This week’s TrekFan watch-along will be ‘First Contact’ with our special guest, Noelle Hannibal!
Six years have passed since Captain Jean-Luc Picard was captured and assimilated by the Borg. Now, the Borg make a second attempt to conquer the Federation; but Starfleet believes that Picard’s experience makes him an “unstable element to a critical situation” and orders him to stay behind. But, when Starfleet’s fight does not go well, Picard and the crew of the new USS Enterprise disobey orders to join the fight, following the Borg three hundred years into the past just as Zefram Cochrane prepares to launch Humanity’s first warp-capable engine, the Phoenix, and make first contact with an alien race.
