    Remember when they showed the same cube approaching again and again and again in the same scene for about 3 minutes?

    That was good television.

      Are you talking about the episode where the enterprise first encounters the borg? One thing that sticks out about that episode after rewatching it is how well those sorts of scenes build dramatic tension. The score really contributes to that in a way that I dont think we see in modern television. Its incredible how scenes that are mostly just people staring at a screen looking concerned felt so intense.

        I guess nobody will never know if that’s for the joke or because the movie’s production cost less than a car.

      The intrepid-class’ folding nacelles were actually designed by Ferengi trying to pad out the episode times.
