    Their character design made me want to break off a bit and smoke myself stupid.

    The concept of the floating “Gilligan’s Island” presented a lot of writing challenges. How can you promote any consistency in antagonists if you’re expected to traverse over 70,000 light years?

    The Borg were already established as a tried and true villain, so having one on their side presented a lot of creative opportunities. The bonus meme was mostly just a useful opportunity for another laugh. They became the big boogeyman for the remainder of the series and that’s ok by me.
