Star Trek's Borg Queen Finally Beating Picard Shows A Federation Weakness
Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Picard Season 2, Episode 1 — «The Star Gazer»
The Borg Queen (Annie Wersching) finally won in Star Trek: Picard season 2's premiere by exploiting the United Federation of Planets' weakness. Although the Borg's ruler was robbed of her ultimate victory over Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) by Q (John de Lancie), who saved «mon capitaine» by changing the timeline, the cybernetic beings overwhelmed Starfleet with shocking ease. The Borg Queen beat her adversaries by preying on the Federation's trust while also turning the technology Starfleet took from the Borg against them.
Captain Picard and the USS Enterprise-D and E foiled two of the Borg's attempts to assimilate Earth and the Federation. InStar Trek: The Next Generation, Picard was assimilated and turned into Locutus, later revealed to be the intended counterpart of the Borg Queen. However, the crew of the Enterprise was able to save and reclaim Picard, who showed them how to deactivate the drones within the Borg Cube. InStar Trek: First Contact, the Borg Queen (Alice Krige) revealed herself for the first time and masterminded a gambit for the Borg to assimilate Earth in the 21st century. Picard and Data (Brent Spiner) teamed up to stop the Borg Queen's plan and save history. Although the Borg Queen (Susanna Thompson) later became the foe of Star Trek: Voyager and Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), she bears a special enmity for Picard.
