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
Can’t forget the Thomas Riker!
And mirror Boims!
