The Borg Queen...



will look over you as you go to bed. She'll even tuck you in and scratch any itch on your neck. Now you can rest peacefully in that knowledge.

(Also, this is what Trek nerds find hot. Don't ever trust a Trek nerd.)

I'm not a particularly big Trek fan, but it always kind of bothered me how they changed the Borg from cybernetic tech-scavengers who didn't care about the Enterprise's crew but only wanted the ship (when they were introduced) to basically the opposite in First Contact: they were willing to sacrifice all the technology of 24th century Earth to go back in time and assimilate its population. I guess the writers decided "space-vampires" were easier to write than antisocial tech-heads.

I was watching a bunch of Borg episodes from TNG and Voyager, and it finally hit me: The Borg's story was already done when Data made the Borg go to sleep.

I still like First Contact, but the problem with it was that they wanted to tell the same story as Best of Both Worlds without making it too obvious.

I didn't mind the Borg Queen in First Contact (except the part about her trying to seduce Picard) but every time she appeared on Voyager she just made the Borg look ridiculous. They couldn't even make her do a voice over so she could "think" her commands. She became a catty nemesis of Janeway. In conclusion, Voyager was a bad show.
