I kinda sorta agree. Their introduction was first rate actual sci fi. Unfortunately the Borg suffered from the 'too many cooks in the kitchen" problem. The franchise started going downhill went they started comparing the Borg to ants, bees, and other social insects and made a queen Borg to control the Hive. It doesn't work that way in nature. Or at least here on Earth. What really got me was that the Borg were basically Terminators. Yeah, from that movie of the same name. Just more squishier parts and harder to kill.
@bp341 Жыл бұрын
The borg are by far the most interesting character ever created throughout all platforms of entertainment. The way they were ruthless, ambiguous, terrifying and brutal, complicated and simple. The way they could assimilate entire worlds in a flash if worthy or a threat, yet completely indifferent to the point you could literally beam on their ship and they would just completely ignore you. They also showed signs of emotion and curiosity with their fasccination and almost religious view of omega. The born Queen was the most fascinating since she to me seemed like the next step in borg evolution mixing humanoid wants and stifled emotion with cybernetic precision.

I always assumed they had been developing for thousands of years contained on their homeworld. Perhaps even created their collective consciousness but lacked warp drive, and eventually a well meaning explorer ship found their world and landed to make first contact with this highly interesting social structure, but were immediately assimilated, giving the borg warp drive technology and allowing them to leave their world and they began assimilating nearby worlds. This was the point the Vaadwaur became aware of them.

i've always hated the direction they took seven of nine. It feels to me like they did it soley to have fun action sequences, with little regard for lore and continuity. Seven was a scientist. She was recruited to the think tank, is the galaxy's foremost omega particle expert, explored the delta quadrant, served aboard a starfleet starship, is an expert in slipstream/transwarp tech, has time traveled, and of course, holds the scientific/historical knowledge of thousands of assimilated species and the borg. She could have been the greatest scientist the federation has ever had, a leading expert in weapons, nanoprobe medicine, warp physics, omega particles, history, or literally anything. She could easily be a chief engineer or officer aboard a starfleet ship with her experience, or at the very least a valued member of the borg reclamation project. Instead they decided to waste all of that on a corny action hero. All they saw in Seven was her muscle, and totally forgot about her mind, which was her greatest strength in voyager; being slightly stronger than the average human was nothing compared to how much was in her mind. It's such a waste of potential. And to think they did the same to Icheb just to give seven a lame action-hero backstory. So sad.

The entire concept of the Borg took a huge nose dive the second the "Queen" made an appearance. I don't think the smooth brained people who took over the writing of the scripts understood the concept of the Borg. All they seem to understand is "drone". A true collective needs no leader. They don't even have to force you to join. To truly be part of such a massive collective obliterates anyone's tiny sense of self. It's an opportunity to be a part of something God like. It's the closest any organic being can come to immortality. Your body is abandoned, merely becoming organic material. In the Borg's eyes this is a precious gift they are bestowing on species that have earned it. It's an ego death to evolve to a divine state. I don't think most people are smart enough to even remotely comprehend this sort of existence. All they can think is "bee hive".

I believe I know the EXACT origin of the Borg... (IMO) it's Doctor Who! An inspiration from mixing the Cybermen characters, with the Daleks! The Borg Queen is their Davros. For any fan/viewer of the first 7 Doctors, (William Hartnell - Sylvester McCoy) you see MANY things in Doctor Who that Star Trek TNG may have gotten MUCH of their material inspiration from. With the Borg, 1 example is the episode 'I, Borg' when Picard questioned does he have the right to wipe out all the Borg by inserting the geometric virus program into the Borg collective, through Hugh, (3 of 5), but ultimately deciding he didn't. Very similar to 'Genesis of the Daleks' series (Tom Baker's) Doctor: "If I just touch these 2 wires together and the Dalek's never existed... do I have the right to wipe out an entire species from existence?!" also deciding he didn't. Then again in "Descent" (TNG) when Picard get's a spanking from Adm. Necchayev for not destroying the Borg back when he had the chance with Hugh. But believe whatever you like!

Now that the Borg have been destroyed. I wonder if they will ever tell the story of the true origins of the Borg

The Borg did not scare me when I first saw them on TNG. But they gave me nightmares when I saw them on First Contact

Wouldn’t Archer meeting the Borg cause a somewhat of an alternative timeline? Since they already knew about them or would it still happen? Cause in the Star Trek Enterprise series a lot of stuff happen that would change the future cause it to be different or am I wrong?

Archer and the Earth government didn't know they were Borg, they just knew them as mysterious, advanced aliens and kept the information classified. When Picard later met them they didn't realize it was the same aliens at first.

Now after Picard season 3 has ended, it’s sad that the producers ignored not one, but two possibilities to bring the Borg to Jupiter. In season 1, there were the wormhole with the technotentacles, which looked a lot like Borg Justin Red light Then in season 2, another wormhole appears, and the jurati collective tried to prevent whatever is coming through to come out. Then in season 3, the fireworks looked very often like opening wormholes, and this could’ve been the perfect chance and entrance for the Borg. But instead they hid the Borg for ages in Jupiter with a never seen before queen The super cube could’ve been wipe the entire federation fleet on its wonkiest by mining Jupiter At least they brought it to some kind of end, but my guess is: the jurati and the original Borg are still out there, even in the 32nd century

Probably a minor omission was the episode where Janeway tuvok and Bellanna was assimilated in a plot to capture a working transwarp drive.

Borg must of had some Precog technology at wolf 359, the ejection of the escaping sphere proves it.

What about if the Borg were so old is because they never developed space travel until someone landed there cane they assimilated it

I liked where the writer that came up with the Borg, told how he hated Gene Roddenberry vision of the future. So he came up with the Borg to destroy it and have more dystopian future where people hated each other and technology was evil etc.

They should make a series of how the borg slowly became the borg. Like their civilzation before they set out to conquer. The ships they first had. Their motivations for assimilating other races. How their technology evolved. What was the main race that pushed them vastly ahead of most other races. How did they conquer the first race, etc. That would be cool
