I am still pissed with First Contact when they introduced the queen. The borg were supposed to be like an ant colony, you were really never supposed to fully understand how they work. They put her in because they thought they needed a movie villain that could talk; and she was not even weird or interesting just a person walking around talking about perfection and other nonsense like a normal human nothing about her was borg at all. |

The initial concept of the borg was cool. First Contact and later Voyager completely ruined it, though. |

The Borg concept is not realistic. Anything that computes at a decent level realizes the universe is thermodynamic. There is change. Increased capacity comes from incorporating function, not necessarily form. Borg is a manifestation of fear of artifice and augmentation. Again, that inclination for dystopia. |

They don't just aquire the physical bodies of their victims, but much more importnatly their collective technology, memories and intelligence. They assimilate to learn and the people that they aqurie in the process are just spare parts that they can toss aside at their leisure or keep as more disposable drones to go out and aquire even more data. |

The Jarts had an ethos. The Borg....they just Borg. No fun there. They needed Douglas Adams to have a chat with them. |
