      No, you guys need to update yourselves on this. This is a very common misconception. The Borg were not inspired by Lord Dredd.
      He was indeed reminiscent of them, but this has been fact checked to death at this point (2021). It's simply a fan theory and not actually an evidence based fact.
      After jumping off from the original insect style they were going for with the Borg they actually drew real inspiration from things like H.R. Giger and various DC Comic books as well as common cyborg tropes of the time like Terminator.
      I know many people would love if it were true, an obscure show like this had that much of an impact, but I'm afraid it really has always just been a rumor spread.

      I had them as a kid. That sequence at the end was kinda fun if you had one of the fighter jets.

      And Star Trek TNG no doubt were "inspired" by him for their Borg design.

      TNG were inspired by HR Giger and Terminator actually.
      The Lord Dredd thing is a fan theory. Been debunked by Michael Okuda a while now.

    It looks so awkward in a charming way. Like Power Rangers, but "made in USA".

    Looked amazing to a kid back then. Now to me as an adult, it looks so cheesy, especially the effects. Clearly a low budget series, but good enough to inspire kids.
    I still find the pilot girl cute, and was so sad when she got killed.

      It cost around a million dollars per episode! Definitely not cheap! Keep in mind this was top of the line cgi back then, it was expensive even if it didn't look very real.
      I was in my teens when I watched it and even then it looked too fake for me to suspend disbelief, but it was graphically ahead of its competition.
