Star Trek: First Contact	comment	Spoilers are unmarked. Read at your own risk.The one where the Borg Time Travel to Make Wrong What Once Went Right.Star Trek: First Contact is the eighth movie in the Star Trek film series, released in 1996.The most popular Next Generation villain, the Borg, make another attempt to assimilate Earth. The newly-commissioned USS Enterprise-E scrambles to confront them, only to learn that the Borg have decided to use Time Travel to stop Earth's First Contact with aliens and Take Over the World, thus preventing The Federation from ever existing. Arriving above Earth in the year 2063, the Borg aim to stop Zefram Cochrane, the inventor of warp drive, from making his historic flight.Captain Picard is having none of that. An away team (led by Riker, Troi, and Geordi) immediately beams down to Set Right What Once Went Wrong, discovering in the process that the man their history paints as a visionary luminary was really a cynical drunk who just wanted to get rich. Regardless, they work to restore the damage the Borg caused and make sure that first contact goes as planned.Meanwhile, as if the remaining crew didn't have enough problems, they soon discover the Borg have invaded the Enterprise and are slowly assimilating her. Picard, who was assimilated by the Borg in the TNG two-parter "The Best of Both Worlds", is a little unstable, and becomes moreso as the plot progresses. His third-in-command, Data, isn't of much use either, as he's been captured and brainwashed by the Borg Queen.Often seen as one of the best of the series—let alone the best TNG film—as well as a major step-up from Generations. Continued with Star Trek: Insurrection.

Star Trek: First Contact / int_1049848f	type	Aliens Speaking English
Star Trek: First Contact / int_1049848f	comment	Aliens Speaking English: The Vulcan envoy addresses Cochrane with the traditional Vulcan greeting, "Live long and prosper" in clear English, despite this being the Vulcans' first encounter with humans and no evident Translator Microbes. But it had long been established in the novels (and would later be canonized in ENT) that the Vulcans had been observing Earth for decades by this point, and they made First Contact now because it occurred during one of these survey missions.

Star Trek: First Contact / int_1282bf4f	type	No Celebrities Were Harmed
Star Trek: First Contact / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: There are more than a few similarities between the character of Zefram Cochrane and Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Both were men who were elevated to near-mythic status posthumously, seen as legends and visionaries with "a dream" — and both were lecherous, with substance abuse problems, and primarily motivated by money (not to mention extremely tall). The filmmakers claim they didn't base Cochrane on Roddenberry, but the similarities are there. One commentary noted that the scene where a star-struck Reg Barclay meets Cochrane was like a star-struck Trek fan meeting Roddenberry. And both, in different senses, created the world of Star Trek.

Star Trek: First Contact / int_13f7da6	comment	Instant Expert: Data learns deception. He goes from unconvincingly lying about "mimicking the behavior of humans" when his arm flesh gets slashed, to convincing Queenie that he had sided with her and would betray humanity to the Borg. On the other hand, Data is shown numerous times during the run of TNG that he's a very good actor, so he might simply be putting these skills on display. It may also be that the original "deception" was a double bluff; he put on an unconvincing lie in order to make a more convincing one later.

Star Trek: First Contact / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
Star Trek: First Contact / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: TNG was sometimes criticized for lacking in action and character drama, which admittedly was because Gene Roddenberry wanted a series that spent more time on ideas rather than violence and characters who argue all the time. This movie is a rock-em action flick with some serious interpersonal conflict (Picard and Worf especially), with a literally darker color palette in both the new uniforms and the sets even before Borg assimilation. This was the first Star Trek film to receive the PG-13 rating, although in the UK, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was initially rated 15. note Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country only averted it by changing the color of Klingon blood

Star Trek: First Contact / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
Star Trek: First Contact / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Picard's hate for the Borg in his "The line must be drawn here" speech is like a person's hate for a rapist. Many actors and producers have said Picard's trauma after assimilation was modeled on a rape victim, while the Body Horror of assimilation was specifically designed to evoke a sexual assault. It's also a Cold War reference, containment and domino effect; it's why the United States fought The Vietnam War — This Far, No Farther! Older pulp sci-fi often represented communism as Borg-like in the era's rhetoric (the accusations of its collectivist, materialist, and racially uniform nature at home here and in Cold War propaganda, though fascism and other foreign ideologies were described similarly). The interactions between Picard, Data, and the Borg Queen come across as a jilted girlfriend wanting to show her ex how he could never measure up to her new boyfriend, and prove that she's totally winning the break-up. The Borg Queen introducing Data to the ahem pleasures of the flesh. See Did the Earth Move for You, Too?, above.

Star Trek: First Contact / int_178ca149	type	The Worf Effect
Star Trek: First Contact / int_178ca149	comment	The Worf Effect: Played with. On Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the USS Defiant was developed specifically to fight the Borg. The one time we actually see her fight the Borg, she's under Worf's command and almost gets destroyed. However, what we saw of it is only at the tail end a three hour long running battle from the edge of the Solar System right up to Earth's doorstep. It was getting its ass kicked, sure, but only after taking a gajillion tons more punishment than the other ships, who were getting one-shotted here and there over the course of the long battle. That it was still intact enough to be salvageable and quickly back up and running in short order by DS9, even after getting caught in the explosion of the cube, it shows how powerful the cube is, even with the new Defiant-class, but The Sisko's Defiant, even without the man himself, was the one carrying the fleet the entire time before the Enterprise arrived. Mostly averted with the man himself though. In fact Worf is basically the only one other than Data who's able to fight the Borg hand to hand effectively.

Star Trek: First Contact / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer depicts Picard's "The line must be drawn HERE!" speech as a Badass Boast, instead of the Roaring Rampage of Revenge / Sanity Slippage on Picard's part. Additionally, the trailer also features Data's sneering "Resistance is futile" retort, but makes it seem as if Data had been fully subverted by the Borg, instead of being a Pre-Mortem One-Liner aimed at the Borg Queen as his trap of duplicity against her is sprung. And more importantly, the trailers made it look like the Borg were mounting a full-scale invasion against the Federation, instead of only attacking Earth. The original teaser did not feature any new ship footage and was comprised entirely of stock footage from TNG episodes and Star Trek: Generations. This seemed to suggest that the new Enterprise would be the same model as the old ship. It also featured a shot of Voyager fighting a Borg cube.

For some reason, they don't open their temporal vortex until after launching an all-out invasion of Earth in the present, which draws Starfleet's attention to their time travel plot and gives the Enterprise crew just enough time to follow them back into the past and stop them. Presumably, they could have opened their temporal vortex anywhere in the galaxy they wanted (and then traveled to Earth while already in the past), and they didn't need to pick a massive fight with Starfleet to do it.

Star Trek: First Contact / int_21e5b9c7	comment	Failed a Spot Check: When discussing why the Borg stopped on Deck 11, the crewmember names several departments including Deflector Control, before dismisses it as not being a vital system. In "Best of Both Worlds," the crew of the Enterprise-D were capable of turning the deflector dish into an anti-Borg cannon. Thanks to Locutus, it didn't work, but the idea that that system could be turned into a weapon probably should have been considered by the crew. This becomes particularly baffling when you remember that the deflector dish is the only thing allowing the ship to travel at Warp without being destroyed by space dust. Considering at this point the Borg also controlled engineering, how did they know they weren't intending to head back to the Delta Quadrant after sabotaging First Contact?

Many fans likely assumed that First Contact would naturally be with the Vulcans, because of course it would.

The Borg leitmotif uses the "blaster beam", also used for V'Ger's leitmotif in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which helps fuel the Epileptic Trees that the Borg was the race of machines V'Ger was said to have encountered, or that V'Ger had been the one to create The Borg based off of fragmented memories of its' Earthly creators. As they're about to conduct warp flight, Cochrane yells "Engage!", which is something of a Catchphrase for Picard (really, for the entire Federation). Riker and Geordi grin at each other after he does this.

Star Trek: First Contact / int_37690091	comment	Stable Time Loop: The Enterprise crew creates either this or successfully Tricked Out Time, and it's not completely clear which one. While the crew believe they are doing the latter, it's unclear whether Lily rode with Cochrane in the original timeline and then later Riker and Geordi replaced her, or whether Riker and Geordi were always the ones who flew with Cochrane. For instance, isn't it strange that none of the Enterprise crew seem to have ever heard of Lilynote In the novel at least, Picard addresses Lily as "Dr Sloane" once, and his internal monologue gives a precis of her pre- and post-Cochrane career, especially since they are such fanboys of Cochrane's? It may be that Lily never rode with Cochrane in the Phoenix, and the Enterprise's role in first contact was understandably excluded from the historical account. It's also not clear whether Cochrane's future quote about not trying to be a great man actually came from Cochrane, or whether it came from Riker telling Cochrane the quote, who would then go on to say the quote, which Riker would then learn and repeat to Cochrane, and so on.

Not surprising given the tough little ship lasted for the duration of the entire running battle. On a Meta level, this was likely due to one of the reasons why the Enterprise-D was destroyed in the preceding film (because the sets had been built for a lower resolution - i.e. television, not film). The darkened lightening, smoke, and damage thus likely isn't just meant to show the beating the Defiant has taken; it's also meant to hide flaws or features that would have shown up on the big screen.

Oddly enough the population consists of only 9 billion Borg even though the planet's entire surface seems to have been completely urbanized and technified. Presumably, the rest of the space is taken up by automated factories or other automated urbanization. Possibly justified—at the end of 2012, the world population was only 7 billion, and realistically, without significant advances in farming and food production, the world cannot support much more than about 9 or 10 billion. A significant amount of humans were most likely rendered unable to be assimilated by use of nuclear weaponry. 9 billion may be a high number. The Borg may have also moved drones both on and off the planet in the 300-ish years, so it's anyone's guess as to how many of those 9 billion life forms were once human.

Star Trek: First Contact / int_6b05b601	comment	Jerkass Has a Point: While Admiral Hayes wasn't entirely right to send Picard away when the Borg attacked Earth (and Picard's showing up to the party proved to be the vital element that won the battle), his assessment of Picard as a potentially "unstable element" in a critical situation wasn't really wrong either, as we see in the latter parts of the film. During Lily's argument with Picard, Picard says that he killed Lynch because there was no way to save him. While this is presented as part of Picard's Sanity Slippage, this is unfortunately true: the process to rescue Picard was long and tedious, nearly killed him, and would be impossible due to the Borg cutting off power to everywhere except the Engineering deck. Also, given the Borg's adaptability, they had probably refined the assimilation process by this time to make it harder to reverse.

While the Defiant participates in the opening fight, none of the DS9 characters other than Worf are manning it. The real-life reason, of course, is the Defiant's cameo is ultimately a plot device for bringing Worf back into the TNG corner of the 24th Century for this film (to say nothing of budgetary constraints, overcrowding the film's first Act, confusing audiences who hadn't been watching the spinoff, etc). No in-universe explanation has ever been given for Team Sisko's absence (though given Sisko's a Wolf 359 survivor, it's not unreasonable to conclude that Command probably had the same concerns about him facing the Borg again as they did with Picard).

Could be justified by the fact he was a Borg for a while, but that doesn't explain why he doesn't mention this vital piece of information about a dangerous enemy onscreen, and Data seemingly knows nothing about her despite the fact that he presumably would have read any report Picard made after the incident. They attempt to Handwave this by implying that Picard had forgotten about her until they're reintroduced in the film — or else thought that she'd died aboard the cube, and didn't realize she might have survived in another body (as is implied). Lt. Hawk is the navigator on the Enterprise-E, and though he's never appeared before this movie, he's treated as if he's been a member of the bridge crew for years and Picard specifically addresses him several times throughout. Ultimately, this spotlighting is really just to make him a Mauve Shirt rather than a red one when he eventually is seized and assimilated by the Borg.

Obviously, the ship had to survive as Deep Space Nine was still on the air and needed the ship for its own narrative. Amusingly Ronald D. Moore actually forgot this in an early draft and destroyed the ship...which understandably did not please DS9 showrunner Ira Steven Behr (hence the line in the final draft about the ship being adrift, but salvageable).note This is despite Moore having joined the DS9 writing staff by this point, having written many episodes featuring the Defiant... including one actually named after her.

Indeed, at the beginning of the film, one of the first times we hear the link in action is just before Picard tells the fleet to lock on to and shoot a certain spot on the Borg ship, implying the link had informed him of a weak spot. In the novelization, the whispers stop when Picard snaps the Borg Queen's spine. An explanation for the whispers would finally be provided 27 years later.

Picard calls him a coward when he should know full well how deadly an insult that is to a Klingon: this is the same Picard whom in the series is the only person Worf trusts enough to confide in about Klingon problems and is trusted enough by the Klingon government to arbitrate a succession dispute. So both Picard chewing out Worf this way and Worf's response — "If you were any other man, I would kill you where you stand!" — are very significant. It also underscores how much respect Worf actually has for Picard, and his knowledge that the future is far more important than any single ship or man.

Around the climax of the film, Picard's struggle with his own emotions turns out to be one of the movie's primary themes, becoming evident when his desire for revenge against the Borg nearly drives him mad. Foreshadowing the same madness, Picard starts screaming in rage as he machine-guns down a couple of Borg drones inside the holodeck and is about to pistol-whip the corpse before Lily stops him. Before heading to the surface with a team, Geordi observes it's unusually warm in engineering and tells a subordinate to check the environmental controls. We later learn this is the first indication the Borg have snuck aboard and are slowly taking over the ship.

This film showed that, yes, Picard definitely had not gotten over it, even after having dealt with Hugh. The moon hiding the Enterprise-E from the approaching Vulcan ship is probably a nod to The Wrath of Khan, where the Enterprise hid from the Reliant by circling around Regula on its opposite side. When Picard shatters the glass case in the Ready Room and the starship models fall to the ground he takes a long look at the Enterprise-D, destroyed in the previous film. Heavily implied in the movie, the novelization confirms that he was wondering if he was upset over losing another Enterprise or if he was actually lost in revenge. Data's sexual experience with Tasha is referenced, and the time since is even accurate In-Universe.

Having the Defiant as part of the Starfleet armada both solves this and is a nod to the ship's origins as an anti-Borg project. The Enterprise-E is also carrying Quantum Torpedoes, which had debuted on DS9 during the interim between Generations and this film. Star Trek: Voyager: The Enterprise-E is equipped with the newly developed Emergency Medical Hologram.

She doesn't notice in the background as he gets closer and closer to the coolant tanks, until the torpedoes miss the Phoenix entirely. She turns, realizing a moment too late what's happened, as Data smugly declares his allegiance to Starfleet by declaring that "Resistance is Futile."

Picard has an amazingly understated one when the manual release to Engineering's main door doesn't work. ("Perhaps we should just knock.") Riker and Geordi share a look that just screams this when, after being told that a system has malfunctioned, Cochrane proceeds to hit the controls, shrug, and say, "Don't worry!" The helmsman of the Defiant has a major one upon realizing that they've lost weapons and shields. Then Worf orders him to ram the Borg Cube. When the engineers on the ship are ambushed by Borg, Picard briefly hears the Collective's voice. An Enterprise crewman looks scared shitless when Picard orders the crew to start fighting the Borg hand-to-hand. Worf's successor as Security Chief, Lt. Daniels pointedly gives Worf a look, silently asking him to try to talk some sense into Picard. Lily's clearly terrified after she empties her machine gun into Data's back and he doesn't even slow down. She then comes close to completely freaking out when she has her first encounter with the "bionic zombies". After the two previous traumas, she's momentarily scared (but not all-out terrified) when she meets Worf, her first non-malicious Rubber-Forehead Alien. "39.1 degrees Celsius... like a Borg ship."

Star Trek: First Contact / int_b2280b66	comment	Retcon: This movie shows Zefram Cochrane as the man who not only created warp drive, but also conducted the first warp flight and made first contact with an extraterrestrial species shortly afterward. In the TOS episode "Metamorphosis", where the character originated, he was simply said to be the inventor of warp drive. No more, no less. Cochrane was also called "Cochrane of Alpha Centauri" in "Metamorphosis". However, fanon had long since decided he was a human who just moved to Alpha Centauri after inventing warp drive, under the assumption that he was the inventor of warp drive for humans (where other races may have had it much earlier), and because of the unlikelihood that humans colonized Alpha Centauri prior to faster-than-light travel. Cochrane also looks much older than he should, according to dates given in "Metamorphosis." The semi-official explanation for this is that he is younger than he looks because of radiation poisoning. It's been noted that Picard's hatred of the Borg, to the point of Revenge Before Reason, wasn't really established in the TV series. At least, not nearly to the extent it's shown in the movie.

Then the Trek technical advisers stated that they couldn't shoot the dish because it would blow up the ship.

Star Trek: First Contact / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: To the Original Series. "I'm a doctor, not a doorstop." The Maglock system on the deflector dish has a subsystem designation of AE35. Picard tells Lily "you are not in Montana anymore." One of the ships fighting the Borg at the start of the film is the USS Thunderchild, a reference to another ship that fought alien invaders. Twice, Cochrane's jukebox fails to start when he turns it on (once when he plugs it back in after Riker unplugged it, and then again at the end when he's introducing the Vulcans to Earth culture). How does Cochrane manage to start it? By thumping it, of course! The end title sequence is directly lifted from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. As Jerry Goldsmith's score plays, the camera pans up from a forested area to a star-filled sky, the Trek theme plays, and credits roll.

Star Trek: First Contact / int_c7b5445c	type	Cool Starship
Star Trek: First Contact / int_c7b5445c	comment	Cool Starship: The new and improved USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E makes her glorious debut in this film. The television version, 1701-D, had been destroyed in the previous film for no other reason than to introduce a more cinematic version in this one. This was a practical motivation as much as stylistic, since the old ship's sets were built for TV and the level of detail shown on film meant they had to make them Darker and Edgier just to hide the lower quality, and the models of the ship were either too difficult to shoot effectively or not detailed enough for film. The USS Defiant was introduced on Deep Space Nine as being a prototype starship specifically designed to fight the Borg. Apparently it was a running fight from where the fleet engaged the cube to when it came in orbit around Earth. This is the only time the ship got to fulfill her purpose, and despite her size, she lasted the entire running fight from initial contact all the way to Earth, which lasted three hours. Several other background starships from the opening battle, most notably the Akira-class◊, have gotten surprising amounts of love from the fans. Canonically the ships were designed and built after the devastating defeat at Wolf 359 from the episode "Best of Both Worlds," already forming a major backstory to this film, and were meant to be more battle-hardy than previous Starfleet ships. One of the starships fighting the Borg was the Millennium Falcon in a sub-blink-and-you-miss-it cameo courtesy of ILM who worked on special effects for the film. The Borg Cube, as in the series, is a huge, menacing cube of circuitry and organics, flying ominously through space.

Star Trek: First Contact / int_ccab244d	type	Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better
Star Trek: First Contact / int_ccab244d	comment	Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better: After the Borg adapt to their phasers, Picard lures a couple of drones into the Holodeck and shoots them with a Tommy gun. This has led to fan speculation that Borg shields suck against kinetic attacks, which is semi-verified in noncanonical novels. It's reflected in the visual effect of the Borg adapting to weapons fire. The series had what looked like an actual shield pop up and the phaser shot doing no damage. Starting with this movie the phaser blast seems to be dissipated into the full body of the drone, which suggests that it isn't a personal shield but the actual body armor of the drone allowing it to absorb energy. This makes projectile weapons logical. Melee attacks weave in and out. On the one hand, Worf is inhumanly strong and Data is outright superhumanly strong and both do alright in physical combat but still ended up taking hits. The one human Red Shirt that attempts to Phaser-butt a drone gets his ass handed to him in short order. Another officer balks at the idea of hand-to-hand combat, clearly aware that such an attempt would fail horribly. Unless you can shut down the drone in one hit, you have no real chance in a prolonged fight; they're super-strong zombies with assimilation tubes, and if they grab you, you join them. The Red Shirt getting his ass handed to him might have been because he hit the drone in the chest. The drone that Worf takes down with his phaser rifle was hit in the neck. Worf, being a Klingon, is somewhat more resistant to assimilation than humans are due to his physiology (Klingons can still be assimilated—in fact, we do see at least a couple Klingon Borg in the film—but due to their immune systems being able to hold the Borg nanoprobes at bay for a time, it takes significantly longer, so even if Worf does get pricked by the assimilation tubes there is time to remove them before he goes Borg), and also stronger than humans, while Data is downright immune to assimilation and ridiculously strong compared to humans (which is why the Borg Queen had to resort to weird methods to try to turn him). Thus it makes sense that only these two were somewhat effective in melee.

Star Trek: First Contact / int_e83f211c	type	O.O.C. Is Serious Business
Star Trek: First Contact / int_e83f211c	comment	O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When Worf - the Proud Warrior Race Guy, the man who hours before was planning to ram his ship into a Borg Cube- is saying that Picard's plan is too dangerous. Picard calls him a coward when he should know full well how deadly an insult that is to a Klingon: this is the same Picard whom in the series is the only person Worf trusts enough to confide in about Klingon problems and is trusted enough by the Klingon government to arbitrate a succession dispute. So both Picard chewing out Worf this way and Worf's response — "If you were any other man, I would kill you where you stand!" — are very significant. It also underscores how much respect Worf actually has for Picard, and his knowledge that the future is far more important than any single ship or man. Picard in general. From the moment he realises that Borg are on board he begins a dangerous slide, becoming irrational and violent; far from the calm, composed and compassionate leader he usually is in any other situation. He goes berserk when mowing down the two drones in the Holodeck; not only emptying the full magazine into them (possibly justified) while screaming madly at them (questionable composure), but attempting to beat their corpses with the butt of the rifle (definitely unnecessary) before Lily stops him. He doesn't show any form of emotion when Lily points out that the drone he killed used to be a crew member, either. When Worf suggests abandoning ship and self-destructing the Enterprise (a call that is entirely justified and the best hope for survival the crew has at this point) Picard calls him a coward and refuses to hear any other justification even from others in the crew. Add to this that to call a Klingon a coward is possibly THE worst insult you could wield against their species; you'd think Picard would be more careful with this were he not so blinded by vehement rage. His outburst in front of Lily in the ready room. He vents his frustration by destroying his display of previous Enterprises, then vents to Lily that falling back is not enough, that a stand must be made; very passionate and very unlike normal Picard. It's a valid reasoning in any other situation, true, but when the entire surviving crew and the future is at stake, it's just reckless and VERY likely to end badly. Add to this the final sentence he speaks and the truth comes out; he just wants to destroy the Borg regardless of cost, as revenge for when they assimilated him and for the destruction they are wreaking on his ship. This is so unlike Picard that even Lily (who barely knows him) picks up on it.

Star Trek: First Contact / int_e9db9908	type	Younger Than They Look
Star Trek: First Contact / int_e9db9908	comment	This movie shows Zefram Cochrane as the man who not only created warp drive, but also conducted the first warp flight and made first contact with an extraterrestrial species shortly afterward. In the TOS episode "Metamorphosis", where the character originated, he was simply said to be the inventor of warp drive. No more, no less. Cochrane was also called "Cochrane of Alpha Centauri" in "Metamorphosis". However, fanon had long since decided he was a human who just moved to Alpha Centauri after inventing warp drive, under the assumption that he was the inventor of warp drive for humans (where other races may have had it much earlier), and because of the unlikelihood that humans colonized Alpha Centauri prior to faster-than-light travel. Cochrane also looks much older than he should, according to dates given in "Metamorphosis." The semi-official explanation for this is that he is younger than he looks because of radiation poisoning.

Justified because while he was saved from the collective, it was a long and tedious process and they have neither time nor resources (all the power is being drained from all decks except the Engineering deck) to perform similar procedures. During the fighting a few scenes later, he puts his phaser where his mouth is and shoots a Red Shirt whose body is being consumed by nanoprobes. And then later on, he Tommy-guns Ensign Lynch.
