[QUOTE]Originally posted by Triton: [QB] [QUOTE]Borg were still born biologically from the parent race and then modified.[/QUOTE]Hooray! Someone agrees with me. When I said that Borg reproduce biologically in addition to assimilation, I was immediately shot down and told they were assimilated babies in "Q Who?". I don't know if I believe that the Borg reproduce in utero, but they probably have fetal growth tanks that allow infants to develop. I think that the Borg changed when some one on the Star Trek writing staff realized "Holy smokes we just signed the death warrant for our characters and the entire Federation. We don't want them to be totally anhilated when the Borg come." We have had suffer the new and improved Borg since then because they started to make them less powerful and more vulnerable. Not much drama if we see 50 or 100 Borg cubes annihale the entire Starfleet in a couple of minutes. Borg appear, Federation dies before commercial break. At least JMS stayed true to his original concepts for the Vorlon and the Shadows in [i]Babylon 5[/i]. The younger races would be toast if either one of these races was interested in conquest or consuming the technology or bodies of other species. Thankfully this was not their motivation and so the cast of [i]Babylon 5[/i] and the rest of the races survived. The big problem that I have with some of the concepts in [i]Star Trek[/i] is that no one thinks past a couple of episodes. They really should have sat down and planned large story arcs or how certain plot developments would affect later episodes. But they didn't, and that's how we get a mess like the Borg Queen and Seven of Nine, among the other continuity problems we have seen over the years. [/QB][/QUOTE]
