Community RoomWatch the Federation's best face off against the Borg in classic episodes from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Star Trek: Voyager."
Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) by CBS (PG): "A new crew boards a revamped USS Enterprise in the first spin-off from the '60s cult classic. Set some 70 years after the Capt. Kirk era, the syndicated sequel follows the seven-year trek of Capt. Jean-Luc Picard and his colorful subordinates (including a Klingon!) as they encounter new life forms and foes, including the Borg, Q and the Ferengi. Picard and his sidekicks would continue their voyages in a series of theatrical films." - SWANK Motion Pictures, Inc.
Star Trek: First Contact (1996) by Paramount Pictures (PG-13): "Captain Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise travel through time to 21st-century Earth to face down a deadly threat from the ominous Borg collective and protect the experimental voyage of the first Warp Drive craft in this exciting science-fiction drama." - SWANK Motion Pictures, Inc
Star Trek: Voyager (1997) by CBS (PG): "A starship is stranded in the uncharted Delta Quadrant in this fourth 'Star Trek' series, the first to feature a female captain. Here, the crew grudgingly teams with Maquis rebels to try to return to Earth after Voyager is hurtled 70,000 light-years from Federation space. The show's two-hour premiere coincided with the UPN network's launch. Genevieve Bujold was originally cast as Janeway, but was replaced by Kate Mulgrew after only a few days of filming." - SWANK Motion Pictures, Inc.
