The Best Of Both Worlds, Part I This sci-fi spin-off triumphantly came of age with the third-season finale, "The Best of Both Worlds, Part I," which was first telecast June 18, 1990.

The surprise-a-minute script by producer Michael Piller---who broke Gene Roddenberry's No. 1 rule by allowing intense conflict among the Feds---climaxes with Riker weighing the lives of his crew against that of Picard and issuing a command to destroy the Borg ship.
