The first two seasons of Star Trek: TNG sucked eggs. Basically because Roddenberry was intent on it being a "non-violent action-adventure series" where all conflicts were solved peacefully.

Then he died, and his successors went back to shoot 'em up battles with the Romulans and introduced the Borg. The show got much, much better then.

Okay, i'll buy that. I remember thinking at the time that one of the big problems with Star Trek was the lack of space battles/fighting. There is a reason "Wrath of Khan" is the favorite Star Trek movie, and pretty much the only one anyone remembers.

I thought they could have done a better job with the Borg though. Some of that hybridization between machines and humanoids was just too stupid to be convincing.

They ended up making a hybrid that was inferior to either a machine or a human.

Fiat was apparently the low bidder.

I bet the Borg were somehow the result of v’ger and decker.
