So, I'm in looking for two things, maybe is hard, but try to not give me spoilers.

1. Is the same Borg queen?
2. The movie was before season 5 of voyager, right? How Janeway came back at that time? Maybe it will be explained later in the Voyager serie (I can figure out a time travel or something) in that case, at the moment of the movie, nobody ask how Janeway contact Picard?

EDIT: Nevermind, Janeway appears in Nemesis, not in First Contact.

So for those unaware, René Auberjonois filmed scenes as a Starfleet officer named West (who had an odd rank of Colonel). At the end of the movie it is revealed that West, disguised as a Klingon, had attempted to assassinate the Federation president. If you have no memory of this, then no worry. You’ve only seen the theatrical version. All the scenes which René appears were not included.

According to Memory Alpha, prior to 2009, the home media releases included the West scenes but did not list Colonel West or René Auberjonois in the credits. 2009 is when the first DVD release came out, being the theatrical cut. The page for West indicates the 4K remaster, released in 2022, includes West scenes but omitting the reveal of the assassin’s identity.

With multiple edits of The Undiscovered Country existing, what is considered the canonical version?

Not sure if this is permitted on this sub but I couldn't resist.

The fact that it says 5 pack and 4 bulbs is the cherry on the cake.

• The episode opens with flashback featuring a chyron informing us the stardate is 61914.3, setting the scene sometime between “Last Flight of the Protostar, Part II”, and “Ascension, Part I”, assuming stardates increase with the passage of time, as they show.

    • We get to see Wesley captured by Ascencia and the Vau N’Akat, which was revealed to be his status in “Ascension, Part I”.

• Gwyn records the current stardate as 62083.5 in her personal log.

• ”Sounds like they’re…playing poker.” We’ve seen that the senior staff of both the USS Enterprise D and the USS Cerritos enjoy playing poker in their off hours.

• With the expedition of Zero, the Protogies all return to wearing their civilian clothes from season one.

• The Protogies have an emergency site to site transporter with power for one beam-out. The appearance looks to be based on a similar device used by the Tom Paris of an alternate universe in "Non Sequitur".

    • Data used a similar device in “Star Trek Nemesis” to save Captain Picard, but that prototype emergency transport unit could only transport one person, whereas this one should be able to move the entire group.

• ”Wesley Crusher told us we must stay together.” Maj’el is referring to events depicted in “The Devourer of All Things, Part II”.

    • Later this episode, Wesley clarifies that he meant they needed to maintain physical proximity at all times. The Protogies have split up in: "Last Flight of the Protostar, Part II", "A Tribble Called Quest", "Cracked Mirror", and "Ascension, Part I".

• The other Vau N’Akat imprisoned with the Diviner are the Elders who were depicted in “Into the Breach, Part II” as being Solumn’s heads of state.

• To avoid detection by some guards, Zero puppets an unconscious Vau N’Akat while Gwyn provides a voice. In “The Magnificent Ferengi’ Rom and Nog come up with a way to remotely puppet the corpse of a Vorta and temporarily fool some Jem’Hadar and Iggy Pop.

As previously announced, the Paramount+ release date is July 17.
