Borg Episodes - Great News, January 4, 2006
For any of you die hard fans out there complaining that this is another attempt at milking the consumer out of more money, you don't need to buy this set. You already have all these episodes on your season sets. This set isn't marketed for you anyway. This is marketed to a more casual fan who hasn't purchased the season sets, but would still like some of the episodes for their collection. I would fit into that category. The Borg were far and away my favorite storylines and I always though it would be great if I could just get the Borg episodes and not the whole season. And low and behold, here is that opportunity. I am very happy to see this release and am anxious to see which episodes are included. Hopefully it includes the two part STTNG where Picard is trasformed into a Borg and of course the first episode where Q first puts them in contact with the Borg. Anyways, I love this idea of the themed sets and the Borg theme is right at the top of my list. My next wish would be a Q set. Keep them coming!!

Just shy of great..., June 28, 2006
This could have been one of the best ST comps yet, if only it was complete. The Voyager episodes Dark Frontier and Endgame were both two-part cliffhangers when they were first run, yet paramount has only included one half of each two-parter on this collection. Here is an idea: Lose Dark Frontier and include both parts of Endgame. Endgame was not only the Voyager season finale, but the final destruction of the Borg itself, the race of aliens this series focuses on. Admittedly, Dark Frontier is good stuff, and probably deserved a place in this collection, but only half the episode/story? When weighed against one another, Endgame is clearly the one that needs to be in the collection, so why split these two cliffhanger episodes? Other than this bizzare choice of half stories in the Voyager stuff, the rest of the borg collection is pretty tight, with all the best (voted on by fans) Borg entries in all the series this race of aliens appeared in. Classic TNG episodes like "Q Who" and "Best of Both Worlds" are present, as well as newer stories from ST:ENT and ST:VOY. After another run through of these episodes, the Voyager stuff seemed to be a bit tighter than the rest, as it is shot a bit better, lit better, and the effects technology had improved quite a bit. I think the ST producers found a happy medium in production design with Voyager, as TNG looks a bit too bright and sterile and DS9 was too damn dark (production design, not theme). To me, Voyager still looks slick and these episodes play well, years later. Almost a great collection, if not for some odd episode choices.

Ernest BORG-nign, January 26, 2006
I have just now pre-ordered "Star Trek: Fan Collective - Borg" Among all Star Trek Episodes I find the ones featuring The Borg the most entertaining of all. I have to be honest the cost of all the Star Trek series is simply outrageous in my point of view, so i am unwilling to pay what they ask, but i must say that this set of DVD's is a very reasonable price to me. You get some of the best and most entertaining Star Trek episodes out there at a reasonable price. I ask you, who can beat that?
