[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: Speaking of the doctor, the ease of physical reconstruction on Picard would indicate that stuff like replacing limbs with freshly grown ones was no big deal. It seems silly to assume Picard's original arm was in the Borg attachment thinger, so they must have replaced it- which is entirely plausible between the DNA data all starfleet personell have in their file and transporter records. [/QB][/QUOTE]Huh? They specifically showed that arm attachment being fitted over Picard's existing arm. He raised his fist and they slid it on like a glove. Now, we can debate why things changed between BOBW and First Contact, but there have been so many changes to the Borg over the years anyway. First they reproduced and then grafted implants onto their young (Q Who?), then they assimilated by grafting implants to captured people (BOBW) and finally they just injected nanoprobes and let them build the implants from the inside out (First Contact). Sure, you can retcon the baby in Q Who? as just an assimilated baby from some other race. But it's apparent that there was no thought given to limb replacement until First Contact, when the writers could afford to push a PG-13 rating. Ironically, they even mentioned nanites in BOBW, which is just another name for nanoprobes. But there was no suggestion of nanoprobes in relation to the Borg. [/QB][/QUOTE]
