It’s Pride Month and Kelvin, Christos and Ben take a moment to consider the last 12 months in Star Trek from the LGBTQ+ perspective. How have the queer community been represented within the franchise, what’s been the reactions and how do we feel about the diversity and representation within Star Trek right now.Join our listeners group: The BQN Collective on FacebookJoin our Discord server: https://discord.gg/wqJt68vnxgThe Network: @BQNpodcasts (IG/Bluesky)The Show: @AllGoodPod (Bluesky)Amy: @amynelson522 (IG/Discord) Christos: @whatstheteabev (IG/Bluesky/Discord)Kelvin: @KelvinsTimeline (IG/X/Discord)Kristin: @Kstraz (IG) @Garaksfanclub (Reddit)Ben: @benboldlygoes (IG)BQN Podcasts are made possible by the generous contributions of listeners like you.

To conclude our season of Borg-centric episodes, Kelvin, Christos and Ben discuss Regeneration from the second season of Enterprise. The episode that supposedly made the Borg scary once again. Was the episode a fitting nod to Star Trek: First Contact, or a desperate ratings grab from a seemingly failing part of the franchise? Listen to find out, and remember, resistance is futile.Join our listeners group: The BQN Collective on FacebookJoin our Discord server: https://discord.gg/wqJt68vnxgThe Network: @BQNpodcasts (IG/Bluesky)The Show: @AllGoodPod (Bluesky)Amy: @amynelson522 (IG/Discord) Christos: @whatstheteabev (IG/Bluesky/Discord)Kelvin: @KelvinsTimeline (IG/X/Discord)Kristin: @Kstraz (IG) @Garaksfanclub (Reddit)Ben: @benboldlygoes (IG)BQN Podcasts are made possible by the generous contributions of listeners like you.

AGT 215: The Evolution of a Species Pt 4: The Borg (Part 2)On this episode of All Good Things: A Star Trek Universe Podcast, Christos, Amy, and Kelvin continue their deep dive into the evolution of the Borg with The Evolution of a Species, Part 4: The Borg Part 2.After exploring the Borg’s terrifying rise throughout The Next Generation and First Contact in AGT 205, the crew now examines how Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Picard transformed the Collective from an unstoppable force of nature into something far more complicated—and tragic.The discussion explores Voyager’s deconstruction of the Borg through landmark episodes like “Scorpion,” “Dark Frontier,” “Drone,” “Unimatrix Zero,” and “Endgame,” while analyzing Seven of Nine’s journey as perhaps the franchise’s greatest exploration of recovery, identity, and reclamation after assimilation.The conversation then shifts into Star Trek: Picard, where the Borg are reframed not simply as villains, but as the remnants of a fallen empire struggling with trauma, failure, and the collapse of their own idea of perfection. From the Borg Reclamation Project to the haunting final confrontation of Season 3, the crew debates whether the Borg are still monsters… or victims of their own ideology.Topics include:• Did Voyager overuse the Borg?• Lore expansion vs diminishing menace• Seven of Nine as the Borg’s greatest legacy• The Borg as metaphor for technological overreach• Can the Borg exist without domination?• Is the Collective evolving… or going extinct?Join our listeners group The BQN Collective on FacebookJoin our Discord server: https://discord.gg/wqJt68vnxgThe Network: @BQNpodcasts (IG/Bluesky)The Show: @AllGoodPod (Bluesky)Amy: @amynelson522 (IG/Discord) Christos: @whatstheteabev (IG/Bluesky/Discord)Kelvin: @KelvinsTimeline (IG/X/Discord)Kristin: @Kstraz (IG)BQN Podcasts are made possible by the generous contributions of listeners like you.
