Within the mythos of Star Trek, the concept of the hive mind of the Borg is one of the best double-edged swords in all of science fiction. But, on the other hand, being part of the Collective is sometimes ephorphic, and is presented as the ultimate cure for loneliness. And while the Star Trek franchise has done a good job at exploring alternate takes on the Borg in recent years, one sci-fi show is doing the same thing, but in a new, very realistic way. However, by the end of the episode, both Carol and Manousos literally can't survive without the Others, without the hive mind of the Joining. Well, if this were a Star Trek episode, the message would be clear: the Borg Collective can save your life.
