    Man you bring that pain memory of 1993 when the best of both worlds first aired. Hell of a night on T.V. that night....utterly we did not know what was going to happen until the next night. The most memorable Battle in Star Trek history as hopeless as it was. Were about to start that would echo down the time line until the battle of the Tyra Nebula!

    I don't know how many years it's been since the original "Best of Both Worlds" but even this short version still gives me the chills.

      To answer your question Star Trek The Next Generation season 3 'The Best of Both Worlds part 1' aired on June 18th 1990 and 'The Best of Both Worlds Part 2' of season 4 aired on September 24th of that same year.

    Thanks. The size of the Borg cube is not stated in any series or film, but considered to be 3000m across with the Enterprise-D at 642m long. I scaled this correctly in these shots but in BoBW they were limited by the physical models to get the perspectives right, so they couldn't do distant shots moving closer in such as at 3:01 for example, which really show the sheer size of the cube.

      Except for the Borg cutting beam. In the episode, it was cutting into the Enterprise's starboard side. Here it's on the port side.

    To whoever made this video on the Best of Both Worlds you made a slight mistake of the first battle between the Enterprise and the Borg cube and that mistake was when the Borg engaged they're cutting beam and struck the secondary hull of the Enterprise you hit it on the wrong side the beam didn't hit the Enterprise on the port side it was on the starboard side.

    • @DeusExMachina10001
      @DeusExMachina10001 3 роки тому +3

      The Borg already knew about the Federation. In "The Neutral Zone" episode it was revealed that something had been basically scooping Romulan and Federation outposts off of their respective worlds, and in "Q Who", Worf mentioned that a number of planets in the system where Q flung them had areas upon them with a more or less identical pattern of damage. Q essentially sent them there to give Picard a somewhat dickish heads-up.

    7:27 that’s when it all goes wrong. (that music reminds me of when I was 7, I was scared of going on stage and I cried and ran off stage in elementary school, and one of my teachers asked “are you OK? why are you crying?” It’s like my stage fear was so big and angry at me that I actually cried) That song sounds like a song when it’s a twist and everything goes wrong. And that part what I said in parentheses is that actually reminds me of an incident that happened 5 years back. Cause, ya know, instant regret=The “Something goes brutally wrong” theme. “Top 10 Times I actually misunderstood” Is what I’m thinking from the incident that happened 5 years back.

    I play STO and some people say they don't see why Wolf 359 was such a tragedy, and that it was only 40 ships of Starfleet's almost 1500 ships. It's a fleet just like the real world. It took years to build each ship and has a crew serving aboard. When so many Captains lead their crew into impossible battle, when thousands die to save billions, the least we can do is respect their memory, even if it is just a show.

    • @eddieolshefski6467
      @eddieolshefski6467 Рік тому

      When I play STO, I would often go to Wolf 359 to pay my respects. Especially on the date when Best Of Both Worlds Part 2 aired. Cause that’s when the battle took place.

    @logiticalresponse9574 8 років тому

    I noticed it some people in the comments were quite rude but I guess if it wasn't for those people people wouldn't strive to do better but I want to be honest I've watched every episode All Star Trek except the original series multiple times like several times and The Best of Both Worlds episodes is my one of my favorites and I know those ship scenes very well and I can tell that there was no copying and pasting so it looks like you animated all that so I have to say excellent job I mean you were spot-on as far as I can tell with how the actual scenes went except some of the things you did a better job than the original like when the I think it was the USS Crazy Horse breaks away from the Enterprise and goes in different direction in the episode it looks weird but I really like how you integrated that's light on this and yours but it looks a whole lot more fluent like much more natural very very good job I loved every minute of it and I've watched almost all your videos but my favorite one is the the one about the first Starship Earth's first Starship the Valiant that was awesome that was like really really cool story I would really love to see you like a fool made movie of that that was an awesome awesome story thank you very much

    1) at least enterprise is or was safe for the moment again anyway 2) oh no it's them! THE BORG! 3) if they changed their position the Borg would've had to start from scratch 4) the deflector thing was worth a try i think too

    @CJCA915 Yes. Tractor beam is fractal noise stretched vertically with some other noise as well and shield is just an 3D ovaliod with some masking. I basically "hand draw" all my effects which takes along time!

    That would probably look good. It does have an opacity map applied to the outer surface which shows through the inner glow. It renders very quickly like this and I won't be changing it for Part 2 to keep it consistent.

    A few incongruities. The Borg never fired into the nebula…it was producing the storms that forced the Enterprise out. Second…the Enterprise couldn’t pursue the Borg cube after firing the massive discharge due to repairing the main deflector dish…not the engines.

  • @angelobrattoli4663

    Note that the Enterprise phasers hit the Borg cube from the get-go. That means the Borg did not have their shields up.
    Without shields up, transporters can be used at will. (as evidenced by every single Borg episode eventually results in Federation crew beaming on board a Borg vessel at will)
    Therefore, any half-witted Federation captain could easily ask for engineering to beam over a few dozen quantum torpedoes right into the core of the Borg cube upon first encounter, all set for immediate detonation.
    Big boom = Borg cube fragments everywhere.
    (Consider that in the TOS episode "Obsession", a half-ounce of antimatter was used against the vampiric blood-eating cloud creature... and it shattered the crust of a *PLANET*. Being that quantum torpedoes are supposed to be the 'next-level' of photon torpedoes, with a bigger boom, a few dozen should create an even bigger *BOOM* than that. So, such an explosion, occurring from the inside out... would easily vaporize a Borg cube.)
    ---
    In other words, the Borg are the coolest-looking lame enemies the Federation has ever seen. Easily destroyed, except for the idiocy of the story writers.

    @TairnKA 6 років тому

    I've always questioned two things, in this episode the BORG ship "turns" then pursues the Enterprise.
    Why have a side of a BORG ship facing forward versus a corner, thus enabling the BORG ship to bring more resources (weapons, tractor beams, ect...) to bear upon a target?

    • @pwnmeisterage
      @pwnmeisterage 5 років тому

      Apparently the hardware not distributed in a completely uniform way so it there's slightly different stuff on each cube facing. Not truly omnidirectional as appearance suggests.
      The cube might fly faster in one orientation because more engines mounted on the "rear" panel while it might have more sensors and weaponry on the "front" panel.
      And because stop-and-turn sort of gives it a "posture" which looks more menacing on screen, lol.
