    For context I recently posted a screenshot I took in Star Trek Online on r/STO and I had a rather odd comment from another redditor and I was hoping somebody might be able to shed some light on this. On the screenshot (below in the spoiler tag) I put some text on there that states "We are the Borg". I then received a comment on the thread stating that its correctly stated as "We are Borg". Here is a screenshot of the following conversation:

    The question I want to ask is First Contact not considered canon? I've looked into this and I can't seem to find a definitive answer, I've looked at several depictions of the Star Trek Timeline.

    This is the screenshot posted to reddit in question:

    I think they're either just trolling or actually think its not canon since all star trek films are considered canon, I think.

    Abstract from Memory Alpha:

    "Canon is a sanctioned or accepted group or body of related works. The Star Trek canon is generally defined as all released television series and feature films."

    Everything that has been aired, TV series or films, are canon.

    Thanks for the input guys! I figured it was canon because as I said the ENT episode Regeneration confirms it happened in the prime timeline.

    I've always considered it to be canon. I honestly don't think that person fully understands what "retcon" and "canon" are.

    There is one other part of Trek that references First Contact, in Voyager's Year of Hell, Torres and Kim are trapped in a Jefferies Tube and they're playing a game to pass time, and one of the questions was to guess the name of the first human Warp Ship. Seven blatently says that the Borg were present during that time.

    Day 47
    [Turbolift]
    TORRES: When are they going to get us out of here?
    KIM: Try to relax. Let's get back to the game. Grace Kelly. Cat burglars. The Riviera. Name the title and the male lead.
    TORRES: To Catch A Thief.
    KIM: Right.
    TORRES: Clark Gable.
    KIM: Eeek. Wrong. Cary Grant.
    TORRES: I've seen the holographic version twice. It's Clark Gable.
    KIM: I think you're getting them confused because they have the same initials. It was Grant.
    TORRES: No more twentieth century entertainment. I'm terrible at it. My turn. Category, athletics.
    KIM: Fire away.
    TORRES: A notorious athlete. Parrises Squares championship finals. A controversial decision.
    KIM: M'Kota R'Cho. The first and only Klingon to play the game. In the finals of 2342 one of the referees called a penalty against his team. R'Cho strangled him.
    TORRES: Impressive.
    KIM: You're looking at a true sports aficionado. Let's see, how about interstellar history?
    TORRES: Oh, great. You pick the one subject I almost failed at the Academy. Go ahead and ask - ah!
    KIM: Are you all right?
    TORRES: It just hurts a little. Feels like we've been here for days.
    KIM: Actually it's been about six hours. Try to hang on, B'Elanna. Emergency crews are going find us any minute. Come on, hurry up!
    TORRES: Go ahead, ask your stupid question before I pass out and you don't have anybody to play with.
    KIM: Okay. Erm, it's a famous ship. Er, pre-warp civilization. Er, Montana. Er, second stage had chemical engines.
    TORRES: Another clue.
    KIM: Vulcans. Er, Earth, First Contact. It's er
    TORRES: Oh, right, right. Um, er, er, Zephram Cochrane's ship. What was it called? Oh, it's on the tip of my tongue.
    KIM: Okay, here, here, you'd better lie down now. Enough trivia for now.
    TORRES: No, no, I'm going to get this one.
    SEVEN: Lieutenant. Ensign.
    TORRES: It's about time. What happened to the turbolift?
    SEVEN: During the last attack nineteen main power relays were severed. The entire turbolift system is non-operational.

    [Corridor]
    TORRES: Get me to the Jefferies tube network on deck eleven. The EPS manifold must have taken a hit too.
    KIM: Seven of Nine can go take a look. We have to get you to the Doctor.
    TORRES: All right.
    SEVEN: Phoenix.
    KIM: What?
    SEVEN: The correct response to your query. The vessel Ensign Kim was describing. It was designated the Phoenix.
    KIM: Not bad. I didn't realise you knew so much about Earth history.
    SEVEN: I don't, but the Borg were present during those events.
    KIM: Really.
    SEVEN: It is a complicated story. Perhaps another time.
    TORRES: I think so.

    TORRES: I think so.
    That spoiler you have here is the connection that guy clearly missed. And as Miles said; if it's a released TV series or Movie, it is canon.
    Please don't start talking about DISCO here; that's a different story as it's still being released and isn't relevant to what we're talking about.

    On the subject though of that guy correcting the other reddit user (realizing just now that's you) on whether it's "We are the Borg" or "We are Borg" I have found 2 quotes on Memory Alpha. Both are from VOY episodes (S3 - Scorpion & S6 - Collective) and prove both statements are canon.

    I thought I'd join in on the conversation on Reddit too. I made sure to mention Ace's reference in there as well as my findings.

    It was a good movie.

    Everything that has been aired, TV series or films, are canon.
    Except The Animated Series, which is in a weird gray area of canon-only-when-it's-referenced. I always liked the dichotomy of Trek canon - it's very black or white between TV/movies and the novels/comics/etc., with TAS being the only gray area.

    What I'm interested in is whether or not the TAS rules will apply to Lower Decks and the Nickelodeon series.

    In 2007, CBS rolled TAS into it's library on StarTrek.com (http://web.archive.org/web/200706301...cle/42595.html) and stated that the TAS is Canon and to be considered TOS' fourth season. This was further confirmed in an interview with David Gerrold and D. C. Fontana that is part of the book "Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek - The Original Cast Adventures"
    https://www.amazon.com/Gene-Roddenbe.../dp/1442249870

    Coincidentally, this was also around a year after CBS released a DVD box set of The Animated Series...

    "We are Canadian" and "We are the Canadians" are both grammatically correct (depending on context), right?
    If the plural is the same word - then both "We are Borg" and "We are the Borg" would both be correct grammar, maybe?

    I'm thinking "What are you?" vs "Who are you?"

    I think that We are the Canadians is only correct if it's followed by, 'that you're looking for.' or something like that as it seems strange as a response to 'Who are you?'. Then again, I don't expect a species from bajillions of miles away to know and adhere to the rules of English grammar Smile
