🖖TRIVIA TIME ANSWER REVEAL🖖

❓ In Star Trek TNG, the rescued Borg drone Third of Five becomes known as Hugh. Who gave him that name?

➡️ Answer: Geordi La Forge
La Forge mispronounced “you” as “Hugh” during their conversations—offering not just a name, but friendship. It marked the beginning of Hugh’s journey toward individuality.

🧬 BONUS: Hugh’s journey doesn’t end there. Do you remember where he turns up decades later in Star Trek Picard?

➡️ Answer: Hugh later reappears in Star Trek Picard, where he leads the Borg Reclamation Project—helping others reclaim their sense of self.

This week on CloneStar Podcast, Jonathan Del Arco joins us alongside co-author Trisha DiFazio and illustrator Adria Alvarado to discuss their children’s book Freddy the Alien, a story inspired by Jonathan’s real-life journey of difference and discovery.
