>>98459850When I was a kid I did not like what Picard did in that episode. You had a Borg killer! Why not use it! You're letting people die!
But then I thought about it form his point of view. He was saved. Hugh was saved. If he and Hugh are still people even after being assimilated. Then who is he to kill billions of people who could be saved.
It's a Superman-esque decision. Better to risk people dying forever than to eliminate saving just one person.
Sisko would have done it. He would have done it without losing a night's sleep. He can live with it.
Which is why First Contact should have been a Picard vs Sisko movie
