Fictional faction in Star Trek

Prepare for warp speed as Gene Lyons and Big D travel back to the 24th century—and then to 2063—to review Star Trek: First Contact, the Next Generation crew's darkest and most action-packed cinematic outing. Commissioned by listener Jeremiah as part of a sci-fi classics series, this episode dives deep into the ethics of Picard's command decisions, the practical (and impractical) nature of Borg assimilation, and the horny weirdness of Star Trek fandom. Along the way, Gene and Big D debate Star Trek vs. Star Wars and ponder whether the Borg Queen really does have big “ASMR energy.” They also address critical questions like: What's the best Star Trek tech? And how many wipes does it take to remove Data's synthetic skin? Whether you're Team Trek or Team Wars, this episode is a hilarious, no-holds-barred deep dive into one of the franchise's most beloved films—and possibly its most awkward. Plot Summary In Star Trek: First Contact, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise-E defy Starfleet orders to confront the Borg, a cybernetic collective intent on assimilating Earth. After destroying a Borg cube near Earth, a Borg sphere escapes through a temporal vortex, altering the past to prevent humanity's first contact with alien life. The Enterprise follows the Borg to April 4, 2063—just before Zefram Cochran's historic warp flight that would attract the Vulcans. As the crew works to ensure history stays intact, Picard battles his trauma from past assimilation, while Lieutenant Commander Data is seduced—emotionally and physically—by the sinister Borg Queen. With humanity's future hanging in the balance, Picard must choose between revenge and reason, culminating in a high-stakes confrontation aboard a compromised Enterprise.

In which our heroes discuss Parker Posey (cut from Episode 178 - Josie & The Pussycats)
Assimilation (Star Trek: Picard, S2 E3) was recommended by Hauke he/him, who said: While it's very hard to pull out individual episodes of Picard (especially the first two seasons) on my current rewatch this one stood out to me.Having narrowly escaped the horrible Confederation of the alternate 2400, the crew travels back to 2024 to correct the timeline. “Let's see what has been lost in the wake of your fear” Q whispers to Picard again as they jump to the past.Assimilation sets up the character arcs for the rest of the season.Raffi is racked with guilt and anger for Elnor's death early in the episode.Seven, gets to experience not being met with fear since the timeline hop means she was never assimilated.Rios immediately gets into some good trouble meeting the charming doctor Teresa.And Jurati, still racked with guilt over killing Maddox in season one is doing something difficult and dangerous: impressing the Borg Queen (played in this iteration by the magnetic Anne Wershing who sadly passed away in early 2023).Fear, Hope, guilt, forgiveness. Picard season two is about all these things, deeply personal to both Picard and Stewart, and it doesn't get enough credit.“ Move backward to go forward. Shatter to mend. The past is now.”Assimilation first aired on March 17, 2022, written by Kiley Rossetter & Christopher Monfette, and directed by Lea ThompsonSeven distracts the Magistrate long enough for the group to overpower and kill him and his officers. The ship comes under attack, and the Queen takes advantage of the situation to directly connect herself to the ship's computers. She destroys their pursuers and slingshots the ship around the sun, creating a wormhole to 2024. She tells Picard that they must find "The Watcher" in Los Angeles who knows what Q changed to cause the new timeline. The ship crashes near Chateau Picard in France, and the Queen diverts all power to sustain herself. Elnor dies of his wounds, and Raffi angrily blames Picard before departing with Seven and Rios to start searching for the Watcher. Rios's transporter malfunctions and he is knocked out, waking up in a clinic that secretly treats undocumented immigrants. Before he can leave, immigration officers raid the clinic and arrest both Rios and his physician, Teresa. Rios's communicator is left behind. Despite Picard's warnings, Agnes connects her mind to the Queen and learns the exact location of the Watcher before she can be assimilated, impressing the Queen.The Joy of Trek is hosted by Khaki & Kay, with editing & production by Chief Engineer Greg and music by Fox Amoore (Bandcamp | Bluesky)Send us your recommendations, or support us on Patreon.Find us at joyoftrek.com · Twitter · Facebook
The holidays are known for three things: peace on Earth, good will toward men, and werecats. In that vein, the Borg Queen, Glenn Shadix, and Clovis the Very Good Cat combine to distract you from the extremely icky center of the Tootsie Pop that is 1992's Stephen King's Sleepwalkers. After that, we revisit the golden days of RKO Radio Pictures with quite possibly the very worst person ever presented to moviegoing audiences as a sympathetic protagonist, but at least it looks pretty good. That's 1942's Cat People!Email: info@channel-37.comTwitter: @WHXN37

It's Die Hard on the USS Enterprise!This time of the show, Phil and Liam analyze STAR TREK FIRST CONTACT with the help of special guest Andy Maiorano, host of The AndyPlex podcast and an avowed Star Trek superfan! Set phasers to fun!When he is informed that a hostile race of cybernetic beings known as The Borg have launched an attack on Earth, Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) disobeys orders to directly engage with the Borg threat. However, upon arrival to the battle zone, he discovers that the planet Earth has been completely subsumed by the Borg, who have used time travel to assimilate the entire planet. Picard follows a Borg craft through a temporal vortex and ends up in the past, sending his trusted first officer Commander William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) down to Earth to make sure that history is not changed. However, in the chaos, the Borg board the Enterprise and begin rapidly assimilating the crew, placing the ship, the planet Earth, and the entire course of history, in grave jeopardy!First off, the guys start by discussing their respective relationships with this movie and the Star Trek franchise in general, with each of them landing on very different places on the Trekkie spectrum (or Trek-trum?!). The boys analyze this curious specimen in the ‘Die Hard DNA' section, where they clarify the number of surprising connections between this futuristic siege movie and John McClane's exploits at Nakatomi Plaza. As they break down this Paramount picture yet further in the ‘Anatomy of an Action Movie', the conversation expands into a deeper discussion of Star Trek's utopian philosophies, and this movie's unusually thoughtful exploration of the idea of revenge - which makes it something of an outlier in the traditionally bloodthirsty action movie genre.The boys beam in to the ‘Die Hard Oscars' to hand out some action movie awards (where the Borg Queen commands considerable attention!) before this particular trek is wrapped up with the Double Jeopardy trivia quiz! STAR TREK FIRST CONTACT trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3NJ49VyjDsAt the time of release, STAR TREK FIRST CONTACT is streaming on Paramount +, Prime Video, Max, Fubo and MGM+ in the US and is available to rent or buy on YouTube, Apple/iTunes, Fandango, Spectrum, AMC On Demand and all the usual platforms!

We're feeling a bit musical in today's episode of Casual Trek. Charlie's been eager to crowbar in a musical episode after realising it'll get another episode of Picard ticked off our list, then Strange New Worlds provided us with the perfect opportunity to talk music! We've got three episodes all about music. First up is Voyager with a classic Hubris of The Doctor episode where some Space Karens get fascinated with his singing, but do they love him for him, or just his programming? We also end up talking about AI art and the content slurry of it all Then we're over to Picard in heist mode as the gang need to get JL to give an inspirational speech to his ancestor to save all of time. What's the best distraction? Music! Finally we've got the main event of the episode, Strange New Worlds doing a dedicated musical episode. We've got singing, dancing, a fairly thin plot but who cares when you can belt it out like these actors! 12:01 Voyager: Virtuoso 34:54 Picard: Two of One 53:32 Strange New Worlds: Subspace Rhapsody Talking points include: Hawkwind, the Eurovision Song Contest, Subwoolfer, the new Babylon 5 cartoon, The Poseidon Adventure, The Silt Verses (podcast & RPG), The Manics covering the MASH theme tune, Britpop, Miles' poor taste Burroughs joke, Bono's smugness, The Doctor being the third Crane brother, AI art, Paul Williams' oeuvre, Neelix being a Phil Spector and/or a Del Boy of space, Only Fools & Horses, using Coldplay as white noise, The Borg Queen rips off Scorpius' bit, an alternate casting choice for Professor X from the TNG cast, that time Professor X enslaved a sentient Danger Room, the Metropolis remake, Scott Pilgrim, Buffy, The Magicians, Riverdale, Dr Who's musical audio episode, Macross, modern musicals, Across the Spider-Verse, Rocky Horror Picture Show, the Chuck Austen run of Charlie's X-Men marathon. Oh, and occasionally Star Trek. Pedants Corner: James Newman was the “just some bloke” who the UK sent to Eurovision in 2021 Miles is not a Eurovision expert so he doesn't know Wales don't compete (although it'd be good if they did) and we'd gone on about Eurovision for long enough I didn't want to go back and correct him Where's all the Taylor Swift in episodes we've covered?

Mothers in TrekWIth Mothers' Day being celebrated in many countries this past week, the trio looks at the many mothers in Trek. The definition can be narrow or liberal (is the Borg Queen a mother???), but many characters have raised offspring of various sorts throughout the franchise. No matter what century you find yourself, you'll find a mother for our favorite Trek characters.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3169638/advertisement
Somehow we have already reached the end of season six and the start of season seven of "Voyager"! In what is more-or-less "Trek" tradition it's a two-part affair, and the Borg are back in town! This time we find out about the titular "Unimatrix Zero", where a random array of drones spend their regeneration cycles aware of who they used to be and live separate lives that they cannot remember when they wake up. But the Borg Queen is onto them, and they need to find a way to preserve their temporary independence. Luckily for them, none other than Seven of Nine used to be a member of their club! Can she convince the "Voyager" crew to assist in a potential Borg rebellion? Of course, Janeway loves intense danger! Also this week: Janeway 2024, Hestu, and wrapping season six!
