I just love how the security personnel were smart about maintaining distance. Can’t say the same about future Starfleet members.

Always cracks me up how, after transporting, they check themselves out to make sure all their molecules were put back together correctly.

This was an underrated episode. The Borg is the most terrifying enemy in Star Trek. I always thought the way they included them in Archer's time was creative, having them get revived from the remnants after their fight with Picard and the Enterprise-E. Archer and his crew had no idea how close they were to getting assimilated.

The best thing about this writing is that the fact the audience knows the full scale of the borg threat and the crew don’t is really emphasised and built around. It makes archers actions believable and tense without needing the threat to be explained

I love the ruthlessness and logic of the Vulcans - I am saying that you should DESTROY it.
Simple solution, no messing
This was the reason why even the Klingons respected the Vulcans....

This is one of the best Borg episodes, it made them legitimately scary again. The music was top notch and the visuals amazing. I loved how we got to see that arctic transport go from normal ship to fully assimilated throughout the course of the episode.

This episode was good because it tied it all together and once again showed Q as a hero, The borg was coming because of the message this ship sent and Q threw the enterprise in front of it making the federation aware of them, of course, Q had to disguise it as one of his "games" but he saved humanity.

Those Borg started out from the year 2373, got sent to 2063, and got revived here 90 years later in 2153 if I recall, correctly. It's like seeing Nibbler's shadow in the pilot of Futurama.

I love this depiction of the Borg cuz it actually shows technology being assimilated, seeing the Borg tech spread through and on that earth vessel like a metastasis was so cool

[alezandercorben]

Best Enterprise episode, just love how the first contact film had another effect on the past.

[FullPlaythroughs]

I love this episode simply because of the clever writing and how they avoided any kind of time travel paradox by making it predestination. In First Contact, Captain Picard and the Enterprise-E destroys a Borg sphere when it travels back in time to the Earth of 2063, that wreckage crashes and remains hidden for almost 100 years until scientists find it and unintentionally wake up the Borg, causing these events to happen, then by the end of the episode these Borg manage to send out a signal to the Delta quadrant which will take hundreds of years to arrive, eventually causing the events of the future to happen, which then causes these events to happen again, a perfect loop with no continuity ruined.

Clever inclusion of the Borg in the Enterprise series. An especially nice touch was how after the transport ship had been sufficiently assimilated it had that distinctive “hum” of a Borg cube.

[MLPDethDealr]

Rewatching this Episode i came to a realization. Any longer and that ship would have become a new Fully functioning BORG CUBE. You can see the edge of it being formed on the left side. As it increased in mass, it would have become harder to hit that EPS relay Archer was going to target.

This does explain why the Borg were so adamant to assimilate humans by Picard's time. It wasn't just because of the technology and knowledge: it was because of their adaptability. This whole episode showed the Borg the human's threat level towards them.

[larnregis]

This was a great episode. It showed how advanced the Borg are, when they MacGuyvered the non-warp capable science vessel to match even the enterprise max speed in such a short time.
My only complaint is, that the Borg always seek the superior tech, so instead of beaming back to their inferior ship, they instead would've boarded and assimilated Enterprise. They were even immune to hand phasers by now and could've taken over the ship without any losses.

[warrenreid]

This is why I loved enterprise. I wish that they could come back for just one more season and fight the romulan empire.

[lukegauci]

Can we just appreciate the fact that the Drones didn’t say they were Borg, cause they knew it would mess up the timeline.
They went on trying to assimilate, but they knew that the term ‘Borg’ had to be heard for the first time when the Enterprise D see that Cube in the far limits of the Beta Quadrant after Q sent them there and Ginun explains what they are.

[rooshadjoshi]

It's amazing how fast captain Archer 'adapts' to the new threat. From trying to save researchers to concluding there's no one to save.

[Spookssga]

I’m glad they made a episode with the Borg. 1 I can’t get enough of them, and 2 the episode wraps up what happened to the remains of their ship and also we get to find out how they know where to find Earth
