If the borg were wiped out then why would they have to study them to
create better armour to defend against them?

Well to be fair, the better armor thing was done in an alternate timeline (before Janeway went back).

But I agree the Borg were not destroyed.

The armour thing could cause a paradox, no? Perhaps they wouldn't have had the armour in the future if they didn't go back in time in order to give it to the past?

Not a paradox. 2 timeline where created. Though the Queen believed it to be a linear timeline(as she believed if she killed young Janeway on Voyager in End game) its actually not. Changes to the past makes a new timeline, but doesn't destroy the old.

The Borg were all destroyed! Bueee, ghaaa, dead! But then we need another game, another series, and of course the super-villain has to return for the hero to do the heroing again! Borg resurrection, hey-hey, more money in Star Trek pockets, and the customer is satisfied too!!!!

PostSun May 31, 2009 1:53 pm    Borg not destroyed

I think Star Trek wants us to believe the Borgs very foundation and hold on the galaxy was shaken-- and this was done by Voyager. The trans-gallactic hub in the beta quadrant was destroyed too along with numerous Borg cubes. Maybe it altered the Borgs plan to eventually control the Galaxy- and, given the window, that is what they would do.

The Transwarp Hub was located in the Delta Quadrant actually.

But you right about the Borg being very shaken and their postion in the galaxy at least at some level decreased.

Interesting to point out though, the transwarp hub had an end point right next to earth itself, only a couple of million kilometers.... In the future where Admiral janeway came from they hadn't destroyed the Hub when they where on their way home, they just ignored it and only arrived home years later. But still the borg never attacked Earth through the hub, which would have been more devastating then anything ever before(imagine a Borg cube popping up right next to Earth)... Admiral Janeway did know that there was a transwarp hub there though, so they must have gone back to find out what it was, or have suffered an actual attack from the transwarp corridor.

Some might point out that is another "stupidity" of the borg thing, but after Manitou's post i've actually become to wonder if it wasn't the Borgs intention to place these Borg hubs all over the Galaxy and make one big massive attack on all Quadrants at the same time when they had all transwarp corridors in place.

That would sort of explain the reason after the Borgs failed attempts to attack and assimilate Earth twice... They wheren't attacking, they where merely testing, gathering info, maybe get a better reading on the location of the corridor they placed right next to it...

Thing to think about.

I like your theory lionhead. It makes the Borg seem more intelligent then is shown on the show(s) itself.

I still maintain the Borg survived Endgame, though.

PostThu Jun 11, 2009 8:23 pm    What happened in Endgame

These are some important excerpts in the Endgame episodes where they display the status of the Borg.
Adm. Janeway has Janeway to deploy Borg resistant ablative armor and to cruise into the anomaly to study it. After they come near---
Seven: It's more than that - it's a Transwarp Hub.
Janeway: You once told me their were only six of them in the Galaxy.
Seven: Correct!
Tuvok: Of all the Borg's tactical advantages- this could be the most significant.
Adm. Janeway felt it a necessity to accept Janeway's outlook toward the Borg and used the Hub to get to the queen to give Voyager a tactical advantage.
Queen: What do you want?
Adm. Janeway: To make a deal. Capt. Janeway thinks I'm here to destroy your Transwarp Network.
Queen: We will adapt.
Adm. Janeway: Eventually, but not before Voyager does a great deal of damage.
What Adm. Janeway said could mean a Trans-Galactic Network or just that particular Hub. It could imply either one, so their is no telling if more then the one Trans-Warp Hub was destroyed. A good story site I founded is - http://www.voyagr-ep-memorys.com

I believe there were six hubs, and they destroyed one. It's not about the hubs, it's about the pathogen the Queen assimilated from Janeway that infected her, hence infected the collective. That is what is in question. What consequences did that "infection" have on the collective? We aren't told exactly what this pathogen was. Remember I, Borg; when Picard was going to send an invasive program back with Hugh to infect the collective? It was implied that program would have annihilated the Borg. Was this "pathogen" designed to do the same? We aren't told. My guess is that the Borg still exist, but perhaps they were radically changed. Maybe they're confused and are breaking up into smaller individual groups; or maybe they are now warring against themselves, trying to assimilate other groups into their particular collective. Who knows? Fun to speculate, but we aren't told. But I do think most are still "alive", regardless of how they have been affected by the "infection".
