I have never been able to conjure up the imagination need to square that one, the Borg last being in the Neutral Zone but, the Ent-D being sent into deep space to meet them. I assumed that maybe it was a scout sphere that ripped the colony, reunited in deep space with the Cube, then the Cube headed the Federations way afterwards.Coalition wrote: ↑Mon Aug 10, 2020 9:00 am I liked how they did the reverse-melting to make the regeneration.

For the episode itself, it was nicely terrifying.
As far as the Borg going to Earth, it could have been the Borg meeting the Enterprise-D deep in the galaxy, and wondering how the Ent-D got there. Since the stuff they picked up along the Neutral Zone didn't have the data, they decided to go to the Federation center to get that data.
I agree. Though I think it has to be bigger than a scout ship of whatever kind. I kinda think the cube that we saw in Q Who is a different cube from Best of Both Worlds. What if, the ship that was in the Neutral Zone carving up colonies is actually the Best of Both Worlds cube? That once it did its thing in the Neutral Zone it went off somewhere else. Maybe met up with another Borg ship to disperse the new Borg colonists they assimilated. Then they went back to attack the Federation since E-D made official contact with the Borg in Q Who.Nutso wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 1:13 amI have never been able to conjure up the imagination need to square that one, the Borg last being in the Neutral Zone but, the Ent-D being sent into deep space to meet them.

I can accept this. Even Borg Cubes need to offload cargo.McAvoy wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 3:01 amI agree. Though I think it has to be bigger than a scout ship of whatever kind.

Maybe not biggest threat but, biggest addition to the Collective, since the Federation is made up of so many different species and technologies compared to the Romulan Star Empire.Maybe the attack in the Neutral Zone was a way of gauging the Romulans and the Federation in some way. They found that the Federation through the colony and then the E-D as the biggest threat.
Maybe that insane "warp spin" technology gave the Borg heightened incentive to pursue the Federation. That tech moves faster than warp speed, it would be useful to the Collective so they hightailed it in a bee line to Earth. Thanks a lot Q!I'd always imagine the Borg being curious or even confused on how the E-D showed up and then left in Q Who. Like they had the Enterprise dead to rights in that episode, they were minutes away from getting their prize. Then the Enterprise somehow spins at super high speeds. Got to wonder what the Borg were thinking.
