Review of Star Trek: Picard

The portrayal of the Borg in the show is disappointing as it goes against their historical depiction. Instead of their usual focus on assimilation, the show has depicted them as being solely focused on pointless annihilation. This depiction is an insult to the history, concept, and future of the Borg. It is difficult to understand why the Borg would engage in such indiscriminate killing of non-assimilated individuals. Furthermore, the portrayal of the Borg queen as less than regal is inconsistent with her established character. This gross injustice oversimplifies the concept, turning the Borg into pure villains with no nuance. A good villain should have shades of gray, which is lost in this portrayal. The show's approach ultimately does a disservice to the complexity of the Borg and reduces them to a simplistic good versus evil trope.
