As a cultural touchstone, TNG and, in particular this episode, were THE water cooler talk at my office during the original run. "Resistance is futile" is still one of my favorite sayings. I was in my twenties when it first aired; now in my early sixties, I feel sad when younger generations don't understand favorite paraphrases such as, "They were Borg'd." And I do say things like that. Everyone should "engage" in this series, second in importance only to the original series. Both series were helmed by the visionary Gene Rodenberry. Science fiction is not my preferred entertainment genre, but this series and this episode are so worthy!
