A ship being destroyed does not mean everyone is dead, especially with such broken tech the Federation has.

Just like the brain parasites in that episode of TNG It had an unsolved mystery style that I’m glad was never finished because it leaves us wondering. I this battle put their raw strength into perspective as a single cube just bashed its way through to terra although it was stopped it shows that if they wanted the Borg could crush them.

Conducting such an operation out in deep space would have made more sense.

@bigevil1001

Жыл бұрын

I believe the Borg’s reason for wanting Locutus was not for some grand long-term goal but for 2 simpler reasons. 1-In their plan to assimilate earth they desired a strategic advantage. It was decided by assimilating a Starfleet officer of sufficient rank, they could gain strategic knowledge on their target. They had limited knowledge of humans and the Federation. Having only gained knowledge from the Enterprise’s engineering computer in Q Who. Voyager and Enterprise retcons not withstanding. They chose Picard because he was the first Starfleet captain they had met. So they already knew him. 2-The other reason they created Locutus? Does anyone remember that Voyager episode “Faces”. Remember how that Vidiian was trying to make Klingon-Belanna love him but he was deformed? So he thought “If I take her friend, cut off his face and wear it, she will be more comfortable around me.” Naturally, Belanna was horrified and enraged. I think the Borg operated on the same warped logic. “If WE ask them to submit to assimilation they will get scared and try to fight us…but if PICARD, a respected and decorated Starfleet captain, asks them they will feel comfortable and more receptive to assimilation.

Borg cubes have a serious problem; while very sturdy, they're very slow at impulse, and cumbersome at that. They're massive, but sluggish, and easily hunted; it is for that reason that they mostly use lighter faster and more maneuverable ships as flank cover for them to shield them from direct attack while they use their longer range weapons and act as planted bombardment posts to wear down opposition- when acting in a group, a Borg fleet is one of the most formidable units in the entire Science-fiction universe anywhere.

Starfleet could've used the same argument with Sisko, that his experience at Wolf 359 might interfere with his judgement if he commanded the Defiant, and that Lt.

More drama, more emotions, this was great to listen to.

Very intriguing and breath-taking fantastic tale of the events of first contest and of the federation standing up and sending a two fingered salute to the borg, that resistance is not futile. Intriguing twisted reasoning of tying second borg invasion into desperation and looking for a way to defeat species 8472. As we saw from Voyager, lengths Borg were willing to go to in that respect. Plus was great to see just how much better and strategically able due to the new types of ship classes and strategy and tactics, that Starfleet had come up with over the six years grace they had been afforded to really hit the borg were it hurt and pound them to destruction and going toe to toe with them. Giving them a fleet capable of defeating the borg, but also of fighting a massive long attrition war against the Dominion a few years later. acquisition

Wow...just wow 👏👏👏 The art and your storytelling is just epic. Regardless if this is canon or not, this is the greatest story I've heard in a WHILE. Thank you, I needed this. 🤘

I heard about something called "technology farming" once, and immediately I thought of the Borg. The most terrifying thing about them is their patience, their diligence, their willingness to play the long game. If a civilisation gains their interest, that civilisation is doomed. It matters not how long it takes. The Borg send just one cube at a time, every few years or so, to gauge a society's technological progress by attacking it. If the cube is defeated, then the Collective takes what it's learned and adapts, but they also watch to see what that society learns from the encounter, and after a few years or a few generations, they do it again, with just enough to make the defeat just costly enough that the target society bounces back and develops more. Lather, rinse, repeat. Eventually that society will reach the pinnacle of its technological advancement, and then the Borg return....in swarms. They achieve their goals of both getting the best stuff and bringing other societies closer to the Borg ideal of perfection. Resistance, in the end, was as futile as hope. It's quite Lovecraftian.

@Robert_Douglass

2 ай бұрын

The later episodes of Star Trek Picard, Season Three, bear this out, going all the way back to Wolf 359. Picard's reclamation from the Collective was not without its drawbacks. During Picard's time as Locutus, Dr Beverly Crusher-Picard noted upon a detailed examination of Captain Picard what had initially been perceived as nanofibers, later determined to be Borg nanoprobes, and which had begun to alter his DNA. And upon his severance from the Collective, Picard's genetic code had returned largely to baseline, but with one glaring exception which would go undetected for a number of years. Initially misdiagnosed as Irumodic Syndrome, a brain abnormality had formed within Picard. Twenty-five years later it would end the life of his original body, which ten years later was taken from Daystrom Institute, and the genetic code reprogrammed into the transporter pattern buffers of every Starfleet ship constructed after the Dominion War. Those who used Starfleet transporters would be reintegrated with Picard's modified DNA code, and ten years afterwards the seeds of the genetic assimilation of Humanity by the Borg were sown. This nearly spelled the doom of the Federation, and it shows an excellent example of how truly insidious and forward-looking the Borg could be.

I do like the original intent of First Contact to have the Borg arrive as multiple Cubes. It would make the Borg less weird sending one only and give greater strength to Starfleet taken down more than one cube in a running battle.

Another amazing video, thanks for all your hard work.

With the 2D gameboard like animations with the 'Borg Buster' ships, like the Akira and Steamrunner classes, their flat shape really looks like the NX-01 Enterprise - Which, in turn, makes me think that when the Federation Engineers were creating them they drew inspiration from or used the template of the NX-01 Enterprise, the rough and sturdy frontiersmen used by Archer, one of the Founders of the Federation. This is in contrast to how the 'Luxury Hotel Palace' that is the Galaxy class was based on the more sophisticated and stylish Constitution class of the Swashbuckling Cowboy days that is Kirk's Era. The neat 'head-canon' idea that when the Federation needed to reinvent and upgun their military abilities, they go back to their roots, those roots being the lessons hard learned by Captain Jonathon Archer. Seeing they need to use the dirty pick-up truck instead of the designer sports car. Then that all convolutedly ties back into the Time Loop that is the relationship between the movie 'Star Trek: First Contact' and the Star Trek Enterprise episode 'Regeneration' (2x23).

If I recall, Oberths did rather well at Sector 001. We didn't see any destroyed on screen, same with the Nebula, Miranda and even the Norway class. The Akira, Saber and worst of all the Steamrunners were the ones being blown to smithereens. The Oberth reputation as canon fodder is only limited to one movie and three episodes of TNG. We saw the Enterprise-D destroyed more times than that.

The way tells the account of these battles and his imagery is by far way better than Hollywood's version.

This story sent shivers down my spine!🥶🥶

Picard was no coward, he however completely agreed with Adm. Heyes' judgement on the situation and what he should do; only violating orders when he found out it was that his side was on the ropes and needed desperate help. Had the Adm. survived the initial encounter, he'd have happily conferenced with him to explain his reasons for his violation of orders- and his judgement of why that was deemed necessary, and should it be decided I have no doubt he'd willingly submit to disciplinary conditions once the firefight with the Borg was over and won.

I have this movie and love it

same probably my favorite.

I'm amazed at how many people study the Borg's preoccupation with "humanity" and yet always seem to miss the obvious reason why both the answer is right there and also why the question itself is why they don't see it. In my opinion it's not Humanity they want. It's the federation. Think about it, assimilated ten Klingon ships, cardasian ships or jemhada ships and really how many different experiences, perspectives and types of knowledge do you get? They will vary very little for the Borg's interests. But one federation ship let alone its fleet... That's like a buffet! One ship could have Vulcan, human, ferengi, bolian, andorian, bajoran etc etc... Why assimilate a billion of one thing when you can get a good understanding of a hundred different species and then use that info to go and conquer their own home world's? It's kinda arrogant to assume humanity is their goal. it wasn't humanity that stopped them at wolf 359. It was the federation.

Not a word about the Borg's REAL human nemesis...Captain Kathryn Janeway, of USS Voyager!

Yeah i got a few quantum torpedoes for you to assimilate and that isn't optional...

Rather loving the intro to this video, that combines the opening to Alien, HP Lovecraft and a dose of Doctor Who if I'm not mistaken

I Love Star Trek and I Love The 'BORG' + Q.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I will keep watching the show to the day I "DIE".!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I wish Paramount Plus would make a new T.V. Game show like Jeopardy?

I really wish there was a DS9 episode that tied the series into First Contact, it would've been a great break from the Dominion story....

“....may have doomed the entire galaxy.” Then enter Janeway 😉

If you had been a script writer First Contact would have turned into a sci fi epic.

you flatter me sir. personally 'First Contact' is my favorite film i'm able to ignore some of the more egregious bits of writing thanks to a incredible soundtrack, and gorgeous Cinematography.

I had no idea as to what the Undine had to do with the Battle of Sector 001. It’s rather interesting to find they influenced the Borg to take that course of action. By the way, the Undine is what Star Trek Online calls Species 8472 so that’s my name for them.
