Captain Picard is forced to act as the liaison for the Borg invasion of Sector 001! In “The Best of Both Worlds”, we review a pivotal moment in Picard’s journey, as he becomes Locutus of Borg. Like always, we are here for the deep-dive, reflecting on how Commander Riker and crew fair in his absence, and how Picard is shaped going forward.

Stardate: 43989.1 An Starfleet expert on the Borg, Lt. Cmdr. Shelby, is assigned to the Enterprise to investigate the disappearance of a Federation colony. Picard is abducted by the Borg and assimilated into the Collective, which forces Riker to attempt a rescue mission.
