Star Trek Week: The Borg, Part 2
Summary
Hosts Robert Lamb and Joe McCormick continue their Star Trek Week series by analyzing the Borg as a complex villain. They discuss the philosophical implications of assimilation on preference utilitarianism and explore the Borg as a dark mirror of the Federation's colonial tendencies. The episode also examines the introduction of the Borg Queen in *First Contact*, debating whether this centralized antagonist enhances the narrative or undermines the collective horror that originally defined the species.
