ASSIGNED NUMBERS |

The Enterprise crew fights the dreaded biomechanical beings
called The Borg.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Data has (implied) feelings of arousal. There is a brief
discussion about his sexual capabilities and when he last used them. Nothing explicit.
Picard is kissed by a hologram. Data is passionately kissed by the Borg Queen.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - In a dream/flashback sequence, a spinning surgical drill
touches an eyeball. Also in the dream, something unknown moves around under the skin of a
character's face and bursts out. Several battle scenes with explosions, people being
knocked around and such; nothing too graphic is shown. At least one man falls to his
death. Dead bodies are found in the ruins of a base. The Borg are shot with phasers. Data
kills one cyborg by twisting its neck and breaking it. A crewman's neck is penetrated with
wires, he becomes a cyborg, and is shot and killed. Drills penetrate Data's head. Humans
are dismembered and fitted with mechanical parts. A brawl takes place in a holographic
nightclub. Picard sprays a room full of holographic people with machine gun fire. In one
somewhat graphic scene Picard reaches inside a Borg's guts. Human skin, taken from fallen
crew members, is applied to Data. Data is cut and bleeds. A Borg's hand is sliced off; the
dismembered hand is later seen fastened to Worf by a tether. A vapor dissolves the organic
parts of the cyborgs. The metal parts of a Borg twitch in death throes until its metal
spine is snapped.
PROFANITY 3 - A scatological reference, a few references to bodily
functions, and a few mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Survival and freedom from oppression. Obsession and revenge.
MESSAGE - Good vs. evil. Disobeying orders is often for the greater good.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
