Man, anyone else remember the time before Voyager when the Borg were legitimately terrifying? The Borg shown in TNG (not counting the movies) were almost like some cosmic horror straight out of HP Lovecraft. They would show up in the skies over worlds, excise whatever people or technologies drew them there, and move on. They could not be bargained with, or persuaded, or intimidated. Just like with the drone shown in this episode, even if you somehow stopped them, it would only be a temporary reprieve because they would send more ships that had counters for whatever you used to stop the previous attempt. Moreover though, they were something that was a rarity in Star Trek as a whole: a species that was truly _alien_ . All the rubber forehead aliens in show were essentially just humans with different cultures and maybe certain behavioral traits amplified. We, as an audience, could still relate to them though. But the Borg were something different. They were a hive mind: vast, unknowable, and with motivations so inscrutable that we could only guess at them. That was, until the writer's decided to create the character of the Borg Queen. Giving the Borg a 'face' with the Borg Queen was completely asinine. With that one move, everything I just described vanished. The Borg just became yet another rubber forehead alien race that happened to be powerful. The Queen had emotions, could hold grudges, acted arbitrarily, and had all the foibles a single person would have. Any sense of an 'unknowably vast consciousness' was destroyed. The Borg just became a bunch of cybernetic robots obeying the dictates of some petty tyrant of a woman.

@daviddavies3637
Жыл бұрын
@@robertstevenson5145 Good point on the last. It would have made more sense if the borg had a weakness whereby they couldn't adapt to phaser frequencies quickly enough. Starfleet personnel could get a few shots off before they adapted, but sometimes changing the phaser frequency gave them additional shots. So, two phasers being fired at different frequencies might give them more shots. Once they adapted to that, add a third at a different frequency. Eventually, the Borg wouldn't be able to switch frequency adaptation quickly enough so phaser fire would get through. Unfortunately, writers tend to get stuck with an idea and don't completely follow through. I'd be great at CinemaSins.

the argument here is incorrect, the Borg see a civilisation as being worth assimilation they're going to send a Cube to both assess and try and assimilate, but if they fail they've gained the knowledge they need to try again, and again, and again if they so choose. They don't need to send a thousand cubes, eventually they'll overwhelm you and they'll assimilate you, and you'll become a launching platform for your region of the Galaxy to send out more Cubes elsewhere. When Guinen says they won't do it piecemeal she's not talking thousands of cubes, she's saying if they want you, they'll send a few hundred Drones at once and you're done as the Borg are relentless.

Tbf, one cube was far more then enough. Starfleet literally got lucky in both encounters, because of Picard.

BTW another insulting analogy of the Borg. They're an analogy of The WB, Tribune, their lame unpopular stations like WPIX. The Enteprise is my UPN/Warner Bros./WB flagship. This show was on WWOR in Secaucus/New York/Brooklyn

That was one reason why I could never get into this show. The characters are always so slow to react, they just stand around and let some invader of the ship walk around and do things before they react. Like sure, before any people come to "educate" me, yes, I know in this particular case, reacting quickly and immediately wouldn't have been beneficial anyway since the Borg would just adapt to whatever they use on them. But other than this specifically designed fictional situation, it just doesn't make sense for people to react that way to an intruder, especially after they've been warned several times about how dangerous they are...

I never noticed the TOTALLY SUPERFLUOUS & "unBORG-LIKE" action of the drones just .... .. Looking at the crew in a very unBORG-Like condescending manner of superiority after their weapons fail. They ooze an aura of : *"Ha ha ha ha, you suck, i/we rule."* *In this, the 1st appearance of the Borg, we are introduced to some kind of ƁĄ§ṬĄŔƊịẒ̌ĄŢįØŊ of what they were originally intended to be / would become !¡!*

Sounds almost Terminator like with John Carpenter's The Thing added to it. Most of the time the borg cannot be bargined with, nor reasoned with nor compromised with. They just advance on anything and everything and either assimilate or destroy whatever gets in their way. Makes one wonder if any of the Star Trek actors ever watched Carpenter's The Thing

So picard sends an away team to gather info on the Borg ship. But they forgot all about those 18 people. No rescue mission at all... Hmmm...

"the borg never do anything piecemeal" The borg then not only once, but twice, send a single cube to earth 😂 just a little funny bit in hindsight, when this was filmed the writers hadn't fleshed out the details of the both yet, that's why we see nothing about assimilating people etc, fun bit of trivia.

I know it’s only a tv show but the enterprise did major damage before they sliced the piece out of the ship, I reckon they could have destroyed the Borg ship before that happened they missed their chance once the Borg got the hold the piece the ship they had adapted and the enterprise ds weapon were then useless
