Maybe because Voyager totally over-used the Borg and turned them from "menacing" into "cute"?

Um...I'm quite certain that the Borg weren't only on Voyager. And, again unless I'm mistaken, the Borg weren't first seen on Voyager either. So, why does it bring VOYAGER discussion to a low, and not ALL of the series?



Because this is www.stratrekVoyager.com

I don't think they go to the bathroom, eat, shower, etc either. All nutrients are synthesized by their technological components.

How can Voyager have over done it with the Borg? If memory serves, there are only 4 episodes with the Borg from Voyager. 3 of them though were 2 part episodes if I remember correctly.

Actually. There where 23 episodes with the borg in them in VOY.

7 episodes in TNG

1 in DS9 and ENT

Really? 23? I counted 10 off the top of my head immediately...but I didn't realize that there were THAT many... wow.

Unity
Scorpion Pt I & II (yes I counted them as 2, not 1 episode)
Collective (I think that's it, the one where we get the kids)
Drone
Dark Frontier Pt I & II
Unimatrix Zero Pt I & II
Endgame (I counted that as one episode, but it could be 2 episodes)

Those are the 10 I counted immediately. I knew there were a few missing, but didn't realize it was a whole 13 missing...

I would not count Q2 in the collection of borg episodes, there were many species in that episode and the borg were only in it for like 3 miutes!

But it does count. They were visually seen. Both the actual drones and their cubes. It counts.

Otherwise you could say "Blood Fever" doesn't count, because we only saw a dead borg drone and he was on for less time than those in "Q2."

They both count.
