TNG - Q Who

This is, of course the episode in which the Borg is first seen. Making for a very good episode. In Q who the Borg, however, are described by Q as being only interested in technology, instead of being interested in technology , and assimilation footer as they are in later episodes. This minor discrepancy can by explained by saying; simply that Q was not giving the enterprise crew a full description of Borg’s motives. Another point of interest in this episode is the fact that Guinin seems to have the ability to defend her self against the powers of the Q, when she is deffinetly not a Q herself. Giving the animosity that exists between her and Q it seems likely that at some point in the past Q was punished by the Continuum for harassing her, at which point they also taught guinin to defend herself against any further harassment by Q. other than these two discrepancies, Q who is a riveting episode, this is because it combines the two (seemingly)unbeatable enemies of Star Trek making for very good television as the Picard senior staff try to figure a way out of their situation, and are ultimately unsuccessful. The Enterprise’s inability to defeat the Borg, forces Picard to do something that he is very unaccustomed to doing, asking for help. Whole Q who may not be the best Borg episode ever made, it is still a throualy enjoyable, riveting episode, that combines two of the best enemies that have ever been seen in the history of Star Trek.
