Klingons have order? They dont even use utensils for pete's sake!
If all they wanted was order, they'd help the Borg wipe out the Alpha Quadrant.

The problem was I didn't have the money to put together the costume I WOULD have worn.
Something from Rocky Horror no doubt.

Well, just because the uniforms are the same doesn't mean that Sisko "died" (as seen in "Visitor") in the AGT timeline. Since the accident was corrected, wouldn't Q have sent Picard 25-years into the corrected (as opposed to the "uncorrected") future?
I mentioned that the uniform connection was tenouis at best and was only an extra point connecting the two timelines. I'm not saying the AGT... future did come true since parts of it have obviously been changed (Deanna not being dead by now for example) but elements of that future have cropped up like the Negh'Var for instance and the hostilities between the Federation and Klingons in every future episode.
And Q was probably skewing elements of the future to mess with Picard anyway.

The line between being facinated by an intresting TV show and having a compulsive disorder tend to blur once you see fans dressed up at conventions, speaking in made up languages and expecting a response other than "back the fuck off".
Line? What line?

If you own a Star Trek costume, you've crossed the line.
In every way.

As a joke for our office Christmas party, I bought one of those NextGEn phaser toys that was put out about nine years ago just to see him desperately try and get it in the "Dirty Santa" game. I even put batteries in it so it would lite and make sound!
It was HILARIOUS.

I own a costume. It was my halloween outfit when I was ten. Does that count against me?

No....not unless you still wear that costume. Then it would definitely count against you.
....and you should probably do a little "spring cleaning" if you still have old stuff from when you were ten.

Yeah. It's not like you could frighten a lot of people in a ST uniform, anyway. Gag them, maybe, but not scare. B)

I dont know....a fully grown man showing up on my doorstep wearing a star trek costume made to fit a ten year old frightens me terribly.
It's a Tarintino scene waiting to happen.

It was explained in The Die Is Cast or The Adversary or something - the key aim of the Dominion is order... the solids are disorderly. I don't think they would appreciate the Borg as it would be difficult for them to control them. The Founders are basically control freaks.

I wonder how the Dominion would percieve the Borg and vice versa?
They certainly have a lot in common what with the Great Link and the Collective, and there common desire to bring order to the galaxy.
I'm sure the Borg would try to assimilate them for there biological and technological distinctiveness at first but perhaps the Borg can't assimilate a Changeling. If they turned into a mist that would certainly render the Nanoprobes nearly useless. I would imagine Changelings must have control of there bodies down to a cellular level to manage such feats as turning into mist so maybe they could simply remove Nanoprobes from there bodies?
The Borg would no doubt assimilate many Vorta and Jem' Hadar and lay waste to any outposts they found but the Founders have proved to be pretty resilient at survival.
Could be that the Borg were the species of Solids that inspired the Changelings distrust and need for control over all Solids 2,000 years ago and made them create races of loyal servants and warriors.
