Temporal Cold War Borg?
I was watching today's repeat of ENT and wondered why were the Borg not involved in the Temporal Cold War?

My own personal take is that the Borg don't exist anymore by then, or at least not as a credible threat. Some of the reasoning behind the design of the Ent-J in Azati Prime was that by then the Federation is so advanced that they're folding space and exploring other galaxies, and that's 'just' the 26th-century. And even discounting that behind-the-scenes information, we know that the Federation is advanced enough that they're quite capable of fighting (and defeating) trans-dimensional enemies. We also know (from Daniels) that by the 31st century, time travel is so common that quantum discriminators are in the desk of every high school student.
With technology this advanced in the hands of the 'good guys', my supposition is that either the Borg have been totally destroyed/de-assimilated or else they've been completely isolated by the more advanced powers and no longer represent a threat to anyone else.
We know from their basic nature that rather than innovate, the Borg simply assimilate in order to advance themselves. And we know that as a result of Endgame, the Federation rather suddenly comes into possession of technology decades in advance of what they already had--technology that put the Borg to shame. So already by 2377 in the canon timeline, the Federation is more than capable of whipping the Borg into submission. Now imagine 3 centuries of advancement on top of technology that was already capable of devastating the Borg? Or 3 centuries after that, when the TCW apparently begins?
On an only vaguely related note, the Trek sub-forum regulars might be interested (shocked) to hear that lately I've been considering watching voyager again for the first time since it aired

I said 'considering', 7 seasons is a lot to tackle

There are a handful of Voyager episodes that are actually very good. But we both know that that was hardly par for the course. Personally I think you should skip some episodes, like say Threshold.Originally posted by DigiFluid View PostI said 'considering', 7 seasons is a lot to tackle

I thought Endgame had some good character moments but it was definitely not on par with What You Leave Behind, not by a long shot.Originally posted by DigiFluid View PostEndgame would be #2 on the list for me, if it didn't contain parts important to future Trek incarnationssigpic

None of the finales where on par with What You Leave Behind. Its a league of its own and I rather like Endgame.Originally posted by Cold Fuzz View PostOriginally posted by aretood2Comment
