-The fleet is standing by, sir!

-Wait, we still gotta watch some people die while I'm standing still in silence...Ok, now you can fire.

Perhaps today is a good day to die, prepare for ramming speed!

Best line in the movie.

Perhaps next time Picard tell the fleet were to fire phasers BEFORE the admiral's ship gets destroyed.

@c0p13dn4m3 EXACTLY! WTF?

@BrettJRipley

You don't rent a backhoe and a cement mixer to deal with fire ants.

The Borg didn't know about Data's trick with Locutus to make the cube destruct.

And if they had known, then it wouldn't have worked, and the one cube WOULD have been enough.

@wesker723 Of course you can't forget part of Star Fleet's abysmal performance at Wolf 359 was because Locutus knew all their tactics and battle strategies so the Borg could effectively counter every attack formation the fleet made against them. It should also be noted that this fleet seems to have caused more damage than in the previous encounter. It's possible with more ships they could have destroyed it. But not likely with the strength they had present.

@BrettJRipley it explains in the books. If you follow the series this movie is cannon with deep space 9 and TNG. In the entire TNG series only 1 cube came from the delta quadrant with the purpose of attacking earth. Nobody could stop it and 1000s people died at wolf 359 defending earth. When data hacked the signal from piccard the borg were defenseless and self destructed. The borg intelligence "knows" that the federation does not have the fire power of harming them yet hence 1 cube sent.

I love this scene, the sounds effects are great. Also love the little ship that fires over enterprise. I never liked time travel though. Why didn't the time travel police take action against them. Also I think the borg are in combat with the entire universe not just with earth so that's probably why they don't send more than one ship. I hated the way they brought a queen into it also. Was better that they where more like a virus or a collective with out a leader.

[horaciosi]

(1:02) Awww, maybe you should have invited Picard to the battle, that way the cube would have been destroyed in seconds and the admiral (and millions of people) wouldn't die.....(1:27-2:15) I rest my case.

Sorry for my shitty english

[BrettJRipley]

why do they only send one ship?, why don't they just send 50 and Earth would have been easily theirs

@Usercool What about: "If you were any other man I would kill you where you stand!"

Admitedly, Word Owns this Film, and DS9

@UnknownXV I would have loved the borg to time travel back to the alternate universe...
