Easily my favorite episode. The visual and written humor lays out both how insane the Borg challenge is while simultaneously illustrating Boimler’s Kirk-level talent for defeating impossible odds. Scoring 100% seems to require no less than:

• Transport onto a Borg cube armed with nothing but a phaser
• Teach the Borg queen empathy
• Defeat the Borg queen at chess
• Capture five Borg prisoners
• Rescue ten Borg babies
• Set the cube for self destruct
• Establish subspace comms to schedule rendezvous with Starfleet
• Steal an escape pod and escape the doomed cube
