A Truly Formidable Villain: The Borg are presented at their

to the Federation, and their power feels genuinely overwhelming.

I disagree with the AI. The borg were already pretty well defanged by
this point. Of course Picard would be okay and the Federation would win.

Originally, the Borg were an *undefeatable* villain. The whole point of
them was that the Federation was nowhere near ready and there was just >nothing we could do.

Spin on a few years, and humanity is just so darn feisty that the Borg
are making a special case of humans and Earth. This is dumb, and it also >completely hollows and guts the whole point of the Borg.

The Borg lost their character once the Queen was introduced.

Yeah, I agree. I felt like some writer thought: "Hive mind means
insects, and insect hives have queens." The all-assimilating collective
was cooler.
