          Easily my favorite episode. The visual and written humor lays out both how insane the Borg challenge is while simultaneously illustrating Boimler’s Kirk-level talent for defeating impossible odds. Scoring 100% seems to require no less than:

          • Transport onto a Borg cube armed with nothing but a phaser
          • Teach the Borg queen empathy
          • Defeat the Borg queen at chess
          • Capture five Borg prisoners
          • Rescue ten Borg babies
          • Set the cube for self destruct
          • Establish subspace comms to schedule rendezvous with Starfleet
          • Steal an escape pod and escape the doomed cube
