Dec 11, 1996 · It's amazing how much the two UPN Trek series gleaned from this movie. From the fourth season on, it was "Borg, Borg, Borg, and more Borg" from Star Trek: Voyager (in fact they'll use the term "first contact" constantly). And hell, Star Trek: Enterprise was pretty much created from this movie with the introduction of the Vulcans in ST:FC.
