The Borg Fan Collective has the top ten most popular Borg episodes as picked by the fans! Witness all the characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Enterprise and Voyager as they defend their ships, galaxies, and their own kind. For thousands of years the Borg have been spreading throughout the galaxy, conquering, assimilating and thus destroying countless civilizations. Following every encounter, the Borg catalogue each new species with a numerical designation instead of a proper name.
The goal of the Borg, in most cases, is to completely assimilate each species by incorporating their knowledge and technology into the unified Borg Collective. One by one, each living being is converted into Borg Drones. In many cases, all that remains of an assimilated civilization is the memory of its unique contributions that now resides only within the accumulated knowledge of the Borg. That and the numerical species designation. Often even the name is lost, forgotten or deleted as irrelevant. Conversely, the species designations give a sense of the long and terrible history of the Borg and the thousands of species they have encountered and absorbed.
Editor's Note
Of all the alien lifeforms encountered by intrepid STAR TREK crew members throughout the series' many spinoff shows, none have been more memorable than the virtually unstoppable shapeshifters known as the Borg. Introduced in the first spinoff series, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, the Borg is a race of cyborgs with the terrifying abilities to both assimilate other lifeforms and withstand the most devastating blows (for which their most famous threat, "resistance is futile," has become a popular catchphrase). Culled from STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, and STAR TREK: VOYAGER, this collection presents 14 of the best Borg-related episodes as voted by actual Trekkies, including "The Best of Both Worlds," in which Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) is assimilated by a Borg, and "Drone," which introduces Borg Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) as an Enterprise crew member.
