Actually, this is kind of funny, as we were just discussing this the other
night. The original "Q Who" episode was on, where Q sends the Enterpoop to
the far side of the Delta Quadrant and basically arranges for them to
encounter the Borg.

Now, for those of us who have been keeping up with ST: Voyager, we'd almost
fall over laughing. Even by Guinan's description of the Borg in the first
episode, the Borg from "Q Who" are retarded rejects. They must not have been
brought up to date or something, because they allowed all sorts of
wandering/exploration of their vessel *AFTER* they had been fired upon (20% or
more of their cube destroyed or not, do *THAT* kind of damage to a bug hive,
especially Hornet or Wasp, and see what they do first...repair or WREAK
HAVOC!!!).

Anyway, sorry for the semi-rant here, but it just continues to occur to me
that "the Bugs" (like the upcoming return of the "Borg Queen") have
yet to be
played out to their limits. And, to be truthful, I'm really considering the
concept of bringing in "General Mandible" (ala: AntZ) and/or "Cutter"
(Chris
Walken's voice does leaps as the questionable bad guy).
