"Borderland" is the fourth episode of the fourth season of the science fiction television series Star Trek: Enterprise that originally aired on October 29, 2004, on UPN. The script was written by Ken LaZebnik, and was directed by David Livingston. The episode featured the first appearance of Star Trek: The Next Generation actor Brent Spiner in Enterprise, and the last appearance of J. G. Hertzler in the Star Trek franchise. It also featured guest appearances by Bobbi Sue Luther and WWE wrestler Big Show.
The series follows the adventures of the first Starfleet starship Enterprise, registration NX-01. In this episode, genetically engineered humans called "Augments" capture a Klingon vessel, and the Enterprise is sent to find them. They retrieve the Augments' creator, Doctor Arik Soong (Brent Spiner), and head in pursuit. After being attacked by Orions and rescuing their crew members, the ship is attacked by Augments who retrieve their creator. The episode is the first of a three episode arc, followed by "Cold Station 12", and "The Augments".
It also featured the first appearance of male members of the Orion species, despite female members appearing in the first pilot of The Original Series. The reception from critics was mixed, with Spiner's performance generally praised. The episode was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Stunt Coordination.
