[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by B.J.: [qb] I don't think you could have a real hive mind without some imposed outside control like the queen's anyway. Assimilate too many individuals and their collective control would overrule the originals who want to be assimilated, and would effectively end the collective. B.J. [/qb][/QUOTE]I think that would just make a collective alter it's perspective: not end it. SEveral collectives could swap members to gain a new perspective on a situation (like the Species 8472 invasion) instead of being stymied at a complex problem or needing to assimilate anew race that might already have the answer. I figure there's several collectives and that each one operates semi-automomously as an indivdual. The Queen's may be one that took the notion of a "speaker for the Collective" to far and suffered for it. After all, if the Borg from BOBW had assimilated the Federation, would Locutus have retained his semi-independant status among the collective or would he have been fully asimilated and used as just another drone once his purpose was fulfilled? The underlying ideology of the Bog is all diffrent in VOY as well: it goes from "improving the quality of life for all races" to "seeking perfection through assimilation of others". The latter is idiotic because they did not retain the adaptations learned from each race assimilated- they had to turn such adaptations "on" if they encountered them again, like re-learning a trick.
