I voted First Contact cause I think it's the only time the Borg (and I have to confess that the ENT-episode with the Borg was not that bad at all) had some really menacing touch except the ENT-episode where they found a Probe with two drones. The TNG-Borg were nice but too pale. The VOY-Borg.. yep, they had boobs  but no brain at all. |

VOY Massacred the idea of the borg in my eyes it makes them look like just a norther threat not the hirable distractive force they are.

I like The Next Generation and First Contact. in Season 2 Episode "Q Who" it was about the curiosity, in Season 3 Episode "Best of Both Worlds" it was about domination. in the movies they did a good job recreating the domination. I did like the Borg storylines (my favorite "Drone") and there origin the Delta Quadrant in Voyager but if anything they came off as a pest, in my opinion Species 8472 ruined the Borg and Species 8472 I did not like  Vidians were my favorite race in Voyager I wish they had gotten more air time. - Christine |

Nice Jan  . Personally I like TNG because the Borg seemed impressive, scary, and inevitable (at least as far as I remember) I agree the borg are big nasty killing super beings in TNG that take entire fleets of ships to destroy, in voyager a small science ship with standard crew can happily escape them many times, voyager did to the borg what the new Doctor Who has done to the Dalek's they where once feared massively but where then ALL wiped out, and then again, then again, then again, and are back this week with someone who was erased from time but apparently not erased from time lol |

Frodo is right! All the Borg *really* want is to give the galaxy perfection! Is that so wrong? PS Hi, new person here  |

The Borg idea of 'perfection' is little more than Slavery. Being a drone is no different than being a Goa'uld host, you can see, hear & feel everything but do nothing (literaly a slave in your own body).

The same way they assimilate everything, I presume The REAL question is, how would the Borg assimilate an ascended being?  The Borg idea of 'perfection' is little more than Slavery. Being a drone is no different than being a Goa'uld host, you can see, hear & feel everything but do nothing (literaly a slave in your own body). Yeah, I probably should have put an emoticon or something at the end of my post to show that I was kidding And thanks everyone for the welcomes  |

would the goa'uld defensives protect its host from borg nanites or would its possession override the borg collective(since they both controll the mind)
also the borg perfection is flawed you cant be perfect if you can not operate on your own were as borg can not sufficiently opperate on there own (and there arragant)

Hmm, not sure if the symbiote would protect the host from assimilation...I would assume that if the symbiote itself has a bloodstream then it would be equally as vulnerable to assimilation as the host itself would be (unless it's immune system was as incredibly advanced as, for example, species 8472's I guess...). I expect the Borg could find a way to neutralise the symbiote's control over the host with some sort of technology though, even if they couldn't assimilate it.

I don't think a goa'uld snake would be able to defend against assimilation. The nanites that are injected into the human/humanoid/alien whatever thingie start adding technology and stuff like that into the bloodstream. I don't think the body's immune system could normally just...destroy a nanite. I also don't think that just by having a super-immune system would be able to take one out, either.
