I dont know if they knew what they had during the inception of the Borg, but they definitely knew what they had after they saw Q Who. It's the scariest Trek has ever been. They naturally get scaled back over time as we learn more, but this movie does a great job bringing it back to that. Also "He's older than he is tall" made me giggle for so damn long. Favorite line in the episode.

2025-03-01 11:53:19 +0000 UTCThe Brutalist director was the star of Thunderbirds (2004)! This is blowing my mind

2025-03-01 08:18:51 +0000 UTCI always felt like they were doing a Hellraiser thing with the Borg. Even down to the cube

2025-03-01 06:38:58 +0000 UTCAmazing to hear Griffin cite “Worf with a lute” as broad without the context of Worf smashing Geordi’s lute. Do we think this is savant shit or has he seen a meme ambiently?

2025-03-01 06:23:52 +0000 UTCThere’s rarely been a more quintessentially Blank Check episode summary detail than “Cromwell drip”

2025-03-01 05:54:51 +0000 UTCCalling him Jean-Luc CAN be a power move but happens more often in the show than I tend to remember, when she does it here she has the power of it being the only time anyone ever dared, it’s so great

2025-03-01 05:49:13 +0000 UTCNow that I think about it, I guess Spielberg movies actually do this several times in close proximity in the current miniseries, that’s interesting

2025-03-01 05:47:11 +0000 UTCNo surprise, that's maybe my fav Williams score (I'm never gonna get into a debate about what's the BEST with Williams, but it's my fav)

2025-03-01 05:46:33 +0000 UTCJurassic Park is actually another example of this, I would say, coming up soon haha

2025-03-01 05:45:08 +0000 UTCI just always have special affection for the specific subset of big sweeping classical blockbuster themes that actually are not either action-adjacent or love themes. They’re a less numerous part of the Big Willie Style/Goldsmith/Silvestri/Horner/etc. sort of zone, but it makes sense that a Star Trek movie would be one of the rare times that a blockbuster quintuples down on that type of theme

2025-03-01 05:42:08 +0000 UTCMaybe my favorite Trek movie score? It's got tough competition with Khan and Undiscovered Country but I love this score so much.

2025-03-01 05:31:01 +0000 UTCAlfre Woodard is so damn good in this it almost makes me wish she wasn’t in it so she could’ve been a Trek captain in later iterations.

2025-03-01 05:28:31 +0000 UTCHELL YEAH 😂
