While they're at it.. I think they should find Data's head from the TNG episode where he was with Guinan and Mark Twain in the 1800's - before the TNG clan come back to get it!!!!
For that matter.. I think Guinan should be the one running from the Borg, AND SHE FINDS THE borg and she tries to hide it .. and she becomes known as a spy from the Romulan Empire ... then the Andorians will cry WAR because Starfleet is harboring a romulan!
Meanwhile Data's head comes to life and he starts singing show-tunes and asking for his violin.
They should keep to their own shit - and leave the borg where it is. In the future!

No it wasn't. What you said made sense. Omega was just voicing his opinion that he term "interesting" cannot be used to describe the book 3001.

i actually quite like Hunters idea of Archer (and only Archer) being shown the borg as one reason for forming the Federation. This would, however, be pretty pointless as we already have the Romulans.

If the Federation was formed with the partly surreptitious purpose of uniting the quadrant against the Borg, why were Picard & Company left out of the strategic intelligence loop?

Majorbarcalow was a clever (and really funny, I might add) troll. He revealed himself quite a long time ago. But I know at least someone (not on this board) who's really looking forward to seeing "the coolest aliens" appearing on ENT. He's more of a casual viewer.

They have a poll running over there.

It's probably a bad idea (messes with continuity, overuse, etc) 81/23%
It's a really terrible idea 100/28%
I'll wait and see how the episode turns out 67/19%
I honestly have no opinion either way 6/01%
I didn't vote. I've like amybe three episodes so far this season, and that wont be enough to get me to come back to it nextseason. Once Buffy ends, I may drop the Superstations from my dish, and save myself 7 bucks a month. I don't watch them much except for those two shows.

While I was initially ready to shoot someone at Paramount over this, upon reading through the episode synopsis on TrekToday, I've come to the conclusion that it probably won't turn out to be so bad---provided that this doesn't become a recurrent thing. Actually, tying it in with First Contact is pretty clever writing, if you ask me.
And we do already know that there was knowledge of the Borg within the upper echelons of Starfleet long before TNG "Q Who?" as per VGR "The Raven" and "Dark Frontier."
Of course, you may take my opinion with the knowledge that I'm one of the few who wasn't outraged or even disappointed by "Acquisition," so...

It sounds pretty original to me, not as if we were really looking forward to our what? 22nd blatant Borg episode (+1 movie)....and 26th semi-Borg episode overall?? I mean, one way or another wasnt the 21st Century already aware of the Borg, a la Lily, not to mention ships named Enterprise?? Wait, who gets credit for Cochranes first flight, Riker and LaForge?? I hate paradoxs, though I think this is a good idea for an episode based on that premise. As long as they can manage to keep 22nd Century Borg, 22nd Century Borg Vessels, Janeway, Picard, Locutus, the Queen, Hugh, Lore, or Ferengi out of the picture there is a chance that keeping this episode an "isolated, what the hell are these things" episode then I will be able to sleep tonite.

Again, it's not the continuity we're worried about. It's the fact that a good show is expected to come up w/ something original, not rehash something that was used (by the same people) ad nauseam in the last series.
