Star Trek Fan Collective - Borg

ALL about Borg need I say more.. This was excellent..

I'm not a Trekkie (I have a couple of friends who are), and there is nothing wrong being one. The fact is, I'm more of a casual fan. I think the "Star Trek" franchise is not bad, and there are some great intriguing ideas explored in the stories, but I could never get that engaged into most of them. Then I saw the film "Star Trek-First Contact", and I was stunned. The Borg is, without a doubt, the most jacked-up antagonist the Federation ever had to face. I also saw a "Voyager" episode involving the Borg (it's on this collection), and I was hooked. Again, I'm still not a total fan. I don't really plan on getting the other collections, but the Borg is SCARY - in an awesome way. I did enough "research" so I was up to snuff on other storylines so I was able to enjoy this more.For those who don't know, but if you're reading this you probably already do, the original "Star Trek" is not featured because the writers didn't come up with the Borg idea yet. "Deep Space Nine" is also omitted, but the other three shows are present. The episodes are presented in star date order. I'm not going to go into who or what the Borg is - if you're reading this, you already know. Besides, the less said the better, you have to experience it as it plays out.I don't know too much about "Enterprise" with Scott Bakula, but it seems to be a real good quality show (except I feel it has one of the worst opening theme songs ever). This episode is great though, and it gives a good explanation about the Borg for the unintiated. Next, there are six "TNG" episodes, two of them are two-parters. "Q Who?" is, I believe, the first show to introduce the Borg. Although the Borg's appearance was not fully realized yet, "Q Who?" (scary & suspenseful) and "I Borg" (touching & endearing) are incredible, the best shows from "TNG". The others are good too, but they had a tendency to paint themselves into a corner, and they went on a tad too long.Next, there are seven episodes of "Voyager". Two of them, "Scorpion" & "Unimatrix Zero", are two-parters; another one, "Dark Frontier", is a two-hour season finale, and "Endgame" is the two-hour series finale. Even though I felt "Voyager" was inferior to "TNG"; "Scorpion" (which introduced the character Seven of Nine) and "Endgame" (which got the actress who played the Borg Queen in the movie to reprise her role) are absolutely amazing. The other episodes are, of course, good, especially "Drone", but like "TNG" two-parters, they painted themselves into a corner (so to speak) and seemed reeeaaal long. However, "Voyager" really defined the Borg. Now, I'm a casual fan, and I loved this. If you're a Trekkie, you should be ashamed of yourselves if you don't own this. The fans have spoken, and they picked winners. Buy it, NOW!

Came in fast. Was used but you wouldn't know for each disc and packaging looked brand new. No issues playing the discs

This selection of Star Trek adventures was extremely satisfying. I never get tired of a well written script. The characters and the dynamic plot has all the suspence and action I love to see played out on the screen. I hope someone will continue to write more Star Trek plots in the future like these.

This collection revolves around the `Borg', and is devoted to The Next Gen and Voyager- although the opening episodes are from the Enterprise series. It is hard going from the widescreen digital format of Enterprise and then back to the old-school format of the two older series- I think it tends to emphasis how much special effects have advanced, but it also detracts a little from The Next Gen and Voyager. Additionally, this is a whole lot of Borg episodes- if you are only going to purchase one of these collections, get the `Time Travel', I think it has more variety within its theme. But, obviously, if you are all about getting a Borg fix, then this is the set for you, hands down.These lower priced boxed sets are a good way to review all your old favorites from the various trek series. You avoid two of the pitfalls found in the alternative of purchasing all individual seasons: firstly, even at a reduced price, you will end up spending considerably more on individual seasons; secondly, having a bookshelf devoted to startrek is not always socially the wisest course of action. For those who make the leap and fully indulge in their passion for Trek, I make no judgments. Personally, I would like to enjoy my sci-fi fix with a little bit more subtlety than a 28 season marathon in my room and few more dollars in my pocket.The episodes chosen seem to capture the theme of each boxed set very well, and it would be nice to see a "Startrek: Classics" set with no particular theme, just those good episodes that were fun to watch.I will fault the selections for the overlap that is present in each theme. I'm not positive, but I don't think you can purchase any two sets without re-purchasing at least one episode.

I bought this as a graduation present to myself. I'm sort of a life-long casual Trek fan, but a pretty huge fan of the Borg. I think they did a good job of compiling the best of the Borg episodes. I was familiar w/ the ST:TNG episodes ("I, Borg" probably being my favourite), but some how I had never watched a single episode of ST:V'ger.This set is very heavy on the V'ger episodes. I personally enjoyed those episodes, and it kind of makes me want to watch the entirety of the V'ger series. I really enjoyed the "Drone" episode, and it was cool to get the return of the original Borg Queen from ST:TNG First Contact in the last episode.My only complaint is that ST:Ent has the absolute worst theme song of any show ever.If you're at all a fan of the Borg, or Trek in general, there's no reason to not buy this. I got my copy for about $6 (and about $4 of that price was the shipping) from Goodwill Seattle. The disks were in amazing condition, and the packaging was perfect.

If you are fan of the Borg this is a must have for your Star trek Borg fansall the episodes from all the star trek that deal with the Borg a great collection.

I have seen these Borg fan collective episodes years ago. Star Trek is absolutely brilliant from the movies to all star trek episodes. As for this Borg fan collective, it is very entertaining and enjoyable. To anyone who buys this, you certainly will not be disappointed

Wer hätte damals, als beio Erstausstrahlung der 'Star Trek Next Generation'-Folge, in welcher Q Picard & Co. mit den Borg bekannt machte, diese merkwürdigen Wesen - halb Mensch, halb Maschine - derart populär werden würden, daß sie in 'Star Trek First Contact' die Rolle der Bösewichte spielten und in 'Star Trek Voyager' sogar eine der Hauptfiguren (7 of 9) eine ehemalige Borg war!Widerstand war also zwecklos: Es mußte einfach eine Sammelbox mit den Borg-Highlights zusammengestellt werden. Die Folgen wurden chronologisch nach der Sternzeit, in welcher sie spielten, sortiert:StarTrek Enterprise: 'Regeneration' (die einzige in 16:9 gedrehte Folge)Star Trek Next Generation: 'Q Who?!', 'Best of both worlds' (Doppelfolge), 'I, Borg', 'Descent' (Doppelfolge)Star Trek Voyager: 'Scorpion', 'Drone', 'Dark frontier', 'Unimatrix Zero', 'Endgame' (Bis auf 'Drone' alles Doppelfolgen)Zusammen mit dem 'Star Trek First Contact'-Spielfilm kommen Borg-Fans wie meine Wenigkeit voll auf ihre Kosten!Wenn ich dies alles nacheinander auf DVD ansehen möchte, würde ich persönlich - trotz der Reise in die Vergangenheit vor 'Enterprise' - den Spielfilm zwischen 'Next Generation' und 'Voyager' platzieren.

A great collection of films on Star Trek the Borg good for all those fans

Enjoyed the DVD! Fast prompt shipper.
