In the second Unimatrix episode(I think it was the second) The Borg queen visited the unimatrix. She met that little boy, and she saied,"I was about your age when I was assimilated". Does that mean there where borgs before she existed?

Oops I'm partially wrong since I read the chracter bios at startrek.com it says that she might've been a drone assimilated into the borg queen. so that also might've been the answer to all those queens popping up everywhere.

Well, since we now have a hive Borg system, we can assume other parallels with hives. If they lose a queen, the collective probably just processes another female drone into a queen.

Didn't she also say in Dark Frontier that she belonged to Species 123 (or similar)?
This would contradict the fact that there Borg Queen "types" of which Type 1 (Alice Krige) was probably killed twice and Type 2 (Susanna Thompson) once - unless the Borg deliberately choose twins or clone their queens.
Anyway, I believe that the Borg Queen is an altered ordinary drone. Only the fact that the Borg use the queen as a "swap file" for their consciousness makes her special.

You know, there's a fascinating parallel between the Borg, and the Daleks and Cybermen of Doctor Who. At first, they all function as "group" enemies. Ruthlessly efficient and intelligent. However, at some point, they all got given "leaders" (The Queen, Davros, and various "controllers" respecively), which reduced most of them to mindless bodyguards.

Bah. Everyone knows the borg were based entirely on those baddies in Captain EO.

True. It's the stress of doing 7 till 6 work days.
In my defense, I was thinking of the space stations from Elite. So, er, yeah.

A Michael Jackson sci-fi movie .. i think it was made solely to be shown as part of an attraction at a park or something..
i never saw the whole thing, but i taped a nifty special on it hosted by whoopi goldberg in 1988
it had jacko as EO, and anjelica huston as a borg-queen like character that stole peoples music-energy.
and a robot that turned into a synthesizer.. kick ass
