[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] I'm with Red Admiral on this. At the time of "Q Who" the assimilation thing cleary wasn't intended. It has since been retconned into the Borg always having had an assimilation urge, but it wasn't planned at the time. Evidence: Q saying that the Borg aren't interesting in the crew, only their ship. "They've seen it as something they can consume". Guinan: "They destroyed my people". Yeahm she could have been talking in a general sense, but "they assimilated my people into their own" sounds scarier, and she was trying to get Picard to fly away. [QUOTE] it was obvious that they were into assimilation in general. Otherwise, where did the Borg that we saw come from? [/QUOTE]Don't forget that we saw a nursery in that episode. The implication was that the Borg still have babies (althogh most likely in a totally artificial way. Possibly the sperm and eggs are removed as soon as possible, and the whole thing is done in the borg equivalent of test tubes). The babies are then implanted with cyborg components almost immedietly. The change was also verbalised in BoBW: "What the hell do they want with you?" "I thought they weren't interesting in our life form, only in our technology." "Their priorities seem to have changed." And then, by "I,Borg", assimilation has become the Borg's primary goal. [/QB][/QUOTE]
