Uhh, this may turn out to be phenomenally bad...
But it still isn't exactly canon-busting material. Starfleet is known for keeping dirty secrets even from itself. Let's just hope that the encounters will stay on the X-Files level, ambiguous enough that they could be "explained away" in an official report of the kind Scully would write. At this stage, Earth officials should still view most of the tall tales of outer space monsters with extreme sceptiscm.
Cute idea to have the "First Contact" sphere crash on Earth, if that's what the writers imply. Sure, it seemed to get blowed up real good - but some shrapnel could still have survived the fall.

Especially considering how careful they where regarding masking their warp trail from the Vulcan ship.
So will this tie in to the temporal cold war, which may offer some scant justification, or is this going to be a pure stunt?

I wonder. . . There's a lot of Earth-based action here, and they're going to try to tie in the NX-01 as well? Is this a real, definite confirmed report?
Posted by Timo (Member # 245) on :
So far, these act-by-act treatises have been pretty reliable. And the lead time is rather long this time, but not exceptionally so.
IMHO, Picard had no time for a mop-up operation in "First Contact". The Vulcans were already breathing down on their necks, and hiding in the Moon's gravitic shadow probably only works against one ship at a time.
One wonders if the "FC" era Vulcans were already familiar with transporter signatures. When the crew beamed up, they took something of a risk - why not depart significantly earlier or later? Perhaps transporters couldn't have been detected by the Vulcans, so some sort of a mop-up could have been done with them after all.
But let's give the writers the benefit of doubt here. Picard thought he had destroyed the Sphere for good, but his ship's relevant sensors might have been down at the time, like the shields were. And perhaps a few dead Drones in a piece of twisted metal amidst the fallout of the WWIII nuke that was supposed to remove Anchorage but missed isn't that easily observable from orbit?

PLEASE tell me it will not happen? I had that feeling, too, that Enterprise was indeed "finally coming around".... and they pop up with something like that?
What next? Glorious space battles with Remans? Negotiating cease fire between Bajorans and Cardassians? Discovery of wormhole and some strange black, bald, bearded guy in futuristic StarFleet uniform inside? Or maybe whole crew of the Enterprise will be put on trial by some omnipotent being? Or swept away to the Delta Quadrant by giant space station?

I don't see the logic in this story. This is like the alien egg aboard the Sulaco in Aliens 3. The queen wasn't laying eggs when she attacked Ripley and her adopted daughter. How does this apply to Star Trek?
In First Contact, the sphere was destroyed outside Earth's atmosphere. If any debris survived from the explosion, it would surely have been destroyed upon reentry with the planet's atmosphere. There is no evidence for the Borg cyber-suits having extreme flame retardation. Instead, we have seen the suits have vulnerablities which accounts for the necessity of a full body shield.
This is yet another example of very poor science in Star Trek. Posted by Harry (Member # 265) on :

To be fair, though...I think we've seen from recent events that some things--including bodies--can fall to earth from the upper atmosppheric limits relatively intact.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Especially if they were contained within some sort of chamber which was strong enough to not burn up. Which would be pretty strong, since I don't think the sphere blew up over the arctic, which means it landed at a shallow angle, passing through as much atmosphere as possible.
Of course, it doesn't have to be the FC sphere, anyway.
And, as stupid as it was, ST7 and VOY already established that the Borg were not new in "Q Who?", so, as long as these scientists don't have a lot of time to study the drones (and they certainly wouldn't be able to get the name "Borg" from them), continuity should be accurately (if tenuously) preserved.
But, then, it still proves that, if the writing team has an ounce of originality among them, that's all they have. They have any number of aliens they can use, both established ones (especially Tholians, Tellarites, etc.: ones we want to see), and an infinite number they can make up, and they fall back on OMG TEH B0RGZ!!!, the most disgustingly overused and ruined bunch in the franchise.

Well... I figured they'd find Hawk's frozen, assimilated corpse floating in orbit, and that would be Enterprise's introduction to the Borg... but I guess this makes as much sense.
I won't judge until I see. But, I'm also wondering how they plan on tying Enterprise in with this episode. Obviously the ship can't encounter a Borg ship in space at the same time all this is happening on on Earth....
Posted by Kazeite (Member # 970) on :
Now you know, that's actually interesting idea... Kinda like "Space Oddysey 3001" Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
I would hope that Hawk's body would have been retrieved and returned to his family. (Uh, closed casket burial, presumably.) Or, more likely, returned to various top secret research facilities.
Anyway, uh, I'm having a hard time building up the indignation here. The Borg are boring now, this is true. The story seems unnecessary. But it features action on Earth. This is good. It features arctic circle action! This I have always been a sucker for, almost regardless of plot. The Thing? Yes please. The Thing's predecessor which I have seen but whose name I cannot for the life of me recall? (Who Goes There? Or is that the name of the Campbell story?) Super. Every episode of The X-Files where Carter went all Ice Station Zebra on us? Keen X 20.
Anyway, sadly, the last two hours of Star Trek that anyone in the real world cared about was First Contact. Thus: Borg everywhere when ratings are desired.
Posted by Kazeite (Member # 970) on :
This could very likely lead to heated discussion on what exactly happened to Hawk's body
Common sense would require them to gather all thing they brought with them, including escape pods, crewmembers, dead bodies... and any Borg remains they could find.
Of course, common sense would also require them NOT to return to the future in a manner easily visible to anyone who happened to be watching skies at the right moment. Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

I'm not surprised. But that doesn't mean that I'm not incredibly pissed.
I don't want to get into yet another discussion what continuity is about. For the record, to me continuity is more than just literal obedience to a set of rules, more than just making sure that something is or is not mentioned or shown.
Half of the episodes so far were based on or heavily relied on anachronistic ideas like holodecks, replicators, cloaking devices, shapeshifters, Romulans, Ferengi and now Borg. If we are picky, the hard continuity breaches were rather few in Enterprise, but the topics of the series are extremely inadequate for what we would have to expect. Even worse, with so few genuine 22nd century ideas in the stories as well as in the details, the premise has utterly failed - only that the producers wouldn't admit that.
The Borg episode may be the final nail in the coffin of the series premise. With other storylines (such as Vulcans vs. Andorians) being further developed, the idea of Enterprise may survive, but once the line has been crossed to allow just any incursion to the timeline, this loss of reputation and credibility will affect the genuine ideas too.

Well yeah I expected the Borg to appear on Enterprise. I kinda hoped that it would be much later in the series and that it would be short i.e. Archer's shown the Borg as a reason for the formation of the Federation or as a possible faction in the temporal cold war, instead of having somebody do a copy of The Thing with the Borg.
Of course this could be a third arc in the show along side the TCW and the Vulcan-Andorian hotilites-lead to birth of federation: the 23-24th century stuff that dosen't belong arc!
So in season 1 we had the Ferengi, we've got the Borg in season 2, so what's for season 3? the Gorn? Captain Riker of the Titan for season 4? The Guardian of Forever in season 5? Sarek in season 6? Admiral Janeway and Seven of Nine in season 7?

While I was initially ready to shoot someone at Paramount over this, upon reading through the episode synopsis on TrekToday, I've come to the conclusion that it probably won't turn out to be so bad---provided that this doesn't become a recurrent thing. Actually, tying it in with First Contact is pretty clever writing, if you ask me.
And we do already know that there was knowledge of the Borg within the upper echelons of Starfleet long before TNG "Q Who?" as per VGR "The Raven" and "Dark Frontier."
Of course, you may take my opinion with the knowledge that I'm one of the few who wasn't outraged or even disappointed by "Acquisition," so...

I mean, one way or another wasnt the 21st Century already aware of the Borg, a la Lily, not to mention ships named Enterprise?? Wait, who gets credit for Cochranes first flight, Riker and LaForge?? I hate paradoxs, though I think this is a good idea for an episode based on that premise. As long as they can manage to keep 22nd Century Borg, 22nd Century Borg Vessels, Janeway, Picard, Locutus, the Queen, Hugh, Lore, or Ferengi out of the picture there is a chance that keeping this episode an "isolated, what the hell are these things" episode then I will be able to sleep tonite.

Creating an "isolated incident"-type episode to explore the possibility of finding the remains of a 24th century Borg Sphere that was destroyed by a 24th century Federation/Starfleet starship during the 21st Century is an interesting premise, AS LONG AS they stick to it being a single 2-part episode that doesnt involve more Borg (inc. 24th, 22nd, 53rd, 18th Century Borg) before, during, or after that cliff-hanger concludes, period. It is feasable to do, moreso than the Ferengi or holodecks or Vulcans stalking Sputnik have been, because we know that the possibility of wreckage exists, because it WAS there, or will be there in the futures past.
Yes, I agree with you about originality in Enterpise as a whole; but if Berman INSISTS on rehashing an old idea, this certainly has been the most original concept thus far, just look at the new Klingon ep coming up and tell me that this at least sounds more interesting.
Dont get me wrong, I do hate the Borg and all the screwing Janeway has done with the Borg, but this does at least sound interesting. At least they are using an original idea as an element of a paradox: "here is a ship that wont be in known use for another 220 years destroyed 90 years ago" lets write a story about it. It has to a better concept then "All Good Things..." was, and even though it IS the Borg, at least its a good idea. How the episode as a whole pans out, that is something yet to be determined
