We are the Borg, you will be assimilated. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

You can't accuse them of writing unsympathetic bad guys
Exactly where my mind went.
"I have an exceptionally large mind. Not that anyone listens"
On seeing this design twice makes me question where it comes from. Did somebody make an illustration for the books or how did this happen?
The design for the robot itself comes from the 2005 (not the 1981) movie. (trailer - Marvin appears at ~1:10)
But if you mean this particular style of image with this font and such, that I don't know - perhaps some stickers or tshirts or such became popular to share, it does look nice:-).
Nope I meant the robot. I only ever watched the 1981 movie though. I forgot that there was another.
Was the 1981 better than the newer one? I mean, still none of the movies come close to the sheer poetry of the book, but as far as a movie goes, is the former at all worth watching?
I liked all of the versions I observed which were in order radio play, 1981 film, books. I would find it difficult to pick a favourite.
Well now you can look forward to also trying the 2005 movie as well!:-)
In an alternate timeline, Janeway is assimilated by the Borg.
Thus begins the collective's endless galactic search for coffee.
They'd end up with a ketracel white strength dependency
Lol ... they assimilate 21st century humans .....
"We do not want your biological and technological distinctiveness for our own. We do not want your culture ........ eww"
Our collective stupidity is probably our greatest protection from invading alien species.
We're one of those pre-warp planets where they see we're on the verge of destroying ourselves and they just shrug and say "sucks to be them, Prime Directive."
Doing my part to prevent humanity joining a utopian hivemind
If the romulans on that one ship were able to mentally break an entire cube by just having really bad memories in their heads, maybe the lore would actually allow for something like this
We Are the Borg. . . . I guess. I mean, if no one cares, we can be the Shoes or the Cabbages. And believe us, no one cares. D’you have any more Vodka?
Ugh, we're the Borg. Sigh, we'd assimilate you but it's not even worth it because it's just too hard...
When the Borg assimilate snoop Dogg and become galactically stoned.
The B-O-R-double-G.
The Borg that went into the past and assimilated the humans of 2063 must have become super depressed. Amazing they managed to make it into the "present time" of the movie.
Unfortunately those Borg were too far away from the Collective as a whole to bum out the hivemind.
Crossover with goa'uld symbiote that bonds with you then becomes a depressing nihilist 🤷♂️
This has made me wonder what kind of shit happens when a Borg assimilates a symbiote bonded Trill 🤔
Is that like a 2-for-1 mind collective bonus? Or even deeper, like every single Trill ever bonded to the symbiote has a separate personality (er, well voice at least) within the collective?
what if their base are belong to us?
So you see, kids, it turned out boomers didn't actually hate younger generations, they were just preparing them to repel the impending Borg invasion in the only way possible. Once the angst-ridden Borg Queen committed suicide and the collective was freed, together we used Borg technology to create the interstellar utopia we have today.
Thanks, o boomer
