Worst. Episode. Ever.

The ST:TNG episode "I, Borg" from the fifth season is the worst episode ever. Picard ignores a perfectly reasonable plan to eliminate the Borg threat once and for all, saving billions of lives, and instead gambles that the collective will find the idea of individuality attractive enough that they will all peacefully give up their genocidal ambitions. As we saw from, oh, every subsequent Borg episode, this did not work. This whole season of the show has been awful. Maudlin, touchy-feely episodes where the only issues at hand are who can be more sensitive than the next character. Faugh!
