Being a complete idiot must have been part of the job description for people who wanted to take part in that mission.
I really hate the actors setup nowadays; so politically correct and so unrealistic. We need to have a Latino, Black, Asian, women, gays, etc. Just make an crew of logically apt people, not the 'representation' of your viewers or somekind of neutral political agenda. As if a movie portraiting the KKK would have any of forementioned diversities on their side of the fence 'to fulfill somekind of moral code'. Please Netflix stop doing this, most of your viewers are not dumb, linear or narrow-minded people.
I was really into this until the last 10 minutes or so when it went off the rails. It doesn't help that this has come so close on the heels of Netflix's* Nightflyers which is an extremely similar concept, but straight away the characters and storytelling here are better (but that's not a high bar to beat). This obviously doesn't have much of a budget, but the writing is fun enough to not make that a big issue.
Right now it's just a bit bizarre. That final moment was nonsense. Just as with Nightflyers, why send a crew of clearly emotionally unstable people on such an important mission? Staging a mutiny on the first day? Beyond ridiculous.
This must be the most millennial and useless crew ever assembled for a critical mission to "save humanity". Fortunately they will die one by one, and let Niko do her job.
If there's a 4th season, I won't bother. It's gotten too weird. Not as bad (yet) as Lost (which I quit watching), but fast on it's way.
How many random people is Ben going to tell they had a calling & they understand it like it’s an everyday word? WTF!!!
How many time is Ben going to say lifeboat? We get it, it’s a fucking lifeboat.
omg now the computer has emotions too...
its an "organic" evolution says the machine :D
I hear nothing... put it on speakers... still nothing...
I love how damn easy it is for Billions to be stolen... moved... and then re-stolen. You have to wonder just how effective 2FA is? Maybe criminal types don’t use it :face_with_monocle:
When Jillian shared her acceptance on everything dying, even love, I actually felt that...
:zap: Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny Penny...
:joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy: That was the funniest scene I've seen since Joey Tribiani came up with the moo point.
Mediocre episode even though I really liked the flashbacks to Emma finding out that she‘s pregnant and the dilemma that puts her in. The scenes on the Atlas were rather boring though.
The family talk scene was so good. I understand Skyler's perspective as well as Walter's, but Marie was right and I'm glad Hank agreed with her. It's entirely Walter's choice. I wonder what happened between Skyler and Marie. Their quarrels seem more than simply being sisters and always at each other's throats.
The ratings for this episode are so high and I don't understand why.
It's okai/good, but it has so many flaws that nobody seem to mention and it annoyed me so much.
That bank was so unsafe, they opened the bank safe in no time without any problems.
Where are the camera's? Not even a camera inside the safe!
The professor didn't give a sign or what so ever, why did she run outside?
They had their masks off most of the time, why? Why take any risk?
I know the hostages were blindfolded, but more could have gone wrong.
I probably take everything way too serious...

Boy oh boy... what was I wrong when I wrote this comment.
This serie is a must watch! It will blow your mind.
I rate the entire serie a 9! It's that great.
I don't think this episode had much impact on me as a kid, but watching it now I realised what a wonderful piece of work it is. I've often had a problem with the Borg, in that they just aren't very interesting. Certainly they've managed to give them a cold sort of sense of dread, but mostly they are incredibly bland. 'I, Borg' finally gives them a new angle and it was much needed.
It's also surprising just how little they featured in the show, with this only being their third appearance. We get a brilliant character piece here for Picard, but also for Guinan and even Geordi. It's especially unnerving to Guinan, usually the poster child for serenity and good sense, to clearly be angry and unwilling to let go of her hate. Picard's responses are more expected and the episode allows us to go on a wonderful journey with him. I was particularly impressed by his mental transition back to being Locutus.
The real reason the episode works as a whole though is because the great performance by the young actor playing Hugh. He presents vulnerability and confusion well, without breaking into anything overly emotional or melodramatic.
It does seem that this episode would be completely ignored by the time of the First Contact movie, notably in regard to Picard's state of mind, and there are inconsistencies which aren't really addressed. I think at this point the idea was that Borg were still born and grown instead of being made up of all the species that they had assimilated.
God damnit Sara when did u get this dumb?
Why do they always leave the guns behind?? Makes no sense.
Didn't see that coming! Terrorists with clothes lined with explosive!!
Worf, "What a handsome race." Whattt????? xD Well that's a humorous surprise that Counselor Troi's mom's gonna be with them again.
Omg that moment when the servant drank the entire glass of Picard's blue drink. Oh my god, that moment when Picard invited Data and it cut to random conversations...ROFL.
Picard, "Data you will never know how much I owe you for that...Data, later." ROFL
Omg. "Computer freeze program" (3 times......I spit out my food when the dude with the Tommy Gun came in the door. xD"
