The ultimate trojan horse

[@Yasuda9000]

Great another situation where Starfleet is destroying itself because of their enemies. Last time this happened was recently in Star Trek Prodigy and that was because of technology from the future and the Borg did examine the device that would infect Federation ships in an earlier episode and they talked to the Medusan crew member and the Borg scanned it and they said they could stop the device that was on the Protostar but they would need to assimilate the technology to due so. The Protostar crew did not allow this as they knew the Borg would just use it themselves to take down the Federation or worse. The crew of the Protostar prevented that and escaped but whatever information the Borg acquired must of gave them an idea to do this in Star Trek Picard to infect the Federation ships and their youngest crewmembers to become new borg drones and destroy the Federation from within. And they were being sneaky about it by manipulating the Changeling splinter group into also infiltrating the Federation just to leave a Trojan horse in all of their transporters. Edit: I just remembered that in an episode of Star Trek Voyager, the Borg Queen showed Seven of Nine one of her plans to assimilate Earth when she forced her to rejoin the Borg again or she would assimilate Voyager. The plan involved dispersing Borg nanites in the atmosphere. Seven of Nine told her that this plan would take years to work. The Borg Queen told her that they can wait. It looks like she used parts of that plan into this one.

[@LGranthamsHeir]

Starfleet has apparently never learned the motto: "All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again!!" That's the level of high vigilance you need when your arc-nemesis is a cybernetic AI race hellbent to destroy humanity as we know it.

Very much so Star Trek's version of Order 66. I would say that "Order 66" can now be defined as any villain who wants to take out a sci-fi group or organization. That while not blameless and has its problems is the villain taking it way to far by committing mass genocide against said organization.

Are we sure thats the whole fleet? Doesn't look like more than a few hundred ships. Starfleet had more than that in a single battle of the Dominion war.

"Today is a good day to die! *Explosion*" "Warp core breach, all hands aban-AAhhaahahhHhaaaAAh!" Seven of Nine: "Even with the Borg Cooperative's counter assault tactics we will still be overrun in a matter of minutes and earth will fall!" Picard: "Then we fight to the end, engage!" *Comm lines static to life* "This is Admiral Tuvok of the U.S.S. Voyager Bio-Command, I hope you are ready for the biggest surprise since the end of the Klingon - Federation War" - Fluidic rifts open up and out comes Tuvok riding in with the cavalry, as Undine bio-ships of every type (excluding the planet killers) pour through the rifts and shred the Borg Collective to pieces, and use hazard emitter beams to repair damaged Starfleet and Borg Cooperative vessels, tractor beams to collect escape pods, and transporters to beam over Undine repair crews to reach places the hazard emitters could not, and medics to dispense anti-borg immunosupport nanites, and provide general medical assistance, all while chanting in unison; "The Many Must Survive"

The Borg as a concept never recovered from what the writers did to them in Voyager. I still cringe every time another "drone" starts talking as if "the collective" is a separate entity they would speak to like any Federation captain would hail Starfleet Command. Seems clear that it's done "for the audience" but as part of said audience, it just makes me feel like the show thinks I'm stupid. You know what would be more menacing than a Borg drone expositioning for us by reporting to the collective? A Borg drone that says nothing unless it's telling some non-Borg that resistance is futile, but otherwise performs whatever task it's meant to do, silently. The Borg were scarier when they actually seemed like a collective consciousness that simply acted, with whom negotiation was truly irrelevant.

What I want to know is what happens to you if you're 24 or 26 (or even 19 vs 24). It's not like the frontal lobe development thing they are blaming this on is some kind of switch that flips at midnight on your 25th birthday. It's obviously a gradual process over many years. So can you be half Borg? Or is it a probabilistic thing?

Shorthand.

I had been saying that it was all about the Borg on any number of Star Trek channels here on YT since episode 3, and it seems like I was constantly being shot down by everyone, but all the clues were there for ANYONE who really paid attention. So now I feel somewhat vindicated. I didn't know quite how the assimilation was going to be perpetrated, by I kept flashing to the DNA code being run during the end credits of each episode, figuring that it had something important to do with it. Now, like everyone else, I can only wait one more week for the finale, and see who is still left alive at the end...

[@MLPDethDealr32]

Actually.. this is also a call back to Voyager's episode Dark Frontier. Remember the queen commenting about a nanovirus and that by the time they realized it was too late HALF THE Population would have become drones. THIS IS THAT ENDGAME. >:)

Wait, under the age of 25? ...what does this mean for the Lower Decks cast?

[@larsyxa]

"'WE' are The Borg...". Clearly Central Hive does not like Jurati sub hive. 2:18 obsessed. That voice....its better or the same as First Contact. But more Final. Alice Kriege...

[@MarshallTheArtist]

Is Jurati behind this? Is she going to intercede in the finale? Why haven’t we heard from her?

[@LGranthamsHeir]

This is the main Borg Collective referred to earlier by Shaw as "the real Borg." Jurati's Collective is just one small group among many other Collectives, most still harboring hostile attitude towards the Federation 😒😮‍💨

[@MarshallTheArtist]

@@LGranthamsHeir Whatever the writers decide on, right? That seems to be the only reasoning they consistently apply.

[@BR-cq2hm]

OK, so what happened to the truce with the Borg from last season!?!? I mean, Juratti is now their queen!

[@ericpowell4350]

Retcon ...

[@MarshallTheArtist]

Juratti is another queen, since she was taken from another timeline. That means there are now at least two.

[@LGranthamsHeir]

Captain Shaw mentioned earlier that "the real Borg is still out there" meaning that most of the Borg Collective apart from Jurati's are still hostile against the Federation 🙄😒

[@MLPDethDealr32]

Thank god for Retcons.

Hey! I thought the Borg turned into good guys season 2? What happened? Get they get mad or something?

[@Verhoeven1980]

The script made up seperate borg queens and factions to unfugg the shite in season 1 and 2

[@juanvilches530]

¿? Que paso? Se supone que el voyager había destruido al colectivo y había traído tecnología del futuro con armas y escudos para destruir a los Borg??
