This week we're diving into one of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s most iconic and thought-provoking episodes, Season 5’s “I, Borg.” In this Back-Trekking Retrospective, Fatheree and Taylor are joined by Starfleet Sohail to revisit the story that challenged the Federation’s ethics and gave a face, and a name, to the enemy. We’ll explore the moral dilemmas surrounding Hugh, discuss the episode’s legacy within Trek canon, and reflect on how “I, Borg” shaped future portrayals of the Borg. Resistance is futile… but deep discussion is guaranteed!
As always, available in both video and audio-only formats.
