Storyline
Admiral J. P. Hanson personally boarded the Enterprise to join the investigation of a destroyed Federation-colonized planet, suspecting the feared Borg. Before this is confirmed, he points out Commander William T. Riker has for the third time refused a captains helm, indeed he prefers the Enterprise. Shortly after an enormous Borg ship is found, it engages in battle with the Enterprise, which draws it away. Novel tactics are conceived. But first Captain Jean-Luc Picard is told to come aboard for unprecedented discussions only to find they tolerate no resistance, and intend to turn him into a Borg. Riker suddenly finds himself acting captain ad infinitum... Written by KGF Vissers

Trivia
Originally supposed to be a three part episode. The battle at Wolf 359 was originally going to be shown as well. Additionally, both Picard and Data were supposed to be assimilated by the Borg and be combined as one unit. Budgetary concerns forced producers to edit the story down to a two part episode.

During every subspace communication scene with Admiral Hanson, he is not reflected in the conference room table. This reveals that Hanson's image was superimposed in post-production. See more »Quotes

ST:TNG:74 - "The Best Of Both Worlds, Part I" (Stardate: 43989.1) - this is the 26th and last episode of the 3rd season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
The Borg are back! The last time they were encountered was 7000 light years away in the 2nd season episode "Q Who?", with Starfleet thinking they'd have more time to prepare. Regardless, the Enterprise goes to intercept - with Elizabeth Dennehy as Commander Shelby. She has more than the Borg on her mind, wanting to replace Riker who has been offered command of the Melbourne. As tensions mount between Riker and Shelby, Picard is captured by the Borg!
Watch this part I of an exciting two part episode. You won't be disappointed.
Trivia note: Riker is offered his 3rd chance of commanding a starship. Also, we see the poker game again (this time Wesley joins in on the fun). And Whoopi Goldberg makes another appearance as Guinan.
