I think "200" is a round figure.

4) Last but certainly not least, the cube in system J-25 wasn't specifically headed for Earth until Q dangled a suckulent carrot in front of it. Then there's the neutral zone incident hinting at early Borg presence... but if attacking Earth was their alleged motivation, why didn't they?

I thought Q knew the Borg were coming and he did Picard & co a favor by revealing it to them in advance.

Fortunately Phlox's physiology is somehow resist to the Borg nanoprobes and he begins developing a treatment to expell them from his body.

This is known by the phrase "they've written themselves into a corner." Or are we supposed to think that the Denobulans have something in common with Species 8472?

Granted, the hints we've heard from early on suggested that Denobulans were absent from the 24th century because they became reclusive or disappeared for some reason, and that could explain why the Borg never heard of them. But the Borg would never have heard of most of the species they encounter and can assimilate them without any problems -- again, Species 8472 being the only exception.

I suppose that we shouldn't be surprised that Braga is contradicting his own canon now.

You seem to be overlooking the fact that if the Borg in this episode are blown up, (as the article states they will be) then the Collective will never know about Denobulans until they come to the the Alpha/Beta Quadrant in the 24th century. (And at that time, it seems there aren't any Denobulans around. )

They'll become the Cardassians. You'll see.
