That is awesome and I’m not even a particularly big Star Trek fan!
“We are the Dems. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance Is Futile”
fboiteau – yup. that’s exactly it. Also what it felt like on the campaign trail…resistance was futile…ugh…
But don’t forget, the Borg were easily defeated when good people stood up against them. Just a thought.
They weren’t “easily defeated”
At every single encounter with the Borg, Federation ships were overwhelmed and many annihilated. Memory Alpha, the star trek wiki, states: “Of the 40 vessels that engaged the Borg cube, 39 were destroyed, resulting in approximately 11,000 deaths”
The cube was unharmed in the battle, until the Enterprise-D managed distract the Borg (with an idea stemming from the ship’s android, Data) to destroy the cube and save Picard.
As for the Battle of Sector 001, Most of the Federation fleet had been destroyed, only the Defiant and the Bozeman survived the engagement until the Entreprise-E arrived and Picard used his intimate knowledge of Borg vessels to destroy the cube.
The resulting conflict on Earth in 2063 was nothing but easy, being decided merely because Data’s attachment to humanity was stronger than his desire for perfection the Borg fed, if not for that, the entire Federation would never had existed, and Earth assimilated.
Only 2 Borg ships ever attacked Federation space, and it was a gigantic issue each time, i don’t call that “easily defeated”
The Star Trek Voyager Borg encounters were all big issues, though they evidently found ways to fight them effectively.
If anything, the Borg is the toughest opponent the Federation ever faced. The Dominion came close, but even the Dominion would not be able to withstand a sustained Borg invasion.
sry, my “trekkieness” is showing
sry i forgot to reference those battles:
the first with 11,000 deaths is the Battle of Wolf 359.
the Battle of Sector 001 takes place in Star Trek: First Contact
Love this!!
But in light of the last two weeks, shouldn’t you include a few conspicuous internal blow-outs or whatever they’re called in Trekkie-speak – a chunk of Daschle exploding out, some crumbling New Deal stimulus infrastructure spraying across the universe, a little Blago-rot in the under-carriage, a few bailing hard-liners here, a few bailing moderates there, and a few Gitmo prisoners yo-yo slamming on the front grill?
And don’t forget all those corpses being dragged under the rear Axelrod!
Good Lord.
It is a fantasy, a fiction.
“Resistance is futile” may be more appropriately directed at the Dems own internal termite infestation. Outside resistance is coming along very nicely if the GOP stimulus smack-down is any indication.
@mac:
while i do know it is a fiction, it doesn’t prevent me from being passionnate about it and having learned details.
besides, with ANYTHING, when i decide to learn about it, i do so in intricate detail. that’s the wonder of photographic memory
and if you don’t have anything constructive to add, then don’t bother.
