THE OLDEST ENEMIES OF THE BORG HAVE COME
LOOKING FOR JEAN LUC PICARD
*** FINAL CURTAIN ***
At the end of the 1994 season, the Star Trek TNG
franchise owners decided to shut down production of
this show. In pursuing this action they left a glaring
unresolved issue: The Borg. In spite of the ‘bloody
nose’ given to the Borg in the 2-part episode THE
BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, they were still out there,
and out of the need to address this lingering problem
the inspiration for FINAL CURTAIN began brewing in
my mind. It attempts to address where The Borg
might have come from, and what might motivate
them, while also presenting a few new problems for
the crew of the Enterprise D to work out. Set your
personal mental “wayback machine” to 1994, after the
end of the Next GenerationTV series and before the
Next Generation films, and read it from that point of
STAR TREK plots evolution. I hope you like it. –LBC-
