1. The story lines were fine. Even if it wasn't the best ST series, it was still sci fi goodness. Granted, it was a show targeted toward casual TV watchers more than hardcore Trekkies, but after Deep Space Nine it was nice to have something that wasn't so complicated.

2. The characters were fun and lovable. I liked plenty of them more than I liked a lot of major characters from other series. Tom Paris was the ****, B'Elanna was one of the strongest female characters of any ST series, how can you not love Neelix, and like you said, the Doctor and Seven of Nine were fantastic.

3. The ending was exactly what the show had been about: them finding their way home.

4. The First Contact movie was what made the Borg goofy, not Voyager.

And I haven't seen an episode of Star Trek in years, and Voyager since the show ended, so I really couldn't go in-depth about it.

Do it! Do it! Do it!

No they weren't. Most of them were awful. "The 37s?" "The cloud"? "Fair ****ing Haven" and its bloody annoying sequel? I could go on.
We shall discuss in depth of course
Paris was terrible. Despite getting married he never developed at all.
She was strong but a token Klingon and always bloody angry. Even Worf smiled from time to time. Also, she made me feel as if she was sneering at me every time she was on screen.
Because I have eyes
No argument there. The ones who saved the show.
Damp squib. Without giving anything away in case someone has not seen it, it was, after seven years, BANG! and suddenly we're home and now let's roll credits. Not even an epi-****ing-logue???
No. I have to give that to NexGen and "I, Borg". Idiots.



We are!!

**** you. That episode was adorable. And how did that ruin the Borg? It was one episode. The only other Borg turned into a humanized character was Seven of Nine, so it didn't really have any fallout. The Borg queen was just retarded, and dominated the depiction of the Borg from then on. That whole movie was dumb as ****.

uh... what?

The first time I got Hipster... Then the Uptrader. I am so confusde

I can't even get to this by going to the website. It shows nothing. Got a link? It actually seems fun.

^I too feel like taking a quiz. I'm just gonna go ahead and say it should have something to do with aggressive and confident if its any kind of accurate.

Took it again and got philosopher twice... I still don't see it. I can't imagine trying to woo somebody explaining fidlarism's stance on the morality of man... Oh well. Maybe that's the point ha.

I'll try posting this link one last time.. (remove spaces yourself)

Oh for the love of... ! It ruined the Borg because for the first time ever, Trek had a totally ALIEN alien, who had no emotions and could not be reasoned with. A foe Picard RAN FROM, and who KICKED STARFLEET'S ARSE at Wolf 359. An enemy we could finally feel might be too much for the Federation.

And then...

... they ****ing humanised them! They made us feel sorry for them, made us look at them and say "Aw, they're just like us." NO THEY ****ING AREN'T! Any humanity in a Borg has long been destroyed and they are now just pure automatons who work for the advancement of the hive mind. They are NOT pets, they are NOT human and they are NOT our friends. "I, Borg" decided to make them more human-friendly and in the process destroyed any sense of invulnerability they had, and made them no longer scary. Why oh why couldn't the writers leave them as they were? It didn't serve any purpose. It's like when Doctor Who made us feel sorry for a dying Dalek??? Some things are not meant to be understood, pitied or changed in any way. The very fact that you think "I Borg" was "adorable" shows how much your, and everyone else's, perception of them was changed by one stupid episode.

And why didn't Picard wipe them out when he had a chance?

But I do agree about the Borg Queen. What a bitch.

Mods, feel free to move these posts to the "Calling all nerds" thread if you wish, as it's probably better suited to that one.
