I've been a big fan of the Borg ever since I first caught their assault on the Federation in the `Best of Both Worlds' cliffhanger, where our beloved chrome-dome is taken prisoner & turned into one of the enemy. These two shows are included in this set, along with the second-season gem `Q-Who?', where the 24th century's most mischievous all-powerful entity makes formal introductions between the antagonists. And let's not forget `I Borg', where the Enterprise crew rescues a single Borg survivor, and moral dilemmas start popping up left & right regarding their visitor. These four eppies are among the best that NextGen ever offered, and paved the way for further Borg hijinks in the 'First Contact' ' movie and the last several seasons of the starship Voyager's return trip.

Although this set showcases the best of NextGen's borg eppies, there're a few other shows relating to the NextGen heroes' most relentless foes that I also recommend you take a look at: the first-season finale `The Neutral Zone', `Family' (which is an immediate follow-up to `The Best of Both Worlds'), and of course the `First Contact' feature film. Catch these along with the box set shows, and I'm pretty sure you'll agree that when it comes to being a Borg aficionado, resistance is indeed futile!

This four tape/episode set includes, "Q Who?", "Best of Both Worlds I & II", and "I,Borg". "Q Who?" is the initial introduction to the borg where Q flings the enterprise to the far reaches of the galaxy. "Best of Both Worlds" was the overwhelming fan favorite and two part season finale (a full season after "Q Who?", where Picard is captured and the borg invade. Finally, "I,Borg" where the Enterprise captures an injured Borg drone. "Q Who?" and "The Best of Both Worlds" are Star Trek at its best, and can be followed even if you are new to the series. "I, Borg" leaves something more to be desired, and is quickly forgotten afterwards. Nevertheless, this is a great box set.

This fout tape set is a must for any Star Trek fan. It features some of the most interesting episodes of ST:TNG ever aired including "The Best Of Both Worlds," quite possibly the best Star Trek episode ever made on any of the series.
