This week on Strange New Pod, we go full red alert as we look back at one of the most legendary episodes in all of Star Trek: "The Best of Both Worlds," 35 years later.
From Riker’s impossible choice to the chilling arrival of Locutus of Borg, we break down what made this TNG two-parter a true television event, how it redefined the stakes for Star Trek, and why its legacy still looms large across the franchise today.
We’ll deep dive into the performances, writing, behind-the-scenes stories, and its long-lasting impact on everything from First Contact to Picard. Resistance is futile.
