I just heard from a friend that "Enterprise" has featured the borg in it, is this true?

IT HAS. The episode is called "Regeneration."

Yepp. "Regeneration" was the name of the episode.

The idea of the Borg on ENt isnt all that ridiculous, but it still shouldnt have happened.

ENT must stand on its own 2 feet in order to survive.

They handled them well enough. It could've been worse, much worse.

What, might I ask, happened in the episode?

It filled in a couple questions left from the TNG Q-Who episode and explains further questions raised in Voyager. This ENT episode actualy fit into the continuity perfectly and explained things we know happened later.

You can download the episode from somewhere like KaZaA.

Yeah, fit with continuuty. Giant chunks of the Borg Sphere survived along with drones and were ignored by everyone, including the E-E.

That's my criticism of it, also. The section of the sphere we saw was sticking a hundred feet in the air out of the ice, and was recognisable as a partial sphere.

The E-E had terrible sensors at that time. They didn't even detect the Sphere until it was spotted on the viewer itself. The ship was then being taken over by the Borg and its entirely possible that the crew never had a chance to make a proper sensor sweep. Once the Vulcans showed up they had to be even more careful.

Point to the Ambassador

However:
Why didn't the Vulcan's detect it the crashed sphere?

Where the drone's 'offline'?

Why didn't those drone's later try to assimilate Earth? With E-E gone, Earth would have been a rip target for even 1 drone near a small town...

Maybe not. According to Enterprise, many of those peaceful townspeople are armed with plasma shot-guns, and such.

Actually, you could probably make a really good spoof of "Night of the Living Dead" by using Borg drones in the place of zombies.

I had a nightmare last night the Borg were attacking Earth. Even with all my SD.net Borg knowledge, it was still pretty fucking scary, especially when they came into my house.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!! AN ENTERPRISE EPISODE WITH CONTINUITY!!!!

I had to have problems somewhere. I bet that the crew learned all about the Borg, and how to stop them, and told Starfleet command and what not.

And then, over the next century, everyone forgot about them.

According to Bitch & Bastard anyway.

Or just read the review on EAS. That's how I keep track with ENT...

True, but in a review, you don't get to see Archer kill a Borg drone by tearing the cables out of it's head. I think it's about time someone had the common sense to try that, and I think it's worth seeing.

I thought it was funny how Archer said that the Borg "adapted" when their phase pistols stopped working against them. They adapted, eh? That is a pretty astute observation, Archer. He could have looked surprised, tried again and said, "it appears that they have erected some sort of force field" Instead, he just said they "adapted." OK...

Also, the Borg did not introduce themselves. They just said, "resistance is futile, you will be assimilated." Why didn't they introduce themselves? They had no reason to conceal their identities. The only reason is because the Borg should NOT be in the Enterprise timeline, and the writers needed to cover their stupid idea to put them there.

And just for the record, I don't think this episode fit in with Star Trek continuity at all. The only way we can reconcile this notion is to consider that Enterprise takes place on a different timeline. Since the Borg sphere wreckage was recovered, we have to assume that history has/is changing from the normal Trek timeline.

There is no continuity at all with the Borg. Consider when we first saw them in "Q Who." They might as well be a totally different race. Thanks to the idea of a Queen, Voyager's pussification of them, and now Borg in the 22nd century, we might as well just have Archer go to the Delta quandrant and kill all of them. :roll:

B&B didn't write this episode. Furthermore this episode explains why the Hansons had UFP authorization to search for the Borg and the E-D didn't know of the Borg. The information on the subject was highly classified.
