BORG: Parasites or symbionts?

In this special episode, Kelley and Eryn wonder out loud for like 27 minutes whether that assimilation life is really so bad… biologically speaking. Topics include tongues with smiley faces, USB Steve Carrell, standing against Hugh erasure, real-life microscopic self-reproducing biological robots, and our resident Purrengi, Soft, who was thankfully quiet the whole show. We are so desperate for Picard Season 2 to end so we can follow our “no current season” rule and finally talk about the dang Borg skull. So, so desperate.
