ENT - Regeneration

Regeneration is inherently flawed, because it is an Enterprise episode that revolves around the Borg. Although it has an interesting premise, the discovery of the Borg sphere that Picard shot down in First Contact, the fact remains that the existence of the Borg was not known to humanity until the 24th century when Q flung the Enterprise D into system J-25. And if my math is correct this episode took place over 200 years before that happened. How do the writers get around this? They simply omit the word Borg from the episode. This is incredibly cheap and doesn’t fix the problem. This incident was no doubt the subject of multiple logs and records in Star Fleet, which were available in Picard’s time. And since Picard and company were not stupid, it stands to reason that they would have put two and two together, and figured out that these creatures had been encountered before, but the writers apparently didn’t take this into account before writing this episode. Also, since Phlox was partially assimilated and was in contact with the collective, it seems very weird to me that he would not have learned their name, which brings me to another point, the time it takes for something to be assimilated in this episode is much, much slower than in previous shows. Since these are Borg from the same era as those shows, then why does it take their nanoprobes so much longer to assimilate people? The episode itself is not very good either, as far a Borg episodes go. If they had to make a Borg episode in Enterprise they could have at least made it a good one!
