   I've never seen "Blindness" and "Cypher", so wish-listed. I had a really   
   hard time watching "Code 46", they whisper a lot and that's a pain with   
   a language is not your own, thus I may be biased, I didn't like it. I   
   did like "Cube".

   True. Although those Borgs were more Voyager's that TNG's.
