The Best Star Trek Movie Only Happened Because One Man Saved Picard’s Greatest Foe
By Chris Snellgrove
| Published
Outside of the Klingons, the most legendary foe in Star Trek is arguably the Borg, whose nearly-unstoppable cybernetic warriors have come close to wiping out the Federation on a number of occasions. While these baddies were thought to be defeated in the series finale of Voyager, they popped up yet again to torment the titular hero of Picard across multiple seasons. However, what most fans don’t realize is that we would have possibly never heard from the Borg after The Next Generation if not for the late, great executive producer, Michael Piller.
Piller is, in a very real way, the man who saved TNG: he became showrunner in Season 3, ushering in an era of better uniforms, bigger sets, and infinitely improved writing. In Season 6, the writer of the two-part, Borg-centric episode “Descent” was unsure how to broach the fact that the Enterprise crew returned a freed Borg (Hugh) back to the Collective. This could theoretically change their entire race, and while “Descent” dealt with Borg who had been infected with individuality, the episode never specified just how many Borg were affected by Hugh’s return.
My Borg Friend’s Back (And There’s Gonna Be Trouble)
That was actually Michael Piller’s suggestion, and he thought the episode would be stronger if it left that matter as an open question for the fans. Understandably, these episodes led to intense online speculation and more than a few Star Trek convention arguments about whether the Borg were now completely different. Previously, they had been like robot zombies driven by the monolithic will of their Collective; however, the Borg in “Descent,” after reabsorbing Hugh (a Borg who developed an identity of his own), were basically just a bunch of independent-minded thugs being bossed around by Data’s evil brother.
While Star Trek fans generally liked “Descent,” the fandom was almost collective in its dislike of the new Borg. Having them team up with another villain made for some good temporary drama, and it led to a really great episode for Brent Spiner’s Data. But as villains, the Borg had arguably lost everything that made them cool or unique in the first place.
Resistance Was Futile
That’s why it was such a relief when these villains showed up as their old selves in Star Trek: First Contact. Sure, some things were new (mostly, the fact that they now had a creepy Queen), but these guys were mostly back to being the shambling, unstoppable robot zombies that terrified fans in the first place. This movie served as a kind of creative reset for these villains, and most future appearances of the Borg (from their many appearances in Voyager to their final appearance in Picard) focused on them as a Collective rather than a group of individuals.
None of that would have been possible, however, without Michael Piller. He was the one who suggested that “Descent” writer Ronald D. Moore should never specify how many Borg had transformed into individuals once Hugh’s freed personality had been absorbed into the Collective. At the time, many fans hoped that it would just be a small segment of the Borg that were affected, and the rest of the Collective had remained unchanged; those hopes were paid off in First Contact, a movie whose plot would have been impossible if Piller hadn’t saved the Borg from becoming generic villains.
Creatively speaking, this was both a blessing and a curse; the Borg eventually became wildly oversaturated in the franchise, with every new appearance making them feel a bit less special. Nonetheless, though, they remain the most legendary foes from the Golden Age of Star Trek, and they would have faded into obscurity if not for the intervention of Michael Piller. In this way, the man who saved Picard’s first show also saved the foes who would make the captain’s life a living hell for decades to come.
From lovers to being at odds, and then co-parents, the former lovebirds have truly entertained the media with their evolving relationship. Their decision to put their differences aside and prioritize family comes with high consideration of stability for their kids.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye ‘Ye’ West met back in 2012 and tied the knot two years later. They remained together, welcoming four children till she filed for divorce in 2021. The reality TV star has recently decided to give herself another chance at love with her new rumored boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton.

Kim Kardashian Gets Candid On The Status Of Her Relationship With Kanye West
Kardashian opened up about how much her relationship with Ye has changed throughout the years and where they stand currently. She revealed that their previously strained relationship has seen some positive light as they have found a way to co-parent their kids peacefully.
“We’ll always be family, “We both know that. We will be okay, and there’s so much love for our family. We want what’s best for our kids,” she said, hinting at how far they’ve come as a family.
The TV star said these after she was asked about when she praised her ex’s designs for the Yeezy brand while sporting a Yeezy heel in Aspen. She added, “I couldn’t deny the Yeezy heel, so I had to shout it out.”

Kardashian was seen in full support mode of her ex’s brand on social media when she shared a video of her outfits rocking the Yezzy boots. As shared by Complex in her latest cover story, the mother of four stressed:
“I will say, there’s nothing like a Yeezy heel. I don’t know if they ever made these or just made them for me. I love when a shoe is tonal to the pant.”
A significant piece of evidence that the former lovers were making an effort to put their issues aside because of their children was seen during the holidays as they celebrated Christmas together.

The Former Couple’s Bond Revived Because Of Their Daughter
The reality TV star shared details on how her relationship with the artist began to thrive after years of being at odds due to their eldest daughter, North.
Since their very public split, the couple barely saw eye to eye on several matters, and their quarrels often became internet sensations, but as North spiked an interest in music, they put their issues on the back burner.
Kardashian shared this while talking to her sister on the “Khloé in Wonderland” podcast, and Khloé affirmed, saying, “You guys are in a much better place.”
The mom of four admitted that music and producing are not her strong suits, as they are with Ye. The Daily Mail shared that she affirmed that North and her dad bond over music.

“But even just like coming up with stuff, we have to communicate about how North moves through that world and all these opportunities that come her way and having to filter that and like respecting his opinion on the things that go on with his kids is really important,” Kardashian added.
Finally, she reiterated that for the sake of their kids, they have to put every other thing aside.

The Record Producer Had A Hard Time With His Divorce
The end of Ye’s marriage was the beginning of a myriad of challenges. His behavior changed in the following years, costing him a lot in his career. Public isolation ensued for the rapper as major brands cut ties, industry invitations ceased, and longtime supporters grew distant.
As shared by The Blast, Ye’s mental state took a downward dive, and he started echoing words about the Jews whenever he was having an episode. “Well, the Jews killed Jesus, so they’re evil,” he would often say when he was feeling antisemitic. It got worse when he praised Nazis, wore swastikas, and released the song “Heil Hitler,” which resulted in bans from Australia and Brazil.
This led to more career fails as his income streams dropped and touring opportunities to certain countries went out the door. He apologized to New York Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto during a closed-door meeting later in November, showing deep remorse for his actions.

Kardashian And Ye Are Trying To Make Things Work
As earlier stated, the former couple is pulling out all the stops to ensure a healthy coparenting relationship. They spent Christmas together as a family, and the rapper has been actively working on himself. Not only are they building themselves, but also, Ye’s new partner, Bianca Censori, is building a relationship with the children.
North shared a selfie on her recently launched Instagram account of herself smiling and sitting next to Censori while they FaceTimed Babyxsosa. The Blast also notes that she has been spotted hanging out with Psalm, Saint, and Chicago as well.
North performed in the Lion King Concert event in 2024, where she sang “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King,” and her parents were there together supporting her. Kardashian also said that Ye not only showed up for the show but also came to rehearsals and gave his input to production.

Kim Kardashian Is Having A Swell Time With New Romance
Since her divorce from the songwriter, Kardashian has been back in the dating pool, linked to several men, including Pete Davidson and Odell Beckham. Currently, the 45-year-old has been spotted with racecar driver Lewis Hamilton despite their attempts to keep things low-key.
The Blast shares that Kardashian and Hamilton have been longtime friends, but since their recent sightings in the U.K and Paris, it appears that they have taken their relationship a notch further. As per sources close to the pair, they are just having fun and keeping things casual for now.
They have a friends-with-benefits relationship going for now as they are not dating exclusively. Reportedly, Hamilton is not looking to settle down soon nor be a stepdad. For now, they are focused on enjoying romantic moments together, like the intimate dinner and spa date they had in the United Kingdom.
A massive shoutout to Kim Kardashian and Kanye ‘Ye’ West for coming this far!

The Couple Made Their Baby Announcement In September
In September 2025, the couple revealed that they were expecting their third child with a joint Instagram Video post captioned “Third time’s a charm! Baby #3 coming this winter [white heart emoji].”

The Musician Was Nervous To Become A First-Time Father
The loving couple became a family of three in June 2022 when their eldest son, Tex Lawrence, was born. Combs admitted that although he was excited to become a parent, there was a nuance of nervousness that engulfed him at the thought of becoming a father for the first time.
A year later, in August 2023, their second son, Beau Lee, was born. In 2024, the artist told PEOPLE that his sons were his source of inspiration for his album “Fathers & Sons.”
He said that he wants them to be able to look back later in life and see that even through a successful career, they were still his priority. He added, “If anyone’s dad had the opportunity to do something like that, I think that they would take it. At least I would hope so. I did it for them.”
Comb showed that amid his busy schedule, he spends quality time with his children via a series of rare photos he shared on social media. One showed the boys lying on the floor playing with their toys, another featured Combs playing the guitar while Beau bounced in an exersaucer.

Inside Nicole Hocking And Luke Combs’ Relationship
Combs and Hocking became friends through their mutual friends shortly after she moved to Nashville in 2014. Two years later, they crossed paths at a songwriters’ festival in Florida and began dating shortly after.
They went Instagram official after Hocking shared a picture of them in March 2017, and after this, more cute moments were captured. The singer proposed to the love of his life in November 2018 and tied the knot two years later in an intimate ceremony in Florida.
He gave fans a rare glimpse of their wedding in the music video for “Forever After All.” The 35-year-old announced that their family was expanding in January 2022, writing, “Here we go y’all! Lil dude Combs is coming this Spring, couldn’t be more excited to start a family with this babe.”
US Magazine notes that the couple mark milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, and celebrations with heartfelt posts on their different social media accounts.

The Country Singer Was Caught In A Legal Fiasco With A Fan
A $250,000 lawsuit was filed on behalf of the country singer against a fan, Nicole Harness, for selling merchandise with Combs’ face on it. Harness, at the time of the lawsuit, had sold about 18 Luke Combs-themed Tumblers on her Amazon store.
The judge ruled that Harness was to pay Combs the court-ordered amount and all future sales from her store would go to the singer till the $250K was paid in full.
Combs was initially unaware of the lawsuit, as he revealed he employs a company that goes after large corporations operating internationally that make millions from counterfeit t-shirts and run illegal businesses.
The Blast shared that the 35-year-old was saddened that Harness had gotten wrapped up in the situation, and he sent a heartfelt apology to her. He described it as a misunderstanding and also went a step further, inviting her and her family to a show so he could apologize in real time and hug her.
Congratulations to Luke Combs!
General Hospital exposes Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) home with Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), and she is not holding back anymore. She dropped a few bombshells on Drew to let him know what she’s done. Honestly, there’s no telling what Willow has in store for Drew.
We’re going to talk about how Willow plans to torture Drew now that he is at her mercy and she wants some payback for him controlling her life for so long. The question is, is he going to come out of this in one piece?
Willow Tait’s Shocking Confession and Drew Cain’s Locked-In Syndrome on General Hospital
All right, so we just saw Willow stun everybody at General Hospital with her decision to bring Drew home for her to take care of, although she did say she’s going to hire in some help. Drew knows already that Willow caused his stroke because she stabbed Drew in the neck with a syringe. Right after Willow injected him, Drew collapsed, reaching his hand out for her with a look of shock on his face.
He knows she did that to him, but now he’s wound up with locked-in syndrome and he can’t tell anybody what Willow did. He couldn’t say anything about her taking him home from the hospital. Once she got Drew home, Willow showed Drew her rage right away. She pulled off the mask and dropped a big, bad truth bomb on him.
I loved seeing Willow tell Drew that she’s the one who shot him twice in the back. Although he can’t say anything to Willow, you could see that Drew is in utter shock. The good thing is Cameron Mathison has those big eyes that he can express things with. In a recent interview, Katelyn MacMullen said she thinks Willow didn’t want Drew dead, just incapacitated.
The Secret Witnesses: Can Kai & Trina Save Drew?
It sounds like Willow intended to disable Drew to get some form of long, slow revenge. Now he knows Willow shot him with intent to kill, but that failed to take his life. With Drew still alive, it seems like Willow decided to go another route and she caused Drew’s catastrophic stroke.
He cannot tell a soul what Willow did. As long as Drew has locked-in syndrome, that’s not going to change. As of now, Willow assumes that Drew is going to be stuck like this for a very long time based on the prognosis she got from Lucas Jones (Van Hansis). Willow made it clear to Drew that he has got to listen to her.
There is one guardrail in place she doesn’t know about – Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) and Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) know that Willow shot Drew. Kai shut down Trina when she demanded that he quit working for Drew.
He told Trina he can’t do that because he needs to keep an eye on Willow and try to protect Drew in case he’s in ongoing danger. Kai can’t be there all the time, but thankfully, Willow doesn’t know that Kai knows she shot Drew, or she might turn on Kai, too.
Willow’s Survival Mode: Why She Feels Drew Cain Quartermaine is a Threat on GH
In another recent interview, Katelyn MacMullen talked about where exactly Willow’s head is at right now. She said, “The big show that Willow’s putting on where she’s acting distraught over Drew’s stroke is somewhat legit.” The Willow actress said, “I think part of her is devastated that it has to happen.”
She said Willow’s not proud of what she’s been doing, but she’s in survival mode and felt like she had no choice when it came to Drew. The actress also said that Willow thinks with Drew in the picture, she’s not safe and nobody around her is safe either. Since Willow failed to kill Drew by shooting him, him being incapacitated is the next best thing on General Hospital.
Willow’s in control now and Drew is totally powerless. Willow’s calling the shots and is very happy about it. She referred to Drew as her captive audience and she seems very pleased that he’s basically her prisoner because he’s trapped in this cage that is his body. Willow has big plans and she expects Drew to be at her mercy for a good long while.
Torture Tactics: How Willow Plans to Pay Back Drew Cain Quartermaine on General Hospital
Let’s talk about exactly what Willow may do to Drew. There’s the big question of how far Willow will go and, long term, if Drew is going to survive being cared for by his not-so-loving wife. The first thing I can see on Willow’s agenda is to pay back Drew for her losing her kids, which she totally blames him for.
Willow just won 40% custody of Wiley Quartermaine Corinthos (Viron Weaver) and Amelia Grace Corinthos (Sequoia and Serenity Mork Macko), but that doesn’t make up for the time she lost with them because of Drew.
I think Willow may keep Scout Cain (Cosette Abinante) away from Drew. She already has Scout staying with Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). As long as the lady lawyer is playing nice with her, Willow is probably going to drop the restraining orders against all of them because she’s got the power of attorney.
That includes Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn) so that he can see his sister Scout. Willow can just explain to Alexis that she thinks Scout seeing her dad like this might be really traumatic.
They may agree to limit Scout’s time with Drew or totally keep her away from him for the foreseeable future. Losing Scout will enrage and devastate Drew, but there’s nothing he can do about it.
Physical and Psychological Revenge in the General Hospital Plot
Second, Willow may do some smaller aggressions—just more kind of icky, annoying things. She might feed Drew icky food, slop, gruel, or vegetables she knows he hates all mushed up. Willow may want to make sure that Drew has no strength left in him so there’s no way he can recover or fight back. Plus, it would be harmless but pretty petty payback.
The third thing I could see is Willow drugging Drew to discourage visitors from sticking around too long and to keep him weak, pliable, and under control to slow down any chance of recovery. Also, if Willow sees that Drew is trying to communicate with any visitors, drugging him would put a stop to that.
The fourth thing I could see is that Willow could be really cruel and hurt Drew physically. Willow can’t do anything that would leave a lasting mark or a bruise, but she could pinch Drew, slap him, or stick him with pins. She can engage in mental cruelty and verbal abuse, which don’t leave marks except on your psyche, and I think she feels like Drew deserves all that.
Deep-Seeded Rage: Willow Tait’s History with Controlling Men
The last thing I think Willow might do, which would be totally cruel, is bring over some other man to fool around with in front of Drew since he was sleeping with her mom, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), behind her back. I could see Willow thinking, “Okay, this is some kind of payback I want to do, too.”
She could bring home some random person and make sure Drew saw them together, or maybe someone like Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) who might enjoy something kinky like that because he’s a perv.
I think really nothing is off-limits for Willow right now. This is more than just her getting revenge on Drew for what he did to her life; Willow may be looking for revenge for all the wrongs that a lot of men have done to her, past and present, both actual and perceived.
Willow spent years under Shiloh’s controlling thumb. He raped her with her adoptive mom Harmony’s blessing. Her dad ditched Willow and left her in that cult life. Plus, she sees herself as a victim of Michael Corinthos‘ (Rory Gibson) because he kept the kids from her. She totally blames Michael for all that.
This is Willow’s opportunity to let out all this simmering rage that’s been building up her whole life. I think she’s going to unleash it on Drew while he’s helpless. Honestly, aside from Kai, I don’t think anybody would care even if they did find out that Willow’s torturing Drew.

According to multiple outlets … cops were dispatched to a home near Ooltewah — about two and a half hours outside of Nashville — for a report of CPR in progress.
After arriving on the scene, cops say they located the victim and attempted life-saving measures, but she later succumbed to her injuries.
Detectives responded to the scene … with preliminary findings indicating the death was a result of a homicide. Lee was then identified as the suspect and taken into custody at the scene.
Lee has reportedly been charged with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. According to jail records, he is being held without bond and has a court appearance scheduled for this coming Wednesday.
After playing at The Ohio State University — winning the national championship in 2014 — he was drafted by the Jets with the 20th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. He spent three years with Gang Green … racking up 241 total tackles, 17 for a loss and four sacks.
In 2019, he joined the Kansas City Chiefs for one season, totaling 31 tackles in 16 games. He would then sign with the Buffalo Bills … playing two games in Western New York.
It’s not the first time the 31-year-old has been arrested … he was booked for assault and domestic violence in Ohio back in 2023 — later pleading guilty as part of a plea deal.

NBA YoungBoy never fails to get the timeline’s attention whenever he decides to pop out. The rapper recently took to X to get a few things off his chest, quickly sparking reactions across social media. Amid his rant, the father of Dejounte Murray appeared to enter the chat. That caused a little tension on the timeline, as Dejounte is currently dating Jania Meshell, the mother of one of NBA YoungBoy’s sons. Following the backlash, it’s clear Dejounte wants no part of the online back-and-forth.

One Of NBA YoungBoy’s Children’s Mothers Catches A Stray As He Goes Off On X
On Wednesday, the rapper took to X with a series of heated tweets. “I’m gon keep it real, all the ‘P’s’ just lame dudes with money. Y’all bag keep these h****, I’m him. N**** f*** you,” he wrote. He later appeared to address one of his children’s mothers, writing, “And to my baby mama, f*** this industry h** stuff. I don’t like you neither. Let me pop out.”
The rapper didn’t stop there.
“Privacya b****, I don’t like ya!!” he added, before continuing, “Ooh… I want one of you b**** to say something today. I been waiting!! And you ain’t bout no murder.” In the series of cryptic tweets, he continued to go off, leaving the timeline trying to piece together who he was referring to.
Dejounte Reacts After His Father’s Advice To YB Sparks A Seemingly Fiery Response
Following YB’s tweets, it appears that Dejounte Murray’s father entered the chat under a post resharing the tweets. In his response, he suggested that money does not guarantee happiness and encouraged the rapper to focus on personal growth and healing.
He wrote, “This proves that money doesn’t make you happy for long. You gotta attach yourself to some outdoor activities and enjoy life. I’ve hardly ever seen this man post positive thoughts. Hopefully he can find a good therapist because growing up in the hood will have you looking at every situation on a toxic level. Pick your battles, young man.”
He tweeted, “Oh man, you unexpected, old a***,” before adding, “But f**** you pops, you’ll get slapped tf out. Let me fight with my h**, bruh. I’m not even talking ’bout that one #fool.” The posts left the timeline believing the message was aimed at Dejounte’s dad, as the rapper seemingly warned him to mind his business.
Many NBA YoungBoy supporters then flooded Dejounte Murray’s father’s page, calling him out over his comments. In response, he shared a video captioned, “My own experience. I’m headed to the beach & y’all be too soft and always getting in your feelings over celebrities that don’t give a f about you. Go get some money and seek help if you’re miserable.”
In the clip, he played YoungBoy’s song ‘Kacey Talk,’ making it clear he doesn’t have an issue with the rapper. He also expressed love for YoungBoy’s son, referring to him as his own grandson, while clapping back at critics in the comments.
While supporters also began flooding Dejounte’s comment section, he subtly reacted. He liked a comment under his recent post that read, “Y’all slow… Whatever his dad and YB got going don’t got nun to do with him!”
Meanwhile, Jania Is Loving Her Brand New Car
Before the drama unfolded, Dejounte Murray was outside showing love to his girlfriend, Jania Meshell. Lately, the couple has kept the drama off the internet and only popped out when they’re boo’d up. On Tuesday, Jania showed off her brand-new all-black 2026 Range Rover on TikTok, captioning the post, “New 2026 Range Rover. Thanks to my man.”
Social Media Reacts
Folks gathered under The Shade Room Teens to see what’s going on with NBA YoungBoy. Some are still trying to figure out who the rapper was referring to in his initial tweets. Others argued that Dejounte’s father didn’t say anything wrong in his advice. Meanwhile, some supporters clapped back, saying the father should’ve minded his business.

‘Heated Rivalry’ François Arnaud
Guess I’m Skating Pretty Close With Connor Storrie!!!
Published
François Arnaud might be choking on that “none of your f***ing business” line he tossed at Andy Cohen … ’cause the rumors about him dating Connor Storrie are getting louder, steamier, and a lot harder to dodge!
TMZ snagged photos of the two actors settling in for a cozy dinner at the old-school, fancy Smoke House in Burbank … and while there wasn’t full-on PDA, the energy was very much date night. Dim lighting, nonstop laughs, and that locked-in, only-you-exist vibe said plenty.
There’s no denying the chemistry here — and if this is the real deal, François better brace himself for even more backlash from diehard “Heated Rivalry” fans who seriously struggle separating fantasy from real life. Even NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has said he is a big fan.
For those not fully caught up — Connor plays half of a forbidden, fan-obsessed romance with Hudson Williams’ character Shane Hollander in the steamy, queer hockey drama — and viewers are deep in their feelings. So deep, in fact, that when Connor was first spotted with François — who plays Scott Hunter in the show — at JFK earlier mid-June, the internet spiral got ugly fast … including reported death threats.
Bottom line — the frenzy isn’t slowing down. Whether this turns into a full-blown IRL romance or not, fans (and Andy Cohen) may want to cool it, stop fanning the flames, and wait for S2 to get their fix of Connor/Shane’s on-screen chemistry.

And lucky for Connor and François? The show’s already been renewed … meaning they’ll be seeing a whole lot more of each other, one way or another.

A Quick Timeline Of Alabama And Bhad Bhabie’s History
Once friends, Alabama Barker and Bhabie had a falling out in 2024 after she accused Alabama of stealing her boyfriend, Le Vaugn. At the time, Alabama denied those claims. However, the accusations sparked heated exchanges between the two online and even included diss tracks.
Following their feud, Bhabie shared videos discussing a miscarriage with her on-and-off ex-boyfriend LeVaugn and alleged abuse claims. Alabama responded in the comments: “Even though we had our differences, I don’t support the way he treats her & she doesn’t deserve it.”
By October 2025, Bhabie confirmed she was single and officially done with LeVaugn.
