    The tagline fur TUC should probably be At least he wandered into a good Star Trek movie this time. :p

    Even if it were a good film, implying it's an action-packed thrill ride! was probably the wrong approach.

    This is what a Star Trek film looks like without lens flare.

    The alien looks pretty cool and the footage has me wondering about Kirk's uniform. I don't recall seeing a uniform like that before.

    Stupid question.

    Watching 'Dark Frontier' and Seven's parents leave Earth to study the Borg. But it's Stardate 32xxx - 10 years before the Enterprise first encounter them. I assume this is just the Voyager writers ignoring everything written before?

    Yes. Not to mention it should have taken them decades to even reach Borg space (assuming a little civilian ship like the Raven could implausibly cruise as fast as Voyager).

    Glad it's not me. I seem to remember generally disliking the Borg episodes on Voyager. This seems to show why.

    Voyager is a terrific example of a show which ended up boring me because it gave me exactly what I wanted. I remember as a kid seeing Star Trek: First Contact at the cinema. This was the film which would turn me into a Trek fan. From this I was hoping there would be a series where the Borg were the focal adversary . Voyager did exactly this as of Season 3. The trouble is, it became so saturated with Borg that they ended up just being a part of the furniture.

    I'm not kidding here. I just went on google images and searched for "Borg throne" with the intentions of using an image from that to respond to your comment. Every photo is of the British royal family. Seriously, try it for yourself.

    Hmmmm....someone just saved their job at Google then lol

    That's now what I get.

    I swear, every photo for as long I could scroll was William, Kate, Queen, Charles or Philip. I couldn't even find a generic photo of a Borg drone.

    Nicholas Meyer: "To the undiscovered country!"
    David Warner looks at him with a puzzled look on his face
    Nicholas Meyer: "It's the name of the next movie."

    They should have Patrick Stewart advertise the Borg chair.

    "Need to relax after a hard day? Come and take a seat in your brand new plush Borg chair? You can't help but feel relaxed...resistance is futile."

    Netflix has apparently put up the HD (720p) versions of TNG. Basically the Blu-Ray remasters in lower quality, but still a hell of a lot better than the original transfers.

    Excellent- was wondering how long it would take them to do that. There's a lot of motion distortion on the original versions, even ignoring image quality.

    Near the end of season 5 of Voyager. I could not finish 'The Fight' so so so dull and pointless.
