I'd be okay with that if, the first time a Borg drone so identified appeared, he hadn't been named "Third of Five". That's clearly an ordinal number. It's a small thing - a very small thing - but, as Eric Idle's character said in the sketch about letters of complaint to the BBC, it's just as easy to get these things right. :)

Mad Headroom would've been even more post-apocalyptic. And Edison would've had a shotgun and a dog.
