Alshrim: The Borg aren't a race because they are Vulcans, Cardassians, Ferengi, and countless others. That's like putting a human, a dog, and a dung beetle in a room and calling them a race.
And the Borg don't have music because they don't want it. That's different from never even coming up w/ the concept of music. I don't think that a species can evolve w/o creating music unless they are mentally incapable of comprehending the idea. And, if these people are like that, there's no way they could "appreciate" the Holodoc's singing. They'd hear him and just say "Why in the world does he keep raising and lowering his voice like that? And why does he hold some sounds for so long? Make him stop, it hurts my ears."

How do we know the Borg have no music? With their nifty implants, they could each be listening to all the music of the assimilated cultures at once, enjoying all the visual arts, tasting all the foods, having sex, 24 hours an Earth day, while externally maintaining that Buster Keaton face and saying "this is irrelevant" and "that is futile".

Well, I've seen "Virtuoso" now. Even ignoring the (I think) absurdity that we've already discussed, I didn't like it. It seems like they were trying to do a character episode, an episode w/ a real-world message, and a comedy ep, all wrapped up in one. In the end, they didn't really do any one of these well.
Oh, and one other thing... How could a member of species who are so obssessed w/ mathematics that the planetary pasttime is calculating pi make the mistake of calling "1 + 1" an equation? :-)

When Seven gives the Doc 'fanmail', it should have been heart warming - IT WASN'T.
The ep was fromage, in my opinion.
TSN: As long as there are values on two sides for the '=' sign, it's an equation isn't it??
I mean : n+n=x Is an equation, therefore 1+1=2 is an equation right?? That's how I understand it .. But I'm not really a math whiz... just a computer geek !!
Ok ok.. BOrg isn't a race .. we'll call them a hybrid breed of all races !!! Fair??

I also didn't think much of the ep. Sevens "fanmail" should have been more heartwarming. I mean jeez she was almost in tears when the doc told her he was leaving.

That's funny. It was to ME.
Tec: Maybe she felt awkward. I would've if I were doing it.

For Seven of Nine, that WAS heart warming. She tries to be like Tuvok, supressing her emotions, but sometimes, like when the Doc said good bye, she gets emtional.
