This was one of the better borg battles on Voyager....the borg were not made to look like weaklings here. Even a 29th Century Borg could not defeat a sphere with the technology aboard Voyager, he had to destroy it from within. These types of battles against the borg were something Voyager lacked through its entire run...the only other great battle in my opinion was at the end of the season 6 episode, Childs Play.
The thing is, the emitter was 29th Century FEDERATION technology. While it is possible that the Federation may have discovered things useful for fighting the Borg by then, it is not automatically more advanced than 24th-Century Borg. The Borg, as originally conceived were WAY ahead of the Federation by the time Q threw the Enterprise-D into their path. I have a similar complaint about the Vaadwaur acting like they were behind the times when dealing with Voyager's technology because of their 900-year suspended animation sleep. Nine hundred years prior, the Vaadwaur were navigating subspace corridors. Meanwhile, on Earth, Europeans don't know there are two more continents on the othe side of the Atlantic.
if a race like the borg really existed this would be the outcome rember they are made up of thousands of different alien races many of witch would not have been allies so they would have access to tec others even if the drone had been on a more advanced ship chances are he wouldn't have done much better sense his tec would come from one source the federation based on groups who share the same core ideals
1:46 Borg be like: 'Nice try, bitches. When we say resistance is futile, we fucking mean it!' And yes, I know One kicked their asses anyway, but still...
If the Borg hails, why open a channel? You always know they say "We are the Borg, resistance is futile". When encountering the Borg, always fire first, ask later.
Standard procedure of a borg vessel. Attempt an easy victory by stating intentions, confirm threat. Assume battle forfeit until resistance. Prove futility. #borgwins
It's not like he's ACTUALLY a borg plucked from the 29th century, it's merely learned from what little 29th century tech the emitter had, and extrapolated improvements to the existing borg "DNA" And janeway had years to design and plan how to defeat borg, he had a few seconds to jack in (R2D2 Style lol) and make an on the fly improvement. Janeway should have said "How would YOU defeat them" rather than merely saying "give me bigger lazer beamz pew pew"
He beams over to the Borg and they try and stop him. He simply tells them they will fail and guides the Borg ship into a pulsar and it crushes the ship but he survives by erecting a force field around him while Voyager retrieves him only to not allow the doctor to save him from his injuries. He states, I'm an accident and should not have been created and that voyager is in danger as long as he is alive because the Borg know he exist.
which is total bs as his technology could make voyager the most powerful ship in the galaxy but that would be too op for the show so the killed him off.
Frosch Reiniger He let himself die so the Borg would not pursue Voyager and the crew. He was basically like a homing beacon for them. What's more, he came to be from future technology, so if the Borg got ahold of him and assimilated that advanced technology, they'd become a more powerful and unstoppable force than ever before.
People say this is "ripped off" from the TNG episodes "The Child" and "I Borg". There are similarities, but I think this episode is far superior to both. Sure, TNG was a better show overall, but this is one of Voyager's finest episodes: Everything is superb: story, script, performances, costume, set design, special effects. It's like a mini movie.
@@myssmeow001 Depends, should a society have the means to reproduce said technology and understand it, it would be super helpful, but should they not? It will do more harm, to a point that a religion might even center around said technology, or they might base all their resources around protecting it, similar to how a nation might protect a single individual who without them they will fall into chaos, or a "holy relic" which they use to determine the future. Worst case scenario is if they gain the technology that just so happens to do everything for them, including self replication, and let said technology do everything for them while they relax in comfort, losing any drive to improve, eventually going into a state of evolutionary regression, losing natural muscle mass, bone density, thought capacity, to a point that they might as well be single cell organism, being fed by machines. Best case scenario, the technology is capable of leaping a civilization into a space age but still requiring them to do things themselves (example, no AI or automatic devices can be produced from said technology), and due to the nature of said technology, possibly a "miracle material", their bodies go into a state of forced evolution, improving the body and mind.
Just by plugging himself into a console he could only enhance the software, to enhance further would require physically refitting the systems in question.
To be honest he was made with nanoprobes from the current time line mixed with technology from the past that was developed using technology from the future. Actually his most advanced technology was made in the 90's. :D
Yes, but to be fair, we don't know the mobile emitter was made by Starling in the way you describe or if he had one replicated from the Aeon timeship he had in his possession directly. Its unlikely that Starling could make a mobile emitter like that. He had emitters in his office, which were probably a mixture of late 20th and 29th century technology his company made which would at some point reach the market. But the mobile emitter he gave the Doctor was likely replicated by the Aeon timeship directly... which would probably have highly advanced 29th century technology Federation technology with some aspects of temporal tech (which SF used in almost every technology in that time). So the nanoprobes would have extrapolated from the advanced hardware and programming in the emitter to produce a highly versatile and more advanced version of a Borg drone than even the Borg themselves could do. Unless the nanoprobes also used adaptive algorithms to do automated R&D to extrapolate how technology could evolve over the centuries... and if they did that, then it would be a possible look at what 29th century Borg would be like (but not an exact match because its an extrapolation).
One A.K.A Future Robocop. One reminds me of Robocop. They should have kept him on the show. He can be one of Tuvak's scarcity officer and run around the ship with a phaser and saying, "Drop it. Dead or alive. you're coming with me." After he takes down a bad guy, he spins the phaser around his finger and puts it away in his leg.
"There is a borg vessel. We are being hailed". Yea.. sure. It's like getting the same spam call over and over again. And they still pick up the phone although they already know its the same old spam.
I like how in Voyager they never need a shipyard or supplies to repair or improve the ship. They just press a button. This reaches its ultimate point in Endgame when they do massive upgrades in like 3 days with nothing but what they have on board. The writers completely lost track of the "We're a lost vessel with very few resources" early on in the series.
If memory serves the vessel was designed to go deespace and be able to gather resources and process them on-board and they often used their advanced tech to trade up in resources. If they had to explain this every time it happened it would be annoying. And they had a lot of those episodes.
@@RELLIKPIR I don’t recall that ever being mentioned. They agonize over being short on resources but then they have an unlimited amount of photon torpedoes, shuttles, etc.
@@WUZLE replicator kinda cheating bro. There is a reason it was often a point of contention in negotiations due to the ability to produce weapons and such

There are a handful of episodes where maintenance that would be routine with access to a Starbase have to be done another way. In Nightingale Voyager actually landed on a planet to remove and service the warp coils because somehow that was easier than doing it in orbit.
A borg called Hugh, a borg called 7, a borg called One. I'd imagine a writers' meeting like this: "We're going to do something surprising." "A new alien with new forehead wrinkles?" "No, a borg that has some reference to individualism."
+coldfusionwaffles - I didn't care much for it either, Except for the amusing fact that Seven was his *father* And that The Future drone had a total of *three* parents. I wonder how the security guard felt about all this? He wasn't in the rest of the episode.
People seem to ignore this episode when VOY again encounters the Borg in the future. While accurate the Borg were able to invert the phaser beam quickly here (a bit conveniently fast, even for the Borg), the crew did have time before engaging the Tactical Cube in Unimatrix zero to preven this problem from happening again (and also the ship got tactical updates from Starfleet via Pathfinder in Season 6 a few episodes before Unimatrix Zero).
HELL to the NAW! Voyager utterly pussified the Borf. With TNG they were THE unstoppable enemy that actually had the firepower the destroy the federation outright. Something no other previous enemy had. The Borg now talk and make nice. Pathetic.
Even with the exposure to 29th century technology from the Doctor's emitter, the nanoprobes are still 24th century and are interacting with 24th century technology... expecting to get 29th century results would be like loading Windows 7 onto an old Atari i suspect. also, i presume future Janeway researched and chose technology to bring that she thought could be compatible with Voyager's systems.
The nanoprobes would have upgraded too, to the 29th century technology. Or atleast closer. If the nanoprobes were not upgradable then the borg would also be using the nano probes from the start of their "civilization".
+bg20132014 I love that scene. "We are the BORG..." "My technology is *superior*, break off your attack..." Later on as ONE is taking the sphere into the region of space to crush the BORG it seems they reach out with one final request/plea since they cannot physically stop him, "Terminate your interface" or in English "STOP!!! PLEASE!!!"
Nanoprobes work wonders very quickly... but One had limited time here to enhance the systems... about a minute or so. I'm sure the crew tried to expand on this after this episode.
@@deksroning125 No, I meant if the character had stayed. But this is impossible otherwise Voyager would have become out of balance with Borg technologies of another century. Of course, it was limited, not only by the time but also by the technological features of Voyager itself.
"They're hailing us!" "Open a channel" *da-dum* *da-du-du-du-dum* Never gonna' give you up! Never gonna' let you down! Never gonna run around and desert you!
The voyager technology was later used to enhance star fleet when the borg almost destroyed the alpha quadrant in the books. Mostly torpedo upgrades, and amour enchantments
Yea, I agree. What does Janeway hope to accomplish in that? What, does she expect a "hello, just dropping by. Thought you might want to come chill with us. Or at least take a tea break from your long trip home."
It's amazing how a Borg drone with -29th century technology- can't enhance Voyager's defensive/offensive systems... but the 25th century Admiral Kathryn Janeway was able to use -25th century technology- to not only enhance Voyager, but to severely cripple the entire collective..... in a single episode (the finale).
One had only access to the software for a short amount of time. Janeway thought about enhancing the hardware for a long time and had way more time to deploy it. Thats like trying to make an old computer faster by installing an updated operating system vs installing whole new parts ;)
I truly HATE to nitpick someone who was so generous as to upload this, but the sphere in question was actually from the 24th century -- 2375ish or so at a guess.
I gave up trying to figure out that... I just assume the script looks like a madlib sheet and they roll special technobabble dice to fill in the blanks.
Funny how the ship's systems can be manipulated simply by driving two little leads straight into the face of a control panel (somehow without breaking it).
By the end of voyager it was more like "we are the borg, oops sorry wrong vessel please accept our apologies for the inconvenience of having to stop and destroy another few thousand drones."
maybe cause future janeway was especially planning on upgrading the voyager, also having in mind, the technologie would be far more compatible, compared to 400 years older tech. like, try listening to venylplates with your aux cable
An option that they probably didn't consider would've been that "One" could've tapped into the transporter/replicator systems and upgraded them to work faster and to perform more-complex replications, such as replicating armor on the outside of the ship in a matter of seconds... He could've also re-programmed the phaser systems to fire in pulses (like the USS Defiant) instead of just a single beam... but not just "pulses"... but each "pulse" would have its own randomized calibration! HAHAHA!
"Open a channel." - Like they don't know what the Borg are going to say. xD

I wonder how the security guard felt about all this? He wasn't in the rest of the episode.
*****- yes, she was . . . BUT, by any technical or biological definition she *was* the "father".
Mind blowing, isn't it?
+Jamie Smith
'we are the cooperative'
'resistance is not futile'
'we will aid if necessery'
'And i thought enterprise was a terrible show'.
Well, Seven is an individual though.
"Bajoran noses are ribbed for your pleasure" - a joke I overheard outside the shipyard at Earth Space Dock.
People seem to ignore this episode when VOY again encounters the Borg in the future.
While accurate the Borg were able to invert the phaser beam quickly here (a bit conveniently fast, even for the Borg), the crew did have time before engaging the Tactical Cube in Unimatrix zero to preven this problem from happening again (and also the ship got tactical updates from Starfleet via Pathfinder in Season 6 a few episodes before Unimatrix Zero).
I like him, hope nothing bad happens.
"We are the Borg". Answer,Yeah we are species 8472.
Not a good idea. The Borg straight up destroy 8472, since assimliation isn't an option.
I hear them all the time
it would be great to watch this on HD
Yes! Sadly I do not think that will happen unless special effects costs come down.. everything was rendered on the cheap unfortunately ..
Funny how good borg drones always look less scary.
HELL to the NAW! Voyager utterly pussified the Borf. With TNG they were THE unstoppable enemy that actually had the firepower the destroy the federation outright. Something no other previous enemy had. The Borg now talk and make nice. Pathetic.
I love that "They are hailing us" "Open a channel".... as if they have no idea what the Borg have to say or something
"Your technology is limited I cannot enhance it further..."
Rick Berman....Hold my beer.
The inspiration for my nickname as a kid when the episode came. One of One. aka One Drone
After that pullout at the end, I half expect him to go out for milk and cigarettes and never return
He enchanced Voyager's shields and phasers and they never talked about his modifications again. It's like they just forgot about it
The Voyager is way better when it is overclocked.
0:52 - that oh shit moment where Janeway and Chakotay think they're about to lose both Seven and One
Open a channel
Borg: we were trying to reach you about your extended warranty
Even with the exposure to 29th century technology from the Doctor's emitter, the nanoprobes are still 24th century and are interacting with 24th century technology... expecting to get 29th century results would be like loading Windows 7 onto an old Atari i suspect.
also, i presume future Janeway researched and chose technology to bring that she thought could be compatible with Voyager's systems.
The nanoprobes would have upgraded too, to the 29th century technology. Or atleast closer.
If the nanoprobes were not upgradable then the borg would also be using the nano probes from the start of their "civilization".
Wait! I wasn’t done watching this scene! Press play again!!
"This is the Borg, we are contacting you regarding your car's extended warranty"
"FIRE!"
One of the Top 10 Best Voyager Episodes!
Shattered was the best, IMO. They put Jeri back into full Borg form, and had her march out of the temporal barrier to strangle Seska like Darth Vader.
@2:01 But i can go over to the sphere and clean house if you want.
+bg20132014 I love that scene. "We are the BORG..." "My technology is *superior*, break off your attack..."
Later on as ONE is taking the sphere into the region of space to crush the BORG it seems they reach out with one final request/plea since they cannot physically stop him, "Terminate your interface" or in English "STOP!!! PLEASE!!!"
+bg20132014 After what we heard in this clip, he actually said "I must interface with the Collective. I can disrupt their vessel from within."
Bert Visscher
It's actually in the rest of the scene...which you don't see here.
the best borg ever.
I can’t even imagine how Voyager could be update.
Nanoprobes work wonders very quickly... but One had limited time here to enhance the systems... about a minute or so.
I'm sure the crew tried to expand on this after this episode.
@@deksroning125 No, I meant if the character had stayed. But this is impossible otherwise Voyager would have become out of balance with Borg technologies of another century.
Of course, it was limited, not only by the time but also by the technological features of Voyager itself.
Ok im a nerd. Admiral Kathryn Janeway had days to retrofit the outer hull and install and train new personnel. One only had minutes.
7 of 9 needs no enhancement.... Giggity.
Her actress however had two large enhancements. Not that I'm complaining.
"They're hailing us!"
"Open a channel"
*da-dum* *da-du-du-du-dum*
Never gonna' give you up! Never gonna' let you down! Never gonna run around and desert you!
One: you may fire. Borg: hell you one!
Basically the Borg drone is telling Janeway, "YOU'RE FUCKED".
Voyager was just too cool, second only to TNG
Meh. DS9, TNG, TOS, then VOY
Joshua Bonner Now that I’m older I more closely agree. TNG/DS9 are neck and neck.
He makes a good Vulcan too
"Instead of enhancing our phasers, can we just get the hell out of here now that we're free?"
The voyager technology was later used to enhance star fleet when the borg almost destroyed the alpha quadrant in the books. Mostly torpedo upgrades, and amour enchantments
Which has nothing to do with this episode
"I can hear them in my mind."
"Well the rest of us heard it over the intercom."
Tech support trying to help me upgrade my software: “Your technology is limited. I cannot enhance it further.”
But now we know this episode and this 29th century Borg drone would never exist. Borg were destroyed by early 25th century in ST Picard.
Yea, I agree. What does Janeway hope to accomplish in that? What, does she expect a "hello, just dropping by. Thought you might want to come chill with us. Or at least take a tea break from your long trip home."
Season 5, episode 2 "Drone".
It's amazing how a Borg drone with -29th century technology- can't enhance Voyager's defensive/offensive systems... but the 25th century Admiral Kathryn Janeway was able to use -25th century technology- to not only enhance Voyager, but to severely cripple the entire collective..... in a single episode (the finale).
One had only access to the software for a short amount of time. Janeway thought about enhancing the hardware for a long time and had way more time to deploy it.
Thats like trying to make an old computer faster by installing an updated operating system vs installing whole new parts ;)
using a paradox...
I truly HATE to nitpick someone who was so generous as to upload this, but the sphere in question was actually from the 24th century -- 2375ish or so at a guess.
... I haven't seen this in years. That borg looks like Dwight Schrute.
Might as well be a Microsoft ad for my current laptop...
Where is the next part of this...please?
Whenever Android stops support for a device:
"Your technology is limited, i can not enhance it further."
ST Voyager is my favorit.
I gave up trying to figure out that... I just assume the script looks like a madlib sheet and they roll special technobabble dice to fill in the blanks.
"Your technology is limited, time to make the body suit cry for the ratings."
Funny how the ship's systems can be manipulated simply by driving two little leads straight into the face of a control panel (somehow without breaking it).
I sometimes enhance my Keyboard so i can play games @8K with 240 fps. But i'm limited by the technology in this timeline.
I mean they are just attaching to it and inserting nanobots or whatever which will spread throughout the systems?
@@Heldemon Makes as much sense as anything.
By the end of voyager it was more like "we are the borg, oops sorry wrong vessel please accept our apologies for the inconvenience of having to stop and destroy another few thousand drones."
Starfleet had so much experience with superior alien technology, they should be traveling to other galaxies by the end of Voyager.
Cannot upgrade technology further as a 29th century leapfrog, but Admiral Janeway can upgrade it from 30 odd years into the future..?
maybe cause future janeway was especially planning on upgrading the voyager, also having in mind, the technologie would be far more compatible, compared to 400 years older tech. like, try listening to venylplates with your aux cable
Borg have a limited amount of small talk: ‘you will be assimilated’. They’re very forward.
Janeway is my favorite captain!
I'll take Captain Seven!
Yay seven of nine
"We're Borg. Get assimilated. Resistance sucks." -The Borg in Five-Minute Voyager
i wunder if they didn't open the channel would the borg do nothing because they havn't gotten to say there line
The Borg would've just kept moving closer... The Borg don't do anything small.
as federation, we always choose to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. 7 of 9 is the perfect example of why.
Camera was so shoddy in this one but great episode
An option that they probably didn't consider would've been that "One" could've tapped into the transporter/replicator systems and upgraded them to work faster and to perform more-complex replications, such as replicating armor on the outside of the ship in a matter of seconds...
He could've also re-programmed the phaser systems to fire in pulses (like the USS Defiant) instead of just a single beam... but not just "pulses"... but each "pulse" would have its own randomized calibration! HAHAHA!
Love this show and this episode 😎
love stv...so cool..seven of nine rules...
