I wonder, when the Queen said "We're about to be destroyed", could Seven just have stalled and distracted the Queen for a few minutes, and that would be the end of the Borg? Seems unlikely, it's more reasonable to assume that this was a clumsy tactic on the Queen's part and she never had any intention to sacrifice the tactical advantage for Seven's sake, but if that was so I would have thought Seven would be too smart to fall for it.

[@legionaireb]

The Borg wouldn't have died if the Queen had been killed there. Remember, they lost a Queen in First Contact and it didn't hamper them. They probably have half a dozen replacement queens at different locations around the Delta Quadrant. As to Seven being 'smart' enough to see through the ruse, remember that as an individual, she has a sense of self-preservation that would oppose any attempt to sacrifice herself, on top of which she had no emotional connection to these people. The Queen knew her 'self' would live on in the Collective, so she had nothing to lose either way.

The Borg know that there are more powerful species around - 8472 comes to mind. The Cubes are not in fear of their current enemy, but any potential enemy that might want to take a go at the Queen when she's outside of her Central Complex. There is also a different, far simpler answer: More Cubes provide more capacity for Assimilation. It's an entire species after all, you gotta need a lot of manpower to convert them all into drones.

I'm curious about something... The Excelsior was supposedly a trans-warp ship. I first saw Excelsior in whichever Star Trek movie Sulu comments about it. So, what happened?

[@Triplitz88]

There is no cannon reason that Roddenberry or any other writer/producer stated. It is generally assumed that the experiment failed. Another theory is that it was no "trans-warp" as TNG knew it but rather the transition from TOS warp speeds to TNG warp speeds. Again the why was never stated. Also there have been at least 3 different variations on what "trans-warp" is in Start Trek so it may also just be a catch-all phrase for any TFL drive that is beyond a normal warp drive. The Star Trek 3-4 "trans-warp" seemed to involve transporters, another was effectively a "hyper drive" or "wormhole drive" and the 3rd (and most advanced) was like going to normal warp after being compressed to the size of a peanut by gravitic phenomenon. And this is aside from "slip-space" which did make a distinct appearance.

[@HHopebringer]

I've an idea; the 23rd century Federation engineers might have gotten close to achieving it but the actual implementation of a transwarp capable fleet was impractical or unfeasible; their ships could get up to it but maybe couldn't maintain it, and after the Khitomer Accords, there was not a major need for a fleet that could rapidly respond to threats along the Klingon border. The Federation's transwarp project fell by the wayside and was never revisited as a result. Why do something impossible when you've got something that works just fine, after all? But the Borg are immensely knowledgeable. They didn't have the same concerns as the Kirk-era Federation; they ruthlessly pursued technological advancements and prowess (look how they tried to harness Omega; they destroyed an entire star system and hundreds of thousands of drones were annihilated when their Omega particle destabilized after a fraction of a second).

[@Triplitz88]

There was no storyline reason given but they couldn't just build their own (given the complexities around Transwarp and the lack of available resources this makes sense given Voyagers situation) and could only used stolen Transwarp coils and in latter episodes they do try and steal some more but ultimately it never worked out (lets face it Voyager was a 7 year series so the writers couldn't just spam these coils otherwise they would have finished the the show in Season 5 or 6).

*NOTE:* Temporary overlooking the fact the *BORG* violated *7 of 9* physiology while she was sleeping, which to a degree is like someone having sex with your body while you're incapacitated (e.g. intoxicated, sedated, unconscious) since the *BORG* copied *7 of 9* memories & dreams the entire collective knows about who she love, hate, is afraid of, etc which is violation of her privacy, a intrusion of her intimacy = In To Me See.

@John Doe *Don't say that to 7 of 9 to avoid her viewing you as racist & saying something sarcastic back to you for making her mad. Okay?*

Janeway was a terrible captain

Janeway's plot armor is so THICK and impenetrable. I can't believe this show lasted 7 seasons.

Funny how overuse and bad writing can ruin one of the most compelling antagonist races in SF history.

The Borg were never consistent from appearance to appearance even back in the TNG days, they were literally different every single time they popped up. They went from an insectoid hivemind parasite race to a race of indifferent cyborgs that according to Q had zero interest in federation technology or its people. Then they changed again to apparently having an interest in ONLY the technology and people of the Federation and other races. Tng even started the ball rolling on making them a less deadly threat, originally they were entirely unstoppable, then all of a sudden there's a fleet of ships that can reliably pick a cube apart. Even though this doesn't automatically make the federation vastly superior to every other power in the quadrant. And its entirely necessary really, if they were left as intended they would either destroy the federation and end the franchise or become yet another forgotten overly powerful foe among so many. If they are driven to destroy you and you cant defeat them then then your death is inevitable and thats not really conducive to running an open ended series of shows is it?

@@DrewLSsix LOL!!.isn't that what I just said? "Overuse and bad writing can ruin one of the most compelling antagonist races in SF History." Why not just leave them as the hive mind going through the galaxy doing what they do without some other more humanistic type of reasoning. Why not just leave them in the mode that they do what they do because it is what they are.

I miss watching great Trek like this. I hate the garbage that's on now.

I just wish Beijing Biden would have had the same philosophy as Janeway.
