History YMMV / StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E23IBorg

* HarsherInHindsight: Hugh's performance can be hard to watch knowing that [[spoiler:he'll be killed off in ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' several years later.]]

* LGBTFanBase: Thanks to Creator/JonathanDelArco's long-time gay activism and the fact that he has been open about his own sexuality informing his performance as Hugh, this episode has been a fan favorite among LGBTQ Trek fans who see Hugh's search for his own humanity as a metaphor for queerness.

* HilariousInHindsight: The episode's official title has no comma in it: it's not "I, Borg", it's "I Borg". When he reviewed the episode, Website/SFDebris made a number of jokes about the similarity to [[EverythingIsAnIPodInTheFuture the marketing names of various]] Creator/{{Apple}} products.

* HarsherInHindsight: With Hugh being a recurring character in ''Series/StarTrekPicard'', his wish that he not forget that he is an individual is fulfilled. Unfortunately, this does not last as long as he would have liked to, [[spoiler:as the population of ex-Borg on the derelict Borg Cube that he is working on is mostly decimated from a battle of control, and he dies after attempting an insurrection against its Romulan overseers]].

* FridgeBrilliance: Picard taking the moral high ground to avoid genocide against the Borg, despite it being incredibly beneficial to do so, is strong evidence against [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E1EncounterAtFarpoint Q charging humanity with being "a dangerous, savage child race."]]

Unfortunately, this does not last as long as he would have liked to, [[spoiler:as the population of xBs on the derelict Borg Cube that he is working on is mostly decimated from a battle of control over said Cube, nor does he survive, as he dies, after attempting an insurrection against its Romulan overseers]].

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: With Hugh being a recurring character in ''Series/StarTrekPicard'', his wish that he does not want to forget that he is an individual is fulfilled. He may not have that great of a life, given the FantasticRacism aimed at former Borg drones, but he does in fact have one, and he is using his experience to help as many other former Borg drones as he can.

* RetroactiveRecognition: Fans of Series/TheCloser and Series/MajorCrimes will recognize Hugh as Dr. Morales.
