I, Borg
"I, Borg" is the 23rd episode of the fifth season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, the 123rd overall. It was aired on May 10, 1992, in broadcast syndication; the episode was written by René Echevarria, with an uncredited assist from executive producer Jeri Taylor. It was directed by Robert Lederman, the film editor for The Next Generation, one of two directing credits he received during the course of the season. Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the crew of the Federation starship Enterprise. In this episode, an injured Borg drone is found amid a crashed scout ship; as they restore him to health, the crew must decide whether or not to develop him as a weapon of mass destruction against the Borg, but when he demonstrates free will, they must question that decision. The writers had problems bringing back the Borg due to their apparent near-invincibility; the idea for "I, Borg" was well received among the staff, with Taylor comparing it to the film Edward Scissorhands.
The episode saw a development in the make-up design for the Borg by Michael Westmore's team. Del Arco was deliberately antisocial prior to his audition in order to enter Hugh's mindset, but at the same time sought to use the innocence and wonderment generated by a friend's death as Hugh's voice, he was pleased when the character returned in the two-part episode "Descent". The episode received Nielsen ratings of 12.8 percent, critics were positive with praise directed at both Del Arco and Whoopi Goldberg, as well as the general nature of the plot. The crew discover a wrecked Borg scout ship with a single survivor: a young Borg drone. Dr. Beverly Crusher insists on treating the surviving Borg despite the concerns of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. On Picard's orders, the drone is confined and monitored by security forces at all times and is prevented from contacting the Borg Collective. Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge and Lt. Commander Data assist Crusher in bringing the Borg back to health; as they come to understand the workings of the Borg, La Forge and Data devise an idea of using the Borg drone as a weapon of mass destruction.
By implanting an unsolvable geometric formula into his mind and returning him to the Collective, the formula should spread and disable the Borg. Crusher is aghast at this suggestion, considering it equivalent to genocide, while Picard and the other senior crew deliberate on the ethics of this plan; the Borg drone calls himself "Third of Five", but ends up referring to and understanding himself as "Hugh" – the name given to him by La Forge. Hugh discusses how the Borg only wish to learn about other cultures through assimilation, but La Forge counters this argument, discussing aspects of individuality that make them human and unique. In further debates, La Forge finds himself becoming a friend to Hugh, begins to doubt his previous idea; this is further complicated. The crew now debate whether it is appropriate to sacrifice one individual to protect the majority, though Picard is still insistent on destroying the Collective. Crusher and La Forge arrange to have Guinan, who has a similar loathing for the Borg because they destroyed her homeworld, speak to Hugh.
She finds Hugh to be not a mindless drone but a confused young man, she agrees Hugh is no longer a Borg. Guinan convinces Picard to meet with Hugh, as well, Picard comes to the same conclusion, in part because Hugh refers to himself as "I" instead of the Borg's collective "we" during their discussion. Picard instead offers Hugh asylum within the Federation. Hugh expresses enthusiasm at the prospect of remaining with La Forge but refuses, recognizing that the Borg will still come looking for him, he offers to be returned to the crash site, where he will be re-assimilated by the Borg. Picard hopes that, once Hugh is reconnected, the sense of individualism Hugh has learned will spread throughout the Collective. La Forge accompanies Hugh to the crash site and, from a safe distance, watches the Borg recover him. Just as the Borg transport out, Hugh turns to give La Forge a parting glance. Following the Borg-based two-part episode "The Best of Both Worlds", the production team were having difficulty in introducing the Borg to the series due to their unstoppable nature.
The story idea for "I, Borg" was well received by the production staff, with executive producer Rick Berman saying that he "fell in love" with the characterisations of Guinan, Picard, La Forge and Hugh which resulted in a series of two character scenes in the episode. Story editor René Echevarria wrote the script, with an uncredited assist from executive producer Jeri Taylor, she compared the idea to the film Edward Scissorhands, saying that she felt it would become a "classic" and that the Borg "would never be the same again". Michael Piller, who wrote "The Best of Both Worlds", described "I, Borg" as having a "great premise which forces Guinan and Picard to face their own prejudices", he said. The episode was directed by Robert Lederman, his first of the series and the only new director during the fifth season. Lederman was the film editor on the series, would go on to direct the episode "Force of Nature". "I, Borg" marked the first time that Jay Chattaway scored a Borg related episode, but would continue to do so for the rest of the series and during Star Trek: Voyager.
The design of the Borg prosthetics as used in "I, Borg" was an evolution from those seen in the series. Michael Westmore's make-up team developed a removable eye-piece for Hugh, using magnets to allow the actor to remov
Odo (Star Trek)
Odo, played by René Auberjonois, is a fictional character in the science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. He is a member of a shapeshifting species called Changelings and serves as the head of security for the space station Deep Space Nine on which the show is set. Intelligent and taciturn, Odo uses his unique abilities throughout the show to maintain security on the DS9 station and aids the Bajoran people and the Federation throughout the Dominion War against his own people, the Founders; the original Writer's Bible from 1992 for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine described Odo as follows: Odo, an alien male, middle-aged curmudgeon, a shape-shifter. In his natural state he is a gelatinous liquid, he was a Bajoran law enforcement officer on the space station under the Cardassians. Starfleet decides to have him continue in that role, since he's savvy about the Promenade and all who frequent it, his backstory is: 50 years ago, with no memory of his past, he was found alone in a mysterious spacecraft that appeared in the Denarias asteroid belt.
He was lived amongst them. At first he was sort of an Elephant Man, a source of curiosity and humor as he turned himself into a chair or pencil, he realized he would have to take the form of a humanoid to assimilate and function in their environment. He resents it; as a result, Odo performs a uniquely important role in the ensemble: he is a character who explores and comments on Human values. Because he is forced to pass as one of us, his point of view comes with a cynical and critical edge, but he can't quite get it this humanoid shape, though he continues to try. So he looks a little unfinished in a way. He's been working on it a long time. Someone might ask him: Why don't you take the form of a younger man, his answer: I would if I could. He has the adopted child syndrome, searching for his own personal identity. Although he doesn't know anything about his species, he is certain that justice is an integral part of their being, because the necessity for it runs through every fiber of his body – a racial memory.
That's. He has a couple of Bajoran deputies. Actor Rene Auberjonous describes Odo as "a unformed being", "trying to get some kind of shape to his life". Co-creator of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Michael Piller, speaks of Odo's role within the show as being prompted by needing "a character who represented the traditions of Spock and Data, the outsider who looks in at humanity." Late in the fifth season, in the episode “Children of Time”, an Odo who has lived an additional 200 years tells the “current” Kira Nerys that he has loved her from the time their friendship first began. With this revelation and the “current” Odo become a couple. In the Mirror Universe, Odo is the supervisor of the mining complex at Terok Nor, he tolerates no deviation from his strict rules. Little is known of him, as no one in the Mirror Universe is aware that the wormhole exists or who Odo's people are. During a mining accident, Odo begins an evacuation of the Terran workers from the complex. Julian Bashir, seizing the opportunity to escape, disintegrates him with a disruptor.
In this reality, Odo has his own set of rules called the "Rules of Obedience" and quotes one of the rules in the same way that regular universe Quark would quote his "Rules of Acquisition". After filming of the episode "Crossover", mirror Odo's sole onscreen appearance, actor Rene Auberjonois liked the alternate uniform so much he began wearing it while playing the regular universe version of Odo as well. In the initial Deep Space Nine relaunch novels, Odo is succeeded as security chief by Ro Laren, working for the Bajoran Militia, he sent a Jem'Hadar ambassador to the Alpha Quadrant to foster understanding in the Dominion of other cultures, soon returned to DS9. In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Millennium series of novels, it is revealed that Odo shifted into smaller forms such as insects due to a psychological block from his original "training" under Doctor Mora; the novel series speculates that the Founders placed a mental block on Odo's abilities to make it difficult for him to alter his face, thus explaining why he can never get faces quite right after linking with other Changelings on several occasions.
In the Star Trek: Terok Nor novel Night of the Wolves, Odo was found in a spherical module in the Denorios Belt by the Cardassian vessel Kevalu, under the command of Dalin Malyn Ocett, in 2345. In the Star Trek: Typhon Pact novel Raise the Dawn, Odo returned to the Alpha Quadrant to help Sisko investigate reports that the Typhon Pact, an alliance of the Federation's enemies, have stolen Jem'Hadar technology to perfect their own quantum slipstream drive, only to be trapped in the Alpha Quadrant when the wormhole was destroyed thanks to Kira's attempt to stop a Typhon Pact ship from using it again. Sisko offered Odo a place on his new ship, the Robinson, but the novel ends with Odo deciding to remain on Bajor for a time to think about what he will do next. In 2009, IGN ranked Odo as the seventh best character of Star Trek overall, they note the character's search for identity as he struggles to maintain order the space station. They highlight his relationships with Sisko and Kira on the station, that he can turn into any shape except a normal human form.
In 2018, The Wrap ranked Odo as the 8th best main-cast character of Star Trek overall, noting his struggles with loyalties. Odo at Memory Alpha Odo at Memory Alpha Douglas Pabst at Memory Alpha

Wiki
A wiki is a website on which users collaboratively modify content and structure directly from the web browser. In a typical wiki, text is written using a simplified markup language and edited with the help of a rich-text editor. A wiki is run using wiki software, otherwise known as a wiki engine. A wiki engine is a type of content management system, but it differs from most other such systems, including blog software, in that the content is created without any defined owner or leader, wikis have little inherent structure, allowing structure to emerge according to the needs of the users. There are dozens of different wiki engines in use, both standalone and part of other software, such as bug tracking systems; some wiki engines are open source. Some permit control over different functions. Others may permit access without enforcing access control. Other rules may be imposed to organize content; the online encyclopedia project Wikipedia is the most popular wiki-based website, is one of the most viewed sites in the world, having been ranked in the top ten since 2007.
Wikipedia is not a single wiki but rather a collection of hundreds of wikis, with each one pertaining to a specific language. In addition to Wikipedia, there are tens of thousands of other wikis in use, both public and private, including wikis functioning as knowledge management resources, notetaking tools, community websites, intranets; the English-language Wikipedia has the largest collection of articles. Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb described wiki as "the simplest online database that could work". "Wiki" is a Hawaiian word meaning "quick". Ward Cunningham and co-author Bo Leuf, in their book The Wiki Way: Quick Collaboration on the Web, described the essence of the Wiki concept as follows: A wiki invites all users—not just experts—to edit any page or to create new pages within the wiki Web site, using only a standard "plain-vanilla" Web browser without any extra add-ons. Wiki promotes meaningful topic associations between different pages by making page link creation intuitively easy and showing whether an intended target page exists or not.
A wiki is not a crafted site created by experts and professional writers, designed for casual visitors. Instead, it seeks to involve the typical visitor/user in an ongoing process of creation and collaboration that changes the website landscape. A wiki enables communities of contributors to write documents collaboratively. All that people require to contribute is a computer, Internet access, a web browser, a basic understanding of a simple markup language. A single page in a wiki website is referred to as a "wiki page", while the entire collection of pages, which are well-interconnected by hyperlinks, is "the wiki". A wiki is a database for creating and searching through information. A wiki allows non-linear, evolving and networked text, while allowing for editor argument and interaction regarding the content and formatting. A defining characteristic of wiki technology is the ease with which pages can be created and updated. There is no review by a moderator or gatekeeper before modifications are accepted and thus lead to changes on the website.
Many wikis are open to alteration by the general public without requiring registration of user accounts. Many edits can be made in real-time and appear instantly online, but this feature facilitates abuse of the system. Private wiki servers require user authentication to edit pages, sometimes to read them. Maged N. Kamel Boulos, Cito Maramba, Steve Wheeler write that the open wikis produce a process of Social Darwinism. "'Unfit' sentences and sections are ruthlessly culled and replaced if they are not considered'fit', which results in the evolution of a higher quality and more relevant page. While such openness may invite'vandalism' and the posting of untrue information, this same openness makes it possible to correct or restore a'quality' wiki page." Some wikis have an Edit button or link directly on the page being viewed, if the user has permission to edit the page. This can lead to a text-based editing page where participants can structure and format wiki pages with a simplified markup language, sometimes known as Wikitext, Wiki markup or Wikicode.
For example, starting lines of text with asterisks could create a bulleted list. The style and syntax of wikitexts can vary among wiki implementations, some of which allow HTML tags. Wikis have favoured plain-text editing, with fewer and simpler conventions than HTML, for indicating style and structure. Although limiting access to HTML and Cascading Style Sheets of wikis limits user ability to alter the structure and formatting of wiki content, there are some benefits. Limited access to CSS promotes consistency in the look and feel, having JavaScript disabled prevents a user from implementing code that may limit other users' access. Wikis can make WYSIWYG editing available to users by means of JavaScript control that translates graphically entered formatting instructions into the corresponding HTML tags or wikitext. In those implementations, the markup of a newly edited, marked-up version of the page is generated and submitted to the server transparently, shielding the user from this technical detail.
An example of this is the VisualEditor on Wikipedia. WYSIWYG controls do not, always provide
