Star Trek TNG: Episode 75 - The Best of Both Worlds

Season three certainly ends with a bang. Or shall I say with a Borg. That joke didn't work at all. This two part episode has to be one of the greatest in Star Trek history. It basically starts with the Enterprise finding a decimated outpost, Picard realizes that only group can achieve this type destruction....the white man. They soon encounter the Borg rubix cube.

At first they manage to evade the Borg but soon they are overtaken by the Borg and trapped in a tractor beam, also by the Borg.  For some reason they have a Borg expert on the ship named Shelby, she is cute but adds nothing to this episode. Just to be clear ... she is not a Borg. Not only that, it was only a season ago in which Q transports the Enterprise a million light years away and introduces them to the Borg. How the hell do they suddenly have an expert?? A Borg expert that

Regardless ... the Borg kidnap Picard. Riker takes command of the ship and sends an away team onto the Borg cube. They don't locate Picard but they do manage to sabotage the Borg ship. As they return back to the Enterprise they see Picard on the view screen ... he is now a Borg. Named Locutus. Locutus of Borg. (How un-tough is that name???) And how annoyed are you by the word "Borg".

Hahahahahah!!!! I actually laughed at that. Good one.

Yeah... awesome episode. Oh, and about that cute girl: That's the daughter of Brian Dennehy. True story.

This is off topic but, but do you think you could ever make love to a woman if you knew she was related to Brian Dennehy? I mean, wouldn't his face just keep popping into your mind? She'd probably have a picture of him up on her wall or something too. I don't think I could do it.

haha that was good. I'm sure at some point in like Brian Dennehy may have been a decent looking man, now he just looks like Edward Kennedy

I hope Brian Dennehy isn't one of those people who Googles himself. This conversation might hurt his feelings.
