LAFORGE: Yeah, but there's only one of you. Do you have a name? A means of identification?
BORG: Third of five.
I can't help but feel that a unimatrix or cube number should be attached to this designation.

Agreed.

The Borg have been around long enough to debug themselves to avoid logic loops. Furthermore, this seems like a plan that some other race would've tried a long time ago.

Most things the Federation tries seems like something that someone would have already tried long ago.
Fiver is pretty good.

Captain's Log: We are mapping the star systems of the Argolis Cluster, where we have found an abundance of curious asteroids shaped like spheres, cubes and octahedra. I look forward to seeing what other oddities we will discover in the next system on our route.

I'm sure this is a reference . . . ?

Data: This is the final design for the paradox virus.
Picard: It looks harmless enough. How does it work?
La Forge: I disguised it as an election-year campaign leaflet. It promises to cut taxes and balance the budget while eliminating the national debt and increasing public spending.
There are some politics jokes that never get old.

Indeed.

I think they would be able to recognize a low-importance process and not let it take over their entire processing capabilities. This is really something you spring on the Borg during a battle to slow them down a bit, perhaps, rather than expect them to gum themselves up at leisure.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The captain should know about the immediate family of at least the senior staff.

At the bare minimum, he should know if his First Officer's father is an important ambassador from a core Foundation world, am I right?
"The Next Phase" is a good fiver too, nothing sticks out though.
