Star Trek Fan Collective - Borg - Movie Review

Fan Collective: Borg DVD

The Borg Fan Collection has the TOP 14 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. 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.

Borg fans will enjoy if not love this collection. Instead of going out and buying every season of Star Trek, for 100 or so dollars at Best Buy, etc, you can purchase this DVD set and get all of the major Borg episodes, such as "The Best of Both Worlds", where Picard becomes Locutus or "Regeneration".

The picture quality of the DVD's is superb. Pixelation using the DVD zoom feature is minimal. All episodes are shown in a 4:3 aspect ratio except "Regeneration" which is shown in 16:9 Widescreen.

Very highly recommended!

Enterprise is called to intercept, but Captain Archer and his crew find these cyborgs to be an intractable, insidious enemy.

Q WHO....Q flings the Enterprise into the path of a malevolent race of organic-robotic aliens called the Borg.

The new weapon proves successful, however, and the Borg leave Voyager alone once Seven of Nine's link to the collective is severed.

Reviews

It is something every Trek fan should have, if you don't have the episodes separately. Best of both worlds alone, makes the set worth it, though the Voyager episodes are also good, especially Scorpion and Unimatrix 0. I enjoyed Endgame, though it had a shaky plot and was not a fitting end to a 7 year saga. Definitely worth it. Thinking over this buy is irrelevant,thinking is irrelevant.

My husband loves Star Trek, so this was a natural thing to get for him - and he just loved it! It has all the episodes that you need if you want to watch Star Fleet battle the Borg!!

So far, the best of the ST collections I have seen. Best to watch First Contact movie, then dive into this collection. Let the assimilation begin!
