The real reason why Doctor Crusher was included in the away team that attempts to retrieve Picard from the Borg was that actress Gates McFadden had mentioned to Piller that she thought it would be fun to fire a phaser, as her character of Dr. Crusher wasn’t usually provided with the opportunity for much phaser action during the series. Piller was happy to accommodate the actress’ request.
Shelby is one of the few red shirt women in TNG…
“Look at this. This is extraordinary.”
What’s up with that? Just with a glance, Beverly can tell that that’s significant, and not just a ceiling lamp?
So much for “First, do no harm”. :rolleyes:
“Wolf 359”
No… Sisko’s wife!
Now they just look at an X-shaped duct tape, then the CGI crew go to work.
Wolf 359 is an actual star that exists in reality. An extremely faint red dwarf, the real Wolf 359 is approximately 7.8 light years from Earth, the fifth nearest star to our sun.
Good idea. Poke the hornet’s nest with a stick.
Why did they stop coming at them?
“He is a Borg.”
Awww, poor Worf.
“From this time forward, you will service us.”
Hence, the bondage gear. 
Black is slimming on him.

“Mr. Worf. Fire.”
Chilling.
Frakkin OSSIM!!
After the episode’s airing, rumors circulated among fans that Patrick Stewart’s contract talks with Paramount had stalled, and that Picard would be killed off, with Riker becoming Captain while Shelby would become his first officer.
Prolly an old question, but how does this stay on youtube without Paramount coming down on the uploader?
Confirmation on just part 1 again?
doesn’t wanna wait
I remember seeing that on the cover of the Enquirer (or one of the other rags at the checkout).
While the Borg will later prove to have typically unimaginative naming conventions (i.e. Third of Five, Seven of Nine, etc.), the name chosen for Picard’s alter-ego is quite appropriate. His function is to speak for the Borg, and “Locutus” is Latin for “he who has spoken.”
