The Borg again? I don't know... It seems they muddle up their mythology a little more with every appearence. What's more to be said? I think they've gone to that well a bit too often. I got enough closure from their outings in First Contact and the finale of Voyager.
What was missing from Enterprise, and what I would like to see return, is the sense of mystery and the unknown. The notion that the universe is bizarre and exists beyond our understanding was a staple of TOS and much of TNG. Remember when a "spatial anomoly" was actually worrying, and "reversing the process" wasn't an option?
Again, I'd rather they didn't get bogged down with canon and political machinations.
Set a crew free and put them out of their depth. After all, that's what the Borg was really all about in the beginning. Introducing them just was Q's way of knocking some humility into the Federation, and reminding them that the universe does not revolve around their pesky blue marble.
What else is out there? That's what I'd like to explore.
