Star Trek: Picard - 4 Ups & 5 Downs From Et In Arcadia Ego (Part 1)

UPS

4. In Fairness, That Looked *Really* Cool

Disclaimer, I don't own a subwoofer at home, but if I had then the moment that Borg Cube broke through the transwarp threshold would like have shattered my windows, evaporated my fillings, and sent me eyes shooting out through the back of my head into the wall. I have rewatched it about 100 times now, and I will watch it 100 more.

It doesn't even matter that it arrived and did nothing, or that it got taken out by three... space... flowers?? it's easily the best VFX shot in the entire show and viscerally makes you sit bolt upright when it hits. The sounds, the visual, the smoke, the slow-pan, it's awe-inspiring.

Hopefully, it's not the last we see of the Cube doing something like this because, as I've already mentioned, it currently feels like it's been a huge waste if it's merely just a backdrop for shadowy conversations between two siblings with unhealthy levels of sexual tension.
