A few months I discussed the follow up episode, it’s seeming high time to discuss the movie itself, it’s almost hard to believe it, but this year is the 30th anniversary of Star Trek-First Contact. The one and only decent Next Generation movie. It’s amazing what a mess those movies were, it’s a shame they were in such a rush to get them out. The creators forgot that one of the big reasons the original movies succeeded was the nostalgia factor. People just didn’t miss TNG yet (It's why people were excited when the cast did reunite on Picard Season 3 even if thar series was less than perfect). But this is the one movie which managed to at least be good.

The movie was released November 1996 and as I noted is the one movie that was considered pretty good, even great. Making the Borg the villain was a no brained and the lovely Alice Krige made a great Borg Queen. Yeah, she was a retcon but not a terrible one. It made sense, sort of. However, while the movie was really good that doesn’t mean it’s perfect. Here are five things I hated.
