As I was watching "Best of the Both Worlds" and watching "Dark Froniter" I notice that they different interior. I think that the borg cube from BoBW is an older borg vessel than the cube from dark froniter is similar to the current designs.
Its been speculated that every borg ship both exterior and interior looks different....i wanted to believe that the cube in "BOBW" was an older "type" cube but then in "Dark Fronteir" we saw a cube even older than that one and the cube look newer than the "First Contact" one. Oh well. Just another example of Braga rewriting trek to fit new budget standards.

Really? When did Braga become the set designer? Or the miniature model/GCI effects supervisor?
Geez Louise, if you're gonna call this a "continuity error" then at least lay the flaming bag of dog pooh on the proper door step.
Anyway, the disparity between Borg cube interiors could be a result of the different cultures and technologies that are assimilated. As soon as any technology is captured, it could be analyzed and integrated into the ship structure as soon as possible. This could allow the older cube to have a newer appearance. Also, "Dark Frontier" seemed to state that the cube the Hanson's were studying was either a part of or had frequent contact with Unimatrix 1. Maybe this could have some significance on the interiors of the cubes.

and when did i mention continuity error i said it was a clear admitted example of rewriting trek to meet new budgets---hey who ever gives the final go ahead for each episold is responsible.

I always thought each cube would look a little different. The same way Borg drones look different.

Yes, but what the Drone meant was that BoBW was set in the Trek era of thirteen years ago while the Cube that caught the SS Raven was set thirty years ago in the Trek universe.
Hence, the Dark froniter should've had that "old-school plumbing job" look with all the pipes and shit instead of all that green light, a la contemporary cubes.
I agree, it was a fuckup.

Pretty much. I think they actually called it "Threshold" because they wanted to test our threshold of tolerance for utter shit...

Think of it this way: The bigger budget in Voy/FC let them construct a better *representation* of a borg cube, what we see just varies in accuracy to the supposed existence of the borg.

He'd take one look at the borg and say "What the hell?"
Generalizing ship representations is tolerable in an LCARS recreation of a battle or flight path (ie klingon ships are bops and dominion ships are Dommiebugs) and perhaps not even then...
