    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. My sons were called up onstage with Avery Brooks when they were little, and that was epic.

I was ectastic cause I'd never met her before and she was awesome to me and my sons. She was super-nice to my boys. It was a couple of days before Halloween when we met her and she talked with them a lot about their costumes for trick or treat, said her son had grown about about a foot in a year's time and towered over her now, lol. Very nice. I don't care for TOS people. And I never got into Enterprise, although we did meet Scott Bakula briefly and he was fine.

      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.
      A singularity is a 2d point of infinite density, from which not even light can escape

    I always wished there would be movies with the Voyager cast. It might not have been the strongest Trek series, but because of my age when it aired, it's always been my favorite when seen through nostalgia goggles.
    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.

    I love the idea of fluidic space. It seems like it's a dimension where gravity isn't cumulative, so the fluid doesn't collapse in on itself. Huge areas show algae like growths, shining with bio-luminosity. It's like the deep ocean, and one creature alone has become the apex species, unbroiled in a culture of violence and genocide because evolution became such a ferocious, punishing force in their dimension that only the most vicious survive.

Two races in a class by themselves, duking it out over thousands of light years of space. Without a doubt the best episode of Star Trek Voyager.

      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.

      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 ปีที่แล้ว +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 ปีที่แล้ว +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.

    • @jasoncutler5640
      @jasoncutler5640 8 ปีที่แล้ว +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.

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.

    It's too bad we never got to see Seven of Nine in a Starfleet Uniform on a regular basis. At least Troi wore a uniform in the last few seasons of TNG. Much better looking and sexier than those catsuits.
