Which is what would make the confrontation between the 'original' crew so interesting, in my mind anyways. Pit them against a foe that they never encountered in the show or movies.

23rd century tech would never be useful against the Borg. The Federation didn't invent technology capable of really hurting them until the late 24th century, i.e. First Contact time.

Well as a result of the new timeline the Federation has future tech in the form of Spock Prime's personal ship, and maybe some bits of the Narada survived as well. Something could have potentially been reverse engineered and then expanded upon.

And even if that stuff isn't ever used, it be interesting to see Kirk and company survive because of their wits rather than because of weapons. Pit them against something new and see how this cast reacts.

Unless you count hand-to-hand combat, judging by 'First Contact'. :)

I actually saw a collection of the TNG movies next to the box set of the TOS movies that I picked up. I considered getting it for approximately 1.5 seconds. Then I remembered how shitty three out of the four films were.

I can't remember when the Borg were beaten with wits rather than force.

Good point there. But that doesn't work against Borg vessels :P

I pick up First Contact on Blu-Ray last night. I need to pick up Star Trek II, III, IV, VI and Star Trek '09 on Blu-Ray. I like to collect the movies that I like. I might get TMP in my collection depending on the mood that I'm in.

The Borg would simply adapt against the reversed engineered "stuff" so really its a moot point. There would be no real advantage. Check out these videos about the Borg since you don't know about them. Different universe but its an interesting set of videos - a good watch.

Thanks for the links, but I'm going to hold off on 'em in case I wind up just giving the original material a go :)

Which means it could potentially lead to some exciting and entirely new sequences!

Hold off no longer, FOO'EL! Just remember, the golden rule for all the series (TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT) the first 2-3 seasons are usually kinda bad. They all take a few years to blossom. That said, they're pretty damn good sci fi (for the most part).

But he thought about it for Zero-point-six-eight seconds.

For an android

That is nearly an eternity.
