How Humanity Created The BORG! - Star Trek Explained
The Borg are perhaps considered the Ultimate Villains of Star Trek. Ever since there impressive and scary first appearance in the 1989 “Q Who” episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the creepy cybernetic humanoids have been a constant problem and concern for the Federation and other galactic species. The Borg Collective was so intimidating due to there ultimate goal. This being the atonement of perfection through the forcible assimilation of other species.

    lol. There are currently two enterprises that I love. The Original Series. Enterprise F. Would have loved to have seen a Thourgy version of the Enterprise. But haven’t seen one yet. Love the dedication. But the NX-01 was not a USS model. Carry on. As small as warp drives are the the time of TNG and DS9 I never understood why there wasnt a warp drive built in to the saucer section. Just one worp nacell would have been 1000 times faster than the impulse drive. In the end. So disappointed in the history.

    The Borg were not living machines, they are organic life forms that are cybernetically enhanced. Removing the cybernetics and the nanites returns them to their normal humanoid selves. The borg queen herself is also a biological organism. So no, VGER was not a Borg, and the living machines that messed with Vger were also not Borg, because Borg are not living machines.

One Commander Scotty would have been proud to serve on. Or the Thurgy Class. Makes the E look like durg poop. Also. You should get help with the split personality issue you have. It sounds like you frequently are kicking your own ars while making these videos.

    @manoahvanderwolf3259 День тому

    I hate the Picard series profoundly, it's an insult to TNG series and movies, so i'll ignore that nonsense. I think Voyager did great with the Borg. The Borg being the result of a far away alien civilization, far, FAR away, that developed cyborgs that went wrong, is a interesting and reasonable concept. I would also like the concept that they were far less advanced before, and only relatively 'recently' had a growth, and/or, actually in an effort of aliens in it's 'original' galaxy area to beat them or destroy them but that they developed transwarp, perhaps even time-travelling whilst doing so, to save one borg cube to escape total annihialation and end up in the delta quadrant, hundreds of years before voyager arrived there. what would be extra interesting is if the real origins of the borg was a alien species, struggling on their home planet from a disease that made their bodies decay, perhaps from star-radiation or something, and they had to live underground in caves or made 'cube' like structures to protect themselves. this alien species, very, very humanoid in design, nearly identical, but thousands of years before mankind even achieved warp technology. mankind then set away voyager, which did it's work for hundreds and hundreds of years, until it got pulled into a singularity, some rare, random event in the universe that caused a wormhole through time, where it got caught in and ended up thousands of years in the past, where it then further drifted in space until it crash-landed into the alien planet suffering from the radiation, and ended up in a sea of the planet of a special 'rare' liquid mixture that prevented it from getting too damaged. with the aliens recovering this strange thing, they noticed an inscription that said v'ger. and they inspected it and after hundreds of years were able to decipher and decode the machine and even replicate it's technology, completely alien and different to what they have been developing and living in, and made the technology their own and adapted it and discovered the technology could be compatible to their bodies though cybernetic adaptation. when they were succesful in copying all the technology, they learned about mankind and the travel of voyager, and decided it should be sent 'home', so they directed it towards Earth, but now enriched with their knowledge, incorporating and informing a way to use cybernetic adaptation to heal or survive, sharing their knowledge in the hopes of one day establishing contact - believing that humans are the only other species in the entire universe. the human technology, which is very industrial in it's concept, allowed the aliens to protect themselves better from the radiation, shielding themselves, and they fused robotics with themselves more and more, until finally it has gotten into a part of their lives, and had no option to implement as they already were losing reproduction capacity due to the radiation. cloning proved unsuccesful and the species got in danger of extinction, they could expand their life expectancy for a long, long time, but their inability to reproduce proved problematic. finally, they achieved warp technology, and started expanding in their galaxy. it took quite a while before they actually encountered an alien species. their technology got shared, but the alien species could not help them in regaining reproduction capacity. instead, they managed to help them achieve downloading their consciousness into a 'digital' form. eventually, this led to them being able to digitally reproduce but without having a body to operate, they could not expand. full robotic bodies were not suitable, and lab-grown meat so to speak lacked what they called a 'soul'. instead, they finally ended up in secretly and covertly capturing one of their ally's, whom were technologically far less advanced, and try experiments. after failing many times, they finally managed to achieve success with a few female and a few male aliens, and managed to 'assimilate' them and infest their minds with their consciousness. At that moment, the borg truly were born, and the original species essentially died/lost.

    The Enterprise D will always be my favorite, followed closely by Enterprise E. I'm a child of the 80s and 90s, who grew up in Canada. I had a Light And Sound Enterprise D, sold by Playmates, and I had a few TNG action figures. I think, for a year, I was once part of the mail-in Star Trek Fan Club, which also featured a monthly magazine! 😊 I loved all of the original movies and TNG movies, and I was immediately smitten with the "new" Enterprise E. I made sad attempts at building plastic models of both D and E. I was a teen 🤷‍♂️😉 I'm 41 now, I still love everything about Star Trek, its values, and its culture! Thank you Gene Roddenberry, and thank you to all for this video! Excellent retrospective 😊❤ You know what to do... 🖖

    I have the idea for the origin of the Borg being born from desperation. I see a human like empire expanding to its neighbours taking them over peacefully when possible and forcefully when not. After a long expansion, they eventually come across a system they cannot persuade or force. In the ensuing fight, they get forced back to their home system. In desperation, they create a group of enhanced soldiers to defeat their enemy. This works but the enhanced soldiers are so changed that they cannot live within the rest of the empire. They agree to live out their lives on one of the system's outer planets. Since the enhancements made them sterile, it is assumed that they will die out there. This seems to be the end and the empire expands again. However, a century later, a desperate plea is received from the planet that the enhanced soldiers had gone to. They were still alive and running out of supplies. The empire decides to let them come to the home world to pick up supplies only to find when the enhanced soldiers arrive that they have survived by becoming more and more enhanced. The empire also discovers too late that the "supplies" needed are more people to be enhanced. Thus the start of the spread of the Borg.

    I see a lot of comments implicating nanites in Borg origins. Having watched all of TNG thru ENT in order on their original air dates I got the impression they didn’t start out with nanite assimilation technology. I thought the early assimilations were more brutal, akin the cybermen of DW, with nanites being introduced later as a more recently assimilated technology.

    It is plausable that Nick Lacarno is Tom Paris if you look at the fact that Paris was the son of ADM Paris of Starfleet Command. To keep Tom from being treated differently from being a son of Starfleet "royalty" he could have been given a fake name so he would be treated like everyone else. If you watch Down Periscope, Engineman 1st Class Stipanic was the son of 3-star Admiral Winslow. He took his mother's maiden name possibly to avoid being treated differently and/or not having a father-son relationship with his old man. No one knew until the end of the movie. Tom didn't have a great relationship with his dad either. Interesting parallel story. Same circumstances.

    The Enterprise C is such a beautiful ship. I think it serves as the ultimate bridge between the Enterprise B and the Enterprise D. It was also the first ship of the name to have phaser strip arrays instead of standard directional phasers. All around a gorgeous ship that didn't get near enough screen time, but the screen time it did get was absolutely amazing, and the ship and her crew went down as heroes.
