    The fight between the Borg and Species 8472 shows off the Borg's greatest weakness. If they can't directly assimilate something, they have no way of fighting it. In just a few days, the individual minds of Voyager find a solution that the Borg couldn't, even with their advanced tech. Basically, the Borg dont seem to have intuition and creativity.

    I have met Jeri Ryan in person and she is a super-nice person! In fact, I was killing time in the hotel lobby when she walked up to me and struck up a conversation. It took me a few seconds to realize who she was....she was in jeans, no make-up, and her hair was combed down straight. Very kind woman, she and I had a nice chat. I've also met (among MANY others), Susanna Thompson from Voyager. No Borg make-up and she looked and sounded like any other woman. So happy to have met many Trek stars over the years.

      While a "resonance graviton beam" might not exist, those words all do, "resonance" deals with frequency, "graviton" describes a particle of gravity, or a way to describe it, and a "beam" of course is a beam.

      DS9 was just one of hundreds of of star bases. Also, there are a lot of colonies.
      Eventually, the crossfire of so much war would kill off some of those colonies and bases and it might even cost the federation more than it would cost to engage in war.
      Losing too much territory and research progress could set them back so far that they no longer pose any effective resistance. When that happens, any one of the factions could just take the remaining territory and render the federation and all its species extinct.

    It doesn't even matter that the cast has aged. The movie can take place a decade after Voyager got home; it can be their specific expertise that is needed to turn back an invasion directly from the Delta Quadrant.

      The shields would easily of held any pressure fluid space could put on it. A standard torpedo hit is like getting hit with a several magnitudes larger nuclear device. What I don't get is how fluid space is even possible? How has it not already condensed down into stars and blackholes like ours has leaving gaps of essentially empty space but in the episode it states fluid space extends I am guessing as far as there sensor range. Plenty of goop to form stars.

      By that logic, the Ent crew should've killed Picard instead of surgically removing his implants and making him human again once his connection to the Borg was gone.

    • @harpiyon
      @harpiyon 10 лет назад +2

      ShadowSonic2 I don´t think so. Picard was a human for most of his life. Trying to save him was logical. But I´m sure if they found out they couldn´t turn him back into a human, they would`ve killed him. Also for his own sake. They would have done him a favour.
      The Voy crew, on the other hand, was attacked by Borg. None of the Borg had been their captain or crewmate in the past. And the Borg were trying to take over the ship & bring it into unknown territory. So of course they tried to kill them all, or at least throw them off the ship. If they tried to save them, they should have done it with all of them. But no, first they blow them into space, and then they make the only survivor a member of their crew.
      I guess the scrip required a very dramatic entry of Seven, the new regular character. Under normal circumstances, I´m sure everyone, esp. Tuvok, would have continued to try killing the surviving Borg. It would be the only logical thing to do.

    • @pendragonshall
      @pendragonshall 10 лет назад +1

      harpyion Just saw this an thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. You are of course entitled to your opinion but since you threw yours out there... Going backwards, responding to what you stated. It would not have been logical at all because that's not what happened. The crew/chakotay stopped his attack because one, the bay was already vented and two she had already succeeded and it was over. So guarded and angry and on the verge of putting her off ship they kept her on. As you watch the series she plays the line between being incarcerated and flat out pushing it to the point where they will kill her to defend themselves UNTIL she loses the majority of what makes her borg and starts to revert back to being a human, ANY of the borg that happened to would have been kept and treated. If you watch the series it really does explain what happened and why. You may think it's wrong but Im really not sure how but anyway. Spare them when possible and if not use alternate options which means killing usually. It's not being trite it's being pretty straight forward about it. Anyway my view on it, which follows the story. Not perfect but pretty good.

      Chakotay did nothing wrong. He knew the borg were going to double cross them and they were trying to get him to take Voyager deeper into borg controlled territory, which was not part of the plan. Hell, it turns out later that the borg were the ones that picked the fight in the first place and that is the only reason that species 8472 came into our space. Janeway picked a bad ally and didn't even try to find out what was going on.

    • @jasoncutler5640
      @jasoncutler5640 8 лет назад +1

      +Vatai Akos From a purely strategic POV, the Federation has less of a disadvantage versus the Borg than it does versus Species 8472. For one thing, the Federation has a not-inconsiderable amount of information about the Borg, whereas they know next to nothing about 8472.
      For another, Species 8472 would have an enormous advantage as far as knowledge about our dimension--they're used to fighting the Borg on their turf in non-fluidic space. Even if the Federation somehow gained the advantage in non-fluidic space over 8472, they would be initially at a severe disadvantage if the fight should shift to fluidic space.
      TL;DR version: better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

      To fight the Borg, it would be a lot easier to simply take a small shuttle, fill it with anti-matter and fly it remote controlled with high warp directly into the cube.
      The kinetic force of the high velocity impact would already destroy any cube and if not, the anti-matter will do the rest.
