Great in their early TNG appearances, but by the time Lorne recruited his little army of them I was significantly less impressed with them.

I hated that episode.

The Borg in Voyager were more interesting. I love the Queen and her little wiggly metal spinal column. But if she brings order to Chaos once you destroy her all Borg should shut down right? So after Voyager there really should be no more Borg? Unless I'm mistaken and she wasn't blown to kingdom come.

You will assimilate!

The Borg will rebuild just think the Queen has been killed 3 times in First Contacted and twice in VOY

[Morbo]

i'm pretty sure there's more than one queen.

Q Who was a great episode of TNG, and The Best Of Both Worlds was clearly the best TNG eps in the series. I like how the more we saw the borg as the time went on, the slicker they began to look.
more badass, than cyborgy.

Voyager had some great borg stories.

"Borg? sounds Swedish"

Ever wonder how the Borg evolved who the first species they assimilated maybe their creators.

This is the explination at http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Borg#Origins

The precise origins of the Collective are unknown. However, it seems likely that their homeworld, the Unicomplex, is located somewhere in the Delta Quadrant. Starfleet assets have encountered references to their existence at least 900 years ago, and possibly earlier. According to some, the Borg were "far less impressive 900 years ago." It is unlikely that there was ever a single moment when the Borg suddenly emerged; Guinan claimed that their fusion of the organic with the cybernetic had been gradually evolving over thousands of centuries.

Man, when I heard that in First Contact, it sent chills down my spine.

Creepy!

I felt that their threat was reduced a bit too much in VOY. Sure, they were still creepy, but there were too many Borg related episodes in which Voyager managed to escape. I preferred it when one Borg Cube could destroy a whole fleet.

So which part do you like best - I have bolded my favourite part

[babaganoosh]

all of it. I just find their cold calmness that they're going to kick our asses very chilling.

Yeah but to make Borg eps they had to dumb them down or else they wouldn't have been able to have any eps with them
