Plot [edit]

Role i [edit]

The Starship Enterprise responds to a distress call from a Federation colony and arrives to find the colony gone. The Federation suspect the Borg—cybernetic humanoids that assimilate individuals into their hive mind.

Starfleet Admiral Hanson arrives on board the Enterprise with Lieutenant Commander Shelby, an practiced on the Borg, who assists the crew in determining the crusade of the colony's disappearance. Hanson informs Captain Picard that Commander Riker has been offered the command of the Starship Melbourne and suggests that Riker take the position, having turned information technology down twice previously. Although there is tension between Riker and the aggressive Shelby—who wants to take over his position of get-go officeholder—they ostend that the colony was assimilated by the Borg. Hanson advises Picard that some other Federation vessel encountered a strange "cube-like" vessel before sending a distress call that concluded abruptly. Enterprise moves to intercept and confronts a Borg cube.

The Borg demand that Picard give up himself, which he refuses. Although initially deterred past Enterprise 's shield modulation, the Borg lock the vessel in a tractor beam and begin cutting into the hull. Shelby suggests randomly irresolute the frequency of the ship's phasers to prevent the Borg from adapting to the assault, which frees the vessel. The Enterprise escapes to a nearby nebula, where Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge and Ensign Wesley Crusher adapt a technique suggested past Shelby to alter the deflector dish to burn down a massive free energy discharge capable of destroying the Borg cube. The Borg flush Enterprise from the nebula, board the ship, and abduct Picard. The Borg Cube moves at high warp speed towards Earth, with Enterprise in pursuit.

"I am Locutus of Borg. Resistance is futile.
Your life as information technology has been is over. From this time forward, you lot volition service... u.s.a.."

Locutus

Riker, now in command of the ship, prepares to join an away squad to transport to the cube to rescue Picard, but Advisor Troi reminds him his identify is now on the span. Shelby leads the abroad team onto the Borg cube, where they are ignored past the Borg drones. The team locate Picard's uniform and communicator and then destroy power nodes inside the cube, forcing it out of warp. As the team prepares to ship to Enterprise, they see an assimilated Picard. The Borg contact Enterprise, with Picard stating that he is "Locutus of Borg" and to set up for assimilation. Riker orders Worf to fire the deflector dish.

Part ii [edit]

The deflector dish discharge has no effect on the Borg cube; Locutus reveals that the Borg had prepared for the assail using Picard's cognition. The Borg cube continues at warp speed towards Earth, with the crippled Enterprise unable to follow. Upon reporting their failure to Hanson, Riker is promoted to captain and makes Shelby his beginning officer. The crew learns that a fleet of starships is massing at Wolf 359 to stop the Borg. Guinan suggests to Riker that he "allow go of Picard", since Picard'due south knowledge is beingness used to thwart Starfleet tactics, in order to defeat the Borg and possibly save Picard'due south life.

The Enterprise arrives at Wolf 359 to observe that Hanson has been killed and the fleet destroyed, including the Melbourne. Information technology and so follows the cube's warp trail to an intercept indicate and offers to negotiate with Locutus. The request is denied, only the communication reveals Locutus'due south location within the cube. The Enterprise and then separates into saucer and stardrive sections. Although Shelby suggested attacking with the stardrive department, Riker does the reverse and orders the saucer section to fire an antimatter spread nigh the cube, disrupting its sensors and allowing a shuttlecraft piloted by Lieutenant Commander Data and Lt. Worf to pass the Borg shields and beam aboard the Borg cube. They kidnap Locutus, although the Borg ignore this and continue to Earth.

Data and Dr. Crusher create a neural link with Locutus to gain access to the Borg's collective consciousness. Information attempts to use the link to disable the Borg's weapons and defensive systems, merely cannot, as they are protected by security protocols. Picard breaks free from Borg command and mutters, "sleep". Dr. Crusher comments that Picard must be wearied from this ordeal, however Data realizes that Picard is suggesting accessing the Borg regeneration subroutines, which are less protected than key systems similar weapons or power. Data issues a command to the Borg to enter sleep mode, causing their weapons and shields to deactivate. A feedback loop builds in the Borg cube, which destroys the vessel. Dr. Crusher and Information remove the Borg implants and augmentations from Picard.

The Enterprise is awaiting repairs at an orbital shipyard, and Riker, although offered control of his own ship, insists on remaining as get-go officeholder. Shelby is reassigned to a chore force defended to rebuilding the fleet. Picard recovers, but is still disturbed by his ordeal.

Product [edit]

Executive producer Michael Piller, was in accuse of the author's room and decided he wanted the series to accept some risks, and that the flavor would end on a cliffhanger, something Star Trek had not done before.[6] The producers also wanted a cliffhanger because of contract problems with diverse actors and incertitude over who would return.[seven] Although audiences may have seen it equally a Picard episode, Piller considered it to be a Riker-centric episode and he related the grapheme's quandary over whether or not to leave the Enterprise to his ain experiences as an executive producer on Star Trek. Piller felt ready to motion on rather than remain second in control, but he was persuaded to stay by Gene Roddenberry and Rick Berman.[seven]

Piller wrote "Office I" with no idea how "Part II" would stop, and said "nosotros're going to effigy information technology out next flavour." When production for season three began, there was an almost entirely new writing staff and they worked together in the author's room to interruption the story. Writer Ronald D. Moore felt that "Part II" had a piddling as well much technobabble, and was not as satisfying equally the first half.[6]

During the writing process on the episodes, Piller worked with Ronald D. Moore, who wrote the post-obit episode "Family". The two writers considered "Family" to exist the final installment of "The Best of Both Worlds" every bit a trilogy. Initially in that location was no plan to have an episode reflecting on the ongoing furnishings on Picard subsequently the traumatic events of the two-parter, just after Piller raised the issue with Roddenberry and Berman, it was agreed to be added as long as information technology included a science fiction story. Instead, Moore and Piller agreed to have three family stories independent in the episode which would resonate with each other.[7]

Makeup supervisor Michael Westmore said information technology took many makeup artists and a lot of time to create the Borg. At that time the procedure took at to the lowest degree iii hours to apply the makeup and costumes. They had information technology organized into a production line to arrive as fast as possible. He found that results were inconsistent as each makeup creative person used different techniques to shade the faces. This laborious process prompted Westmore to take an airbrush form, assuasive for more consistent results and after that he insisted that any makeup artist hired knew how to apply an airbrush.[vi] Alan Sims was in charge of props, and was particularly proud of the remote control Borg prosthetic artillery that he designed. He would stand up offscreen using the two joysticks flip back-and-along. The head mounted laser on Patrick Stewart'south costume was a $200 laser that Michael Westmore, Jr. had acquired and had not been used in television production before. At commencement information technology did non seem to be working but later the special effects guy added smoke to the scene the light stood out. They had Patrick try looking straight into the camera lens, not knowing how information technology would await. The resulting expect of the refraction betwixt the light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation and the mirrors in the photographic camera looked better than could take been achieved with an expensive optical effect in post production. Paramount and Rick Berman were suitably impressed "This is fantastic! Oh my god."[half-dozen]

The Borg cube was created by visual furnishings coordinator Gary Hutzel using parts from off-the-shelf model kits. The show was non using CGI and all the space transport models in the show had to be built. The budget was express and because they could non beget to have a model maker construct it for them Hutzel congenital information technology himself. He stapled chickenwire to a framework and and so stuck boards covered in the diverse $.25 to it. For the climactic explosion in "Part 2" a pyrotechnician rigged the cube with primer cord. The stage was cleared before detonation but information technology exploded like a grenade and shards were embedded in the stage walls. Visual furnishings coordinator Judy Elkins suggested using toys and model kits to expand the fleet, and they invited diverse people from the fine art department and other people on the show for a kit fustigate. They were allowed to modify the ships still they wanted and requite the ships their own names. Hutzel said "We were able to get quite a few ships fabricated that way with pretty minimal effort and coin. I rigged them all with internal lighting to make them expect like they are on fire and we shot them that style. The toy company gave them to the states for gratuitous."[6]
