View attachment 2909469Being raped by a 🧹 is "gambling big"?

There are probably many Queens (distributed based on distance, + amount of drones/ships/worlds in a particular region) who all are all linked. At the very least, the accepted theory is when one of them dies, a drone is then turned into the next Queen. With that in mind, killing one would make no impact on the collective.

Her death still causes all of the other Borg to die, which is a pretty dumb addition. Data had plenty of chances to kill her unimpeded.

i really dont want to read that clickbait, can you tl;dr the big gamble?

It was the hint of a good idea. An emergent consciousness, the ego arising from countless interconnected brains, she could truly say "I am the Borg," the same way the consciousness that arises from 100 billion neurons in my head declares, "I am Standardized Profile." It's good sci fi. It's smart.

But they never really ran with it. Voyager turned her into a comic book villain, watching events unfold on a big TV and giving orders to the drones. I haven't seen Picard, but apparently the Queen is now just a drone you plug in to a socket and it functions as a CPU for the cube.

Also in Voyager the queen would frequently countermand orders from the collective.

Dr Who had the same problem after it introduced Davros as the creator of the Daleks. The Daleks stopped being a society of their own and just became Davros' minions. Later stories introduced different Dalek factions that were rebelling against Davros.

Star Trek could do something similar with the Borg, having a borg faction that killed their 'queen' and run their cube as an anarcho-syndicalist commune
 
I agree with a lot of the chastise comments of the Queen, I liked the idea that there was more to the borg and that there might be one true individual inside the mind or a hybrid complex mind thing that exists outsie of physical form (I dunno I like scifi and robots). I felt the end of voyager was just he good old knee jerk ruining of a good ideas because every ones now fired so the ships going down type situation that happens at the end of tv series and was dumb.

And picard just ended up shitting on the borg and well every thing star trek in general.

So I like the Queen and I'm down with a redo on the borg because it started strong ended baddly but odds are it will just be another fuck up.

There has been an episode of Voyager with a colony of Borg drones who disconnected from the collective (I don't remember how though), are you referring to it?

Long observed as one of the most unfortunate endings in the history of writing Star Trek.
While speaking with Scott Bakula during a panel at DragonCon 2010, Garrett Wang recalled that – during production of the final scene of "Endgame" (and of the series) – Kate Mulgrew was in a bad mood, which set the tone for all the actors on the set and made the entire cast's energy level go down.

The folks defending it were the same ones moderating r/StarTrek now: unabashedly saying it’s the best thing ever, and if anyone doesn’t like it for any reason whatsoever, they’re a hater.

Yes I was thinking about that episode (which was really good iirc). In that episode they were cut off due to an ion storm and at the end I think they all voluntarily return to the collective.

It would be interesting to use that scenario combined with a unimatrix-zero style rebellion to make the borg a bit more interesting and menacing again.

Which is terrible because First Contact made it clear that there's no distinction between her and the Collective.
"Are you their leader?"
"You imply a disparity where none exists. I am the Borg."

For a series that promised to chart the unknowable possibilities of existence, they backed away from examining collective consciousness in a hurry. Imagine a long talky scene with the Borg Queen describing how she perceives the universe, how she thinks, how everyone ever assimilated continues to exist and live in her. Most villains get a chance to explain why they do what they do, or we get a look at their society and understand them through their circumstances, but we never really got that with the Borg. Just a few lines from Locutus about improving other races.

Imagine the incredible about of deliberation that occurs throughout the Collective before a thought surfaces in her consciousness. Not the horny queen stuck on the 1701-E with a handful of drones, but the consciousness that pervades the interconnected Collective of the 24th century. When she has access to that amount of cogitation, she should be one of the most intelligent creatures in the universe. That's the Borg Queen I wanted to see, the sum of billions of minds working together for thousands of years. Instead, we got space zombies and a BDSM queen.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=OyuddrlFajsHey, it's the new Picard trailer! The whole opening VO with Patrick Stewart sounds like it was written just so it could show up in the trailer, and hey, why not suspect a bunch of other lines as the same? Who wanted the Borg Queen back when a bunch of fans thought she was a misstep in how the Borg were written? Who are all the people coming out of the woodwork on social media to talk about how they are so hyped for this? Where did anime sword Romulan go? Is he even in this show anymore? Is there a single futuristic looking set or is it all just grungy modern/totally-not-modern sets that look like they need a deep cleaning? We'll just have to wait and see! (or not, I'm not watching any more of this crap)

I've already had like 20 standard drinks today, and after watching that I will need another 40 to erase that dreck from my memory.

I’m starting to think this Kurtz just really wants to be punched in the face.

That's to good for that cunt. He deserves to be repeatedly cocked punched until he throws up, and then forced to eat his own vomit, and have that happen every week for the rest of his miserable life.
 
I recall reading that Alex Kurtzman avidly disliked or was disinterested in Trek growing up. Abrams also never liked Trek at all. How is it Paramount let these people who neither understood or appreciated the IP run it? I just don’t get it.

TBF, Nicholas Meyer didn't like Star Trek either and he made or wrote the best TOS films.

Technically being an asexual jello, isn't that image also lesbianism? The real question is, how do you know when he's done?

Also guess what dropped today.
I will admit, I'm shocked the jerk white-guy first officer was actually good at something. Usually in this stuff they're incompetent's across the board.

Man... grading on a very VERY steep curve (of disc/pic), Lower Decks might be... the better current series??

Ok who switched out my alcohol?
