    Unpopular opinion: I didn’t like the whole borg queen story. The idea that they were a decentralized network assimilating others to extract useful things, was much more appealing to me.

      Yeah, it kinda ruined the Borg for me. I get that having a faceless decentralised collective as an antagonist is a challenge to write, but giving them a face is the laziest possible way to get out of it.

      My thought is the Borg Queen is less actually in control of the collective and more like the voice of the collective, similar to Locutus. She’s also the outlet for every drone’s horniness…
