Thu Feb 20, 2003 11:26 am Major Enterprise news, upcoming ep 'Regeneration' SPOILERS!! |
|
The borg have arrived on Enterprise !!, the following is an article on trektoday website I just posted it here so its easier to read
--------------------------------------
The episode opens at the Arctic Circle, Earth. Three humans - Doctor Moninger, Rooney, and Drake - are crossing the glacial terrain. They encounter a jagged hull fragment, "twenty or thirty feet high," which the script identifies as a "Borg Sphere that crashed in the Arctic Circle almost a century ago." As they examine the fragments of the Borg ship, Rooney uncovers a Borg drone frozen in the ice. "We'd better call Starfleet," Drake says, and the screen fades to black.
Act One begins with the researchers examining two Borg drones they have recovered from the debris. Doctor Moninger has discovered that the two drones are not of the same species, which puzzles him. Meanwhile, Rooney, who has been conducting a metallurgical analysis, has found out that the debris has lain in the Arctic circle for one hundred years. "If their ship hadn't been destroyed, our First Contact might've been with these people," Drake muses.
We catch up with the threesome again a few hours later. Doctor Moninger has discovered that the Borg are being repaired and regenerated by their nanoprobes. Drake comments that the Denobulans have experimented with nanotechnology, but not to this extent. Later, Drake and Rooney make another significant discovery while out in the field - a Borg Warp Coil.
Back at the lab, Doctor Moninger is astonished as the Borg drone comes to life before his very eyes. He attempts to make contact with the drone, when the scene suddenly switches back to Drake and Rooney exploring the debris. They hear a weapons blast coming from the lab, and they rush back, only to discover a massive hole in the wall, and Doctor Moninger lying on the floor, slowly being assimilated. As Drake tries to help the doctor, who is still alive, the Borg drone reappears, and grabs Rooney!
After this, the scene moves to Starfleet Command, with Commander Williams telling Admiral Forrest they've lost contact with the excavation team. Forrest orders Williams to ready a fully-armed shuttle.
Detailed plot information ends at that point, but according to the script excerpts, the NX-01 will encounter a Borgified transport later in the episode.
Please note that this information has not yet been confirmed by Paramount Pictures and until such time you should treat this as you would any other rumour.
'Regeneration' will likely air in May, 2003

man this means that they have finally realised that Enterprises ratings suck and they always use the borg to try and increase ratings, I can't wait to find out how many timeline errors they are going to make with this one!

Timeline errors are irrelevent. If the show is good it shouldn't matter.

I knew at some point that the First Contact story and circumstance would come into play. Hopefully it is done well enough to protect the timeline we now have on Trek. They've held up alright so far. Ep looks good, anyway. Could become the season 2 cliffhanger.

Forget the timeline a moment and simply bask in the coolness of a Borg episode.

^IMO the Borg have outlived their coolness.
They ceased being cool the moment a cube was actually able to be threatened by a single starship.

Where do you think that Borg Sphere wreckege went? It's reasonable to assume it fell to the Earth's surface.

^Its more reasonable to assume it burnt up in the atmosphere, or was collected by the E-E. The chances that a significant amount of it could reach Earth's surface intact are rather slim.

Isn't there a B(y)org connection with Vger?

Possibly. It's a semi-common conjecture that the Borg were the ones who modified Vger, but it's never been proven.

Its a shame that enterprise is not working. In england they say, if Season 2 isnt good enough they wont air any of the following seasons. Oh well theres always Startrek Titan to look forward to. if that will go ahead. Hopefully.

BORG??? What's next-Q? Kazon? Species 8472??? (Which would not only alter time, but space as well, but what's the difference?)
Now the timeline is officially worthless. Oh, well. Should be interesting, anyhow.
I still think that ENT could make a comeback if the next season is better. I keep thinking that people said that TNG wasn't good the first couple seasons and it did great. Maybe there's hope. Especially if they go and put Archer together with T'Pol.

I think that perhaps the Borg have been used one time too much already...the eerieness has worn off now. Still it sounds like a pretty good episode. Are they really thinking of not showing Enterprise future seasons in the UK? I like Enterprise
