This series of Star Trek Retrospectives chronicles the behind the scenes history of the Star Trek franchise. The conceptualisation and development of each new instalment and their impact on fandom as well as the pop culture at large.
Despite the lukewarm reception of Star Trek: Generations which united the crews from two time periods, the Star Trek franchise was still riding high. For the next big-screen Star Trek adventure, the team behind the eighth Star Trek film made sure to pull out all the stops…
With the return of one of The Federations most lethal enemies, the crew of the newly-commissioned USS Enterprise E must travel back in time to stop the Borg from assimilating Earth in the past.
Following the Battle of Sector 001, the crew of the Enterprise follow the Borg back to April 5th 2063 the day before “First Contact” where Zefram Cochrane and his companion Lilly Sloan are building Earths first warp-capable ship The Phoneix. As the Enterprise emerges the temporal vortex created by the Borg they quickly dispatch the Borg Sphere in orbit which was firing on the complex in Boseman Montana.
Scanning the surface, the crew discovers that the Borg were attempting to prevent the launch of the Phoneix, beaming down the crew get to work to make sure history isn’t changed and things pan out as planned. But things aren’t that simple, the Borg survived and have taken over the Enterprise, Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Cmdr. Data (Brent Spiner) battle the Borg Queen (Alice Krige) as she continues her task of assimilating Earth…
Star Trek: First Contact became a quick fan favourite and is widely regarded as one of the franchises best feature film outings and completely alters everything we knew about the Borg…
