328: STAR TREK: TNG's "I, Borg" Back-Trekking Retrospective
Episode description
This week we're diving into one of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s most iconic and thought-provoking episodes, Season 5’s “I, Borg.” In this Back-Trekking Retrospective, Fatheree and Taylor are joined by Starfleet Sohail to revisit the story that challenged the Federation’s ethics and gave a face, and a name, to the enemy. We’ll explore the moral dilemmas surrounding Hugh, discuss the episode’s legacy within Trek canon, and reflect on how “I, Borg” shaped future portrayals of the Borg. Resistance is futile… but deep discussion is guaranteed!
As always, available in both video and audio-only formats.

"I, Borg"
Written by René Echevarria
Directed by Robert Lederman
The discovery of an injured adolescent Borg brings to the surface hard feelings for both Captain Picard and Guinan for what the Borg Collective had done to them. Matters are complicated when plans to use the young Borg to destroy his people are halted when it is discovered that the Borg has become an individual.
