        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
