Regenration is sure an interesting topic to tread around.
From what we saw in First Contact, the U.S.S. Enterprise-E totally decimated the sphere with a barrage of quantum torpedoes, and yet in Regeneration, we see some fairly large chunks sitting in the polar region. Also, they drones were not well buried. One was under a little ice, while the other rescued drone was under an inch or two of snow. Frankly, they had over a century to get well-covered. Shouldn't the research team had to dig a lot more to uncover those bodies.
From one point of the view, the research was interesting, because they were speculating without any real referrences on hand.
Example #1: The one researcher commented that she found anti-matter residue along a hull fragment. She believed it was due to an engine problem. Actually, it was a result of the Quantum Torpedoes which slammed into the Sphere. At the time, they did not have anti-matter weapons, so that argument was not brought up.
Example #2: The Transwarp coil. From those of us who have watched VOY: Dark Frontier enough times, those coils are fairly small. The research found a damaged one, and speculated it was their main warp core, but later commented it was way too small to power a ship they were using.
Example #3: From dead to recovered, the drones underwent a massive regeneration period. The researchers commented on Nanotechnology and the artificial prosthesis, while making referrences to what they already knew in their present time. (But they should have listened to the guy and kept them in ice... )
From there it degenerated into a mostly-action, lacking concept episode, although it did have a couple of merits.
- Archer actually felt he could rescue the assimilated personnel and take them back home.
- They did try to make a complete cycle of how the borg learned of Earth in the first place, commenting on the spatial co-ordinates transmitted to the Delta Quadrant.
However, there were problems...
- Phlox was bad at trying to seem like he was being assimilated. Didn't the process normally take a couple minutes, not hours after hours? I mean, what the heck was taking so long? And no, I don't buy the immune system concept which Phlox argued.[/list]
- The battle between the borg and the Enterprise felt way too predictable... Also, why were the drones who transported onboard going around chasing crewman? Why didn't they just do their job and start assimilating the ship, like the two Tarkarians tried to?
And my big problem... BORG in Enterprise...

then again when picard met the borg in TNG, they hadn't gone back in time to keep 1st Contact so thet wouldn't have known about it then, but when they had we haven't seen any new TOS, TNG, DS9 or STV since Enterprise was made and only the latter 2 were made after first contact. THIS IS TERRIBLY CONFUSING I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch ST: VIII "First Contact" and you will understand. in that film they slightly altered the timeline. So now there we are seeing the altered timeline (ENTERPRISE) and also in voyager you see that the hansons set off to investigate the borg 10 years before the enterprise encountered them. But at that time the borg were purly speculation, a myth. and the hansons were assimilated so the human race just thought that they were lost in the delta quadrant, but they were actually assimilated.
