Star Trek: TNG "The Best of Both Worlds" | Locutus & the Borg 35 Years Later
This week on Strange New Pod, we go full red alert as we look back at one of the most legendary episodes in all of Star Trek: "The Best of Both Worlds," 35 years later.
From Riker’s impossible choice to the chilling arrival of Locutus of Borg, we break down what made this TNG two-parter a true television event, how it redefined the stakes for Star Trek, and why its legacy still looms large across the franchise today.
We’ll deep dive into the performances, writing, behind-the-scenes stories, and its long-lasting impact on everything from First Contact to Picard. Resistance is futile.
