the borg

Technology and our increased ability to seamlessly interface with it have been a pasttime that engenders both curiosity and terror in the hearts of humanity. Star Trek: The Next Generation gave us The Borg, an alien, cybernetic race that touches on not only our fascination and fear of technology, but also the anxiety of social and cultural homogenization. Co-hosts of the Star Trek podcast, The Greatest Generation, Benjamin R. Harrison and Adam Pranica, join our host, Dany Roth, to fully assimilate the Borg. Resistence is futile.

The crew of the Enterprise encounter the signature destructive mark of the Borg and suddenly the situation escalates rather quickly as Starfleet forms an armada to stop the oncoming threat. The Borg prove to be a formidable (beyond the wildest dreams of the crew) opponent and they manage to take Captain Picard away from the crew to use him as a weapon against humanity and the Federation.. Find out what we think of the last episode of season 3 of Star Trek the Next Generation.
