Today In STAR TREK History: September 3rd

We are Borg.

Welcome to our round-up of the Star Trek episodes which received their premiere broadcast on this day throughout the show's long history, along with anything else of note that may have taken place. All viewing figures quoted are for U.S. premiere broadcast (unless noted).

September 3rd
On September 3rd 1997, Star Trek: Voyager returned for its fourth season and resolved the cliffhanger left earlier in the year with Scorpion: Part II. A recorded US audience of 7.94 million households were there on the night to see Captain Janeway forge a shaky alliance with the Borg Collective to defeat Species 8472, leading to a new potential crewmember coming aboard. You know her as Seven of Nine.

Also premiering on this day, although this time in 2020, we have the Star Trek: Lower Decks episode Cupid's Errant Arrow, which saw Mariner become suspicious of Boimler's new girlfriend, whilst Tendi and Rutherford grow jealous of a bigger starship's gear.

Join us again next time for another round-up of the episodes broadcast, the movie's released, the special events, the birthday's celebrated and anything else of note that went down on this day in Star Trek history.
