<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That was pretty much my reaction as well when I heard they were doing that. What they did was never mention the borg by name, like the Enterprise episode with the Ferengi if you saw that one. We the viewers know who they were, but the people in the episode don't.

What it's supposed to be is the Borg Sphere that went back in time in the Star Trek First Contact movie didn't actually disintigrate in space like we thought, but part of it stayed together long enough to crash land at one of the polar regions. There buried in the ice it laid dormant until discovered by scientists during the time on earth when Archer's Enterprise was making it's voyage.

One of the scientists get's assimilated and takes off in a warp capable ship and leaves earth. Presumably to return to the Delta quadrant and tell the current Borg to come and assimilate the pre-federation earth, although we don't really know that. Archer is ordered to intercept the ship and...ah, I'll leave it at that so you still have some suprise if you happen to catch it in reruns. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Thanks for the info on that episode. I'll try to catch the rerun, but even though they show the repeats in Tampa on Saturday nights at 10:00, it's still hard for me to catch them then.

Re: Favorite Star Trek episode
 

My fav episode is "The Sacrifice of Angels" from DS9. This is only because of the massive battle between the Federation/Kilngon and Cardassian/Dominion fleet though.... I always enjoy watching two galaxy-class cruisers destroy a galor-class cruiser http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Favorite Star Trek episode
 

I still like the fleet battles in Babylon 5 and its movies better myself, but those battles in DS9 were certainly good. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Ya could you imagine how lame those battles would have been had they all been done with models.

The Last Star Fighter really set the standard into motion and man how it has come from that to what we whave now. I really wanna work in this industry, 3d graphics, but all the I have read about the industry says that it is a cutthroat, backstabbing, politically angled, every weasle for himself industry. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Why can't we all just do what we want to do for a living without all of the office/high school/childish brat, cry baby, yuppy, ultra liberal BS?

Why?

Re: Favorite Star Trek episode
 

Erm... don't be so quick to label that stuff as "ultra-liberal"... it does not go anywhere on the (limited and useless) political scale.
