Loved it! Please my friends choose to live!
I was holding my breath near the end, I have not done so for a TV episode for a looooong time.
I hope Elron is still alive amd I am so glad there is no twist that made Hugh a bad guy
I really would love to see Geordie and Hugh team up again. I know it probably wont happen, though.

If you like Hugh don't go near the Episode 1x07 chapter thread. :angel:

We saw Hugh again, and I particularly liked that he met up with Picard to catch up on the goss. Intriguing bit of information about the Borg Queen being a Romulan, making me instantly think we'll see her at some point.

They never said the Borg Queen was a Romulan. They said in effect, they went from one (Borg) Queen (the Borg Queen) to serving another master, the Romulans (whether that means the Romulans are ruled by a queen or not is irrelevant). And I don't mean "master" in the "master/slave" sense.
 
I had difficulty with Picard's enormous PTSD in the show after no sign of it for decades but his Irumodic Syndrome may be exaggerating whatever symptoms he had suppressed with 24th century medicine.
-Nerdiest statement I've made in years.

Every other time he faced the Borg in between he had the Enterprise and crew backing him up, and he still showed many signs of PTSD.

Plus these days he's feeling much more vulnerable.
 
I think the whole "Picard had no sign of PTSD" argument is stupid.

We know that the Ron Moore had to fight like hell to even get Family made after Best of Both Worlds. Berman and the studio were still stuck in the model at that time that you couldn't have character continuity across episodes. They wanted it to be "back to normal" immediately post-Locutus so it wouldn't confuse viewers.

We saw Picard's trauma in First Contact. Between then and Picard, we only got to see him in Insurrection and Nemesis.
 
We don't really know where anyone on the ship sleeps other than Raffi yet, do we?

Picard has that holo-den, but it doesn't have a bed in it.
If it did have a holo bed would he be able to sleep in it, after all the desk and chair are usable and both holograms.

Is the pillow real or is that a hologram as well.
 
I was thinking the same thing. It must have some serious limitations for this not to be the case. It needed to load up for a while, perhaps it can only transport couple of people and then needs to recharge for a long time, so that it is not practical for mass invasions? Though it is not that 'why the Borg have not won already' is a new problem. As good film as FC was, if the Borg used the time travel logically they would have won a long time ago; in fact they would have won exactly whenever they wanted.

Head canon: The time travel tech is unreliable and has to be right by a stellar object. And stay by a stellar object.

So its really only good for what we saw. Going back in time and assimilating it. And of course doing so could mess up their entire timeline.

ORRRRRRR the ENTIRE point of First Contact was to close a predestination loop, Remember in ENT, its implied the drones alert the Borg to Earths presence, hence the last ep of TNG S1
