It has been a long string of mediocre episodes. Thank goodness we finally get to one. While I enjoy “I, Borg” for the most part, my fondness for it has diminished because of subsequent Trek, notably Star Trek: First: Contact.

My TNG/DS9 era favoritism is going to shine through prominently in my review of “Metamorphosis.” The episode marks the first time the legendary Zefram Cochrane appears in Trek. I had seen the episode numerous times over the years before watching Star Trek: First Contact in 1996. As far as I a...
