organs are important to the Borg and their drones are free from tubes and machines in that area of the physique.
Why is this so? For greater efficiency would be Sevens reply. I am confident Seven of Nine became even more sexual as she advanced in rank.
Do you think they actually pee? I always assumed they had some catheter system.
Chronologically, the first mention of the Delta Quadrant comes in Regeneration.
Production order, the first mention comes in The Price.
The Borg and the Delta Quadrant are never mentioned together in Next Gen on television, but are mentioned together in Star Trek: First Contact.
