Conquerer of thousands of species, highest population of any empire in the galaxy, remarkably resilient and adaptive.
Weaknesses? Worf with a knife and Picard in the midst of a beserker fury.
And all things called ‘Voyager’ xD
lol
Warf's solid punch to their face.
Blow up the damn ship!
Nooooo!!🤣
Don't forget the weakness known as Archer.

“Bionic Zombies” I’d never thought of them as that, but you’re right!
Thanks for another great video!
They originally weren’t like zombies but a hive mind, like a bee or ant colony. Voyager changed them to space zombies. Some people liked that, others not.
Ah yes, the Borg... I had some nightmares about those when I was younger. My dad was watching the movie and the idea of creatures that forcefully converted you into one of their own was rather terrifying. Now, though, I find it intriguing. I do enjoy species and races that, rather than outright kill you, transformed a person in the way of transmutation of the body or mind. Feels more insidious in that regard. Of course, I would be terrified if these sort of things existed in real life but we thankfully have no need to worry.
Great video, good sir! Please keep your hard work and have a wonderful day.
We are human 2.0.
You will become like us.
They do exist in real life! 😳 They are called communists and several of them are running for POTUS right now! I will not be assimilated, I will not comply, and I will resist to my dying breath!
They don't exist? Look at those calling to cancel jk Rowling!
They are the borg, because they are diverse and want everyone to bend to their lifestyle.
@@Karasaph there is a fungus that can control an ants mind, hopefully mother natrue doesn't let it evolve to control us.
We are the Borg. Lower your device and surrender your lives. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
If you're able to board the Borg ship, they seem to prefer fighting hand to hand as they want to assimilate rather than kill. They're able to adapt to any energy weapon, but remain vulnerable to physical attacks.
Therefore, what the Federation should do in fighting the Borg, is build ships specifically to fight the Borg that are fitted with massive railguns. They would have some of the regular energy weapons as well, but would be meant to be used only when necessary to allow an escape or finishing opportunity, using them as little as possible because of the Borg's adaptability.
Hand-held railguns would be the most ideal weapon against the Borg for Federation crew against the Borg drones. However, if the quick speed of the rounds had them able to be adapted to, then all crew on these ships would also be highly trained in Martial Arts, and their primary weapons would instead be things such as throwing knives, swords and tomahawks, since it seems certain that the Borg never adapt to take the slower strikes as from a sword.
The primary flaw in the Federation's strategy in fighting the Borg appears to be the belief that higher technology is somehow the answer to beating them, rather than reverting to older technology.
i know this is old comment but 100 percent agree about the melee weapons hope yer well from Scotland
This isn't part of my program. I'm a doctor, not a door stop
Enrique Romero would you like an analgesic creme?
They are probably the most powerful army any conqueror could dream of.
What about The Imperium of Man (Warhammer 40K)? Now THAT is an army.
Allan Donohue
Not even the most powerful in Warhammer 40k
Borg Vs Necron, lol.
Xeran King you all seem to be forgetting about Ewoks. They beat a Galactic Empire with nothing but crude weapons and sheer will to become marketable toys.
The borg is the dumbest race ever conceives. Like any miltary with explosives can literally walk into any borg ship and so on plant bombs and walk out without the borg ever attacking them. What armed species would like trespass do whatever they want and not detain or question them. Their reason of existence is even more of a paradox. To integrate technology that better than the borg into the borg, but to capture said technology they must have technology capable of capturing it. So what if there's no technology advance enough to capture said technology.
The Borg's personal shield always reminds me of the body shields in Dune. I can't help but wonder if the slow blade penetrates the shield.
Donald Hudson and pat stewart was in dune 😂 good call
prom night Dumpster baby Gurney Haleck, a bad ass babysitter if I ever saw one. 😎
well, bullets do.
basically kinetics hurt them, bullets, swords, hand to hand combat, they cant adapt to render themselves immune to it
Even the fast blade penetrates the Borg shield! Though I wonder if a phaser or disruptor would still cause the dreaded Holtzman Effect.....
Zuccerborg
Can I use bits from the social network? lol
The disturbing thing is when you think about it, that’s probably how the Borg got started, LOL.
Nicolas Perez that got me
@@brokeneyes6615 It's all down hill from here.
Our cover has been blown. Immediate assimilation in progress!
“The line must drawn here, this far no further! I will make them pay for what they’ve done!”
Josh Powell-Morris
You broke your toys...
See ya later Ahab...
The conviction and anger in which he says this line gives me goosebumps every time I see the movie. Patrick Stewart is an incredibly talented actor, one of the best in my opinion.
You cut off the best line of the EMH "I'm a doctor not a doorstop". Felt the same as Dr. McCoy saying "damn it Jim I'm a doctor not a ....." 😆
I like to think that the borg hive mind is a virtual space like in The Matrix. That they exist as individuals in that space and live on an accelerated dream time like in Inception. They have happy lives and vote on what action to take next and express themselves creatively in their virtual world.
They do, look up the Voyager episode Unimatrix Zero
I never understood why Picard didn't simply replicate some Remington 870's and just start dumping rounds.
It would be fascinating to have a Borg origin story, where they start out with nascent implants here and then and grouped hive minds (like a military squadron) before devolving into a totalitarian dystopia where everyone of the species is forced into the hive mind and implants.
Or perhaps that would hit a bit too close to home Black Mirror style.
"Captain.... They've adapted!!!" I always loved that line from Worf
50 years of watching Sci/Fi of every kind & the Borg are still my favourite baddies.
One of my Favorite Star trek villains.
The Borg have to be one of the most chilling and dangerous of all sci-fi villains. Especially given how they just keep coming and keep getting stronger the more you fight them until they're strong enough to assimilate you.
I love your eerie background music it makes all your videos suspenseful and mysterious. My favorite is the faceless men
you just keep pumping out great videos man, thanks again.
One of my most favorited (yet also hated) villains from one of my favorite film and tv series. Nice video.
Would you consider covering anything in the Warhammer 40K Universe. I only just started playing a few Warhammer games I bought and their is so much to learn.
ComfyTush check out grim dark narrator. He's one of my favorite 40k channels. Not trying to send anyone away from this channel it's just grimdark is 100% 40k.
So basically Borg drones are technically individuals, but are quickly driven to insanity when they’re connected to the hive mind? Damn, that makes them even more sinister. That would explain why they don’t show any interest in anything except for what the collective wills... They have simply given up and resigned themselves to an eternity of hopelessness.
That seems like a complete and total failure on a technological level in the hive system... I would have thought that in the quest for perfection they would have at some point implemented some sort of system to keep the hive mind in some sort of order. Unless the original Borg race had a disdain for individuality...
Fuck. My mind.
Maybe the original species was a sort of hive minded species anyway, like a swarm of bees and they never had a need nor want for any "order" in their hive mind implants.
Always with the badass videos man Best channel around.
Awesome work as usual !
*Zucc*
Who here still have nightmares of them as a kid in 2000s, don't leave me hanging.
love your videos man. keep up the awesome work
Love the videos, sir. I have messaged you a few times, thank you for always replying. The Borg are my all time favorite villains. You know, if you think about it, the Borg aren't that much technologically that much more advanced than the rest of the galaxy. It is their ability to adapt to almost any situation and quickly that made them almost superior
Resistance is and always has been… Futile.
That is where you are wrong, Worf! Now that I possess the sword of Kahless the Klingon throne is mine!
Damn this was a blast from the past! Still get a gut wrenching feeling when I see these things
Hey man loved the video keep up the good work
Thanks David :)
Another Great video even if I don't know what the topic is you explain it so well an make it interesting so Very well done 👍✌️
Star Trek: Destiny. If you want to read a book that beautifully describes the Borg and how they were created this is amazing and the overall story i wish they would adapted to TV.
I'm sad its not considered Canon.
Congrats with the channel ... Doing pretty great.
Thanks buddy!
No prob🍻
Excellent and composed work again mate. I don’t usually do this but may I request you to do one for ‘Static Shock’ I was working on sanding the stairs and it’s just hit me. Cheers. Good work once again.
-CJ
Finally! Thanks, I always found the Borg to be genuinely scary. You should have mentioned 7 of 9 though lol, but great video.
Hell. Yes. Had to give this a like before the vid even started.
I do love the Borg but you didn't mention species 8472, their ultimate enemy, which I thought were quite cool!
awesome as always
I would like to know how Picard-made-Locutus kept both his original eyes, and both arms, whereas almost everyone else assimilated lost one.
He had plot armor equipped.
Even though I was never a big fan of Star Trek in general, The Borg are amongst my favorite villains in all of Sci-Fi. They perfectly represent what kind of an existential threat a superficially diverse, yet mentally homogenous hivemind can truly be. The Borg more than any other group of villains highlight just how dangerous the ideology "Diversity Is Our Strength" really is.
Great vid! 👍
Which one would win: Reapers (Mass Effect) or the Borg? Or would they become one new entity?
Why aren't edged weapons, knived, swords, axes used? Also seems like blunt force trauma to the head and neck would be extremely effective as well.
I think because how risky it is getting close to a borg
They do work...but you have to get close and they run you over by numbers.
@@jumpinjackflash9394 Bingo, Borg are easily stronger than any other organic creature in Trek (besides 8472) and they need but grab you once and you are now a drone.
You should do Ticks(Seth Green,Clint Howard, Alfonso Ribeiro) the giant ticks in that movie gave me nightmares when I was younger even though I couldn't stop watching that movie over and over.
Fantastic Video, Resistance is Futile! 👍👍💯
Not a star trek fan but my dad was, rip. Thanks for another great vid!
Isn't one of their only weakness is having their head removed?, wouldn't a crossbar bat be incredibly effective at destroying them
my absolute favourite drones are the ones with the beams shining out either from their eye or beside their heads... perfect example at 2:48...its a fantastic and menacing look.
The grotesqueness of the borg remind me visually of the grotesqueness of the cenobites from Hellraiser.
In Deep Space 9 it was shown that the federation has miniaturized teleportation technology and could mount it on a gun and literally have it teleport the bullet to within inches of the target
Would it be possible to have something like that be an Anti Borg weapon by having the bullet teleport to inside their shields
The main problem there is they'd have to do it while they regenerate otherwise moving targets would be difficult and since the Borg can revive fallen drones those shot down may not stay down long.
In the books one of the ships fighting at sector 001 used those weapons to repel a borg boarding party.
I think that was the whole point of the TR-116. To kill Borg Drones.
It's crazy how well the first contact still looks to this day
They would closer to perfection if they retained their individuality in some form
I love this great channel :D
My favorite Star trek villains.
They're soo goood!
With the return of Picard in a new series, perhaps the Borg will be the catalyst for him to return to action.
StarTrek had the Borg... Quake had the Strogg. I argue that the Strogg were more terrifying due to their gory assimilation process which your character experiences in first hand in Quake 4 (chest ripped open, legs amputated, neural implant embedded in the skull, etc.) all without anesthetic.
Hmm, what if The Borg and The Cybermen went against each other? The result would be very interesting to say the least!
"An eye replacement to improve vision" 3:08 - DRUNK-O-VISION, ACTIVATE
Great video on the Borg. First Contact is in my opinion one of the best films from Picard's timeline. Any chance you could do an expanded Borg video focusing on Seven of Nine and the other Borg from the Voyager tv series?
Great video
2:00 Yes, they always remove an eye and an arm to replace them with prosthetics, unless the script requires you to become human again at some point in which case it easier to just leave them in place…
So true.
One of my all time favourite films
Very interesting!!!
Great vid dude really enjoyed it, the game Star Trek Legacy had a really good origin story for the Borg that ties into the motion picture but i don't this its regarded as cannon
*that
Thanks Sam! I must check it out :)
Sam Lee canon*
@Liam Leggitt star trek armada 2 had the tactical cube and fusion version.
@Liam Leggitt gotcha haha
EXCELLENT!!!!!
Great video,brother! How about something on the Thoalians,eh?
Is "M.D Geist" already on the list? That was one of my favorite Animes as a Kid...pleeeeze do "M.D Geist".
Oh funny thing actually I was just playing star trek online & had just encountered a Borg Sphere
I find The Borg quite interesting and frightening.
As a Trekkie... I love this movie and the borg! So ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This movie scared the absolute shit out of me when i was 10-ish. . . Twas also my introduction to star trek as a whole, and my love of patrick stewart
Still... The end of ST-TNG S3 and beginning of ST-TNG S4 "The Best of Both Worlds Part 1 and 2". My all time faves!!
Maybe they were just trying to find the perfect way of making noodles
0:30 I just realized how much the main Resistance rifle in TLJ looks exactly like that
Great!
The perfection of the Borg is a wishful desires in A Matrix like mental cocoon is where we wish to not be abundant in our selfish motives in ignoring pain.
While, humans are really the false reasons in
learning how to live alone and with skepticism in why others are not perfect.
love this. please do the Q rase next
I can’t wait till the day you finally do The matrix👍🏻 but these guys are pretty cool though👍🏻
My dad told me that the race was obsess with perfection a nd as they keep adding cybernetics their computers took over their mind becoming the borg
Be interesting to see a video on the robots similar to the Borg on the seth mcfarlane show
poor borg, voyager took their teeth! They were so scary pre-voyager, but then 1 little ship just trashed them 24/7
the borg were always my favorite!
yeah, they are just a buncha sweetie pies, like a cute puppy licking your cheek
As a child these things f**king terrified me
The weirdest thing I noticed was that all Borg look human and do not remember any others from other Star Trek species.
In the book Discovery they came from a super advanced race called the Caeliar after an incident with early warp humans. Also the temporal drive was given to the Borg by the sphere builders
I would have loved a voyager movie. That was the most fun series for me out of the star treks.
The Borg vs The Flood. Begin!
I wish you had delved more into their abilities. In the books its shown that they are more than 3 dimensional. Their tech that is
Are you going to cover the locus from gears of war?
Yep its on the to do list :)
FilmComicsExplained cool thanks. Looking forward to it. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍
FilmComicsExplained Oh pleasssse. That would be great.
Awesome video. Is there anyway you could cover the Daleks from Dr.Who?
Hey you should do the Virus from Cargo!
Yep! its on the list :)
FilmComicsExplained sweet thanks man
Ah The Borg. My favorite character in the series🔥❤️
I'm looking forward to how they portray the Borg in the new Trek Picard series.
Any regrets? 😂
Please do more Star Trek and Stargate videos! Please do a video on the monster from the movie Relic.
The borg can probably be destroyed or rendered ineffective with a data destroying virus, deprogramming their basic life functions. Or Worf with an M-60 machine gun.
Can you also make a video explaining Ghost of the Mars
I just love how after they have adapted to futuristic energy rifles, you can always rely on brute force
You missed Seven's role she was basically the borg princess.
[..] Seven of Mine .... assimilate me! [..]
After watching startrek discovery I was of the understanding that section 21 was the creator of the borg
Hmmmm wonder what the Cyberman (Doctor Who) and The Borg would think of each other....
Having seen Cybermen and Daleks trash talking each other at Canary Wharf, I can imagine.
"YOUR_UPGRADES_ARE_INCOMPLETE"
"NO U(re distinction will be added to our own)"
They teamed up in a comic book crossover with Star Trek the Next Generation and Doctor Who.
