I would love to see a ST movie that showed how the Borg became the Borg. Some crazy scientist creates some bionic man (he had the technology) and injected him with nanoprobes. Bionic man goes all psycho and starts assimilating people. General populace can't protect themselves and the first all-Borg planet comes into existence.
They could show some of the species they conquered to get some of the fantastic technology they have and how the hive mind came to be.
I would pay real cash moneys for a movie detailing the evolution of the Borg. What say you?

But how would it jive with the master race that seeded the klingons/vulcans/humans/romulans/bajorans/ferengi etc
When they explain cool things like this in Hollywood now it'd probably suck.
What spring does with the cherry trees.
[edit] Nevermind, I was wrong. Voyager 6 was modified by an already existing Borg unit or something.

I think this is non-canonical, too. Although I have no idea who's in charge of Trek canon.
V'ger?
Nah.
Well according to TNG, that happened hundreds of millions of years ago, I think. That's plenty of time for a species to evolve and develop the skills to accidentally unleash the Borg. It's like Skynet. Maybe they thought they were doing it for the betterment of their species and it came back to bite them in the ass. Imagine if the holographic doctors went all apeshit and started killing patients or something.
And the director said "Uh Mr. Shatner you are dead in the series I'm sorry"
and the reply is "But I wrote a book where I came back to life! It's totally canon! Come oonnnnnnnnn"
That later episode was actually due to and referenced the events in First Contact. Apparently at some point during First Contact, the Borg dropped something on Earth during Zephram Cochrane's time at the north pole or something, and then it got discovered by scientists and attacked the Enterprise. They managed to fend them off somehow, but they sent a subspace signal deep into the Gamma (or was it Delta, I don't remember, whichever was the one where Voyager ended up, not where the DS9 wormhole went) and they estimated it would reach someone there in XX number of years, which people figured out was about the time the Borg started showing up in Next Gen.
NNNNEEEERRRRRRDDDDD
Goddamn time travel
DS9 Wormhole goes to Gamma, Voyager was trapped in Delta.
I remember by using this simple trick:
DS9 was G(amma)oddamn awesome. Voyager was D(elta)umb.

I hate temporal mechanics.
There was one episode in the first or second season that many people took to be hints and Borg-type stuff where they run across this amazing unmanned ship-repair station out in space and hey, it can't be bad since it's just sitting out here without any explanation and it fixed us up real good but hey, one of our crew died in some freak accident, oh but wait he's not actually dead, the repair station stole him and faked his death and strapped him into the station all matrix/borg style and started sucking his life juices to power the station along with some other bodies that are just hanging there.
Then they win and escape, but right before the end credits, the station starts kinda reconfiguring itself and acting on its own like it's gonna go do something but nope, we never see it again, thanks Berman and Braga.
I think the sphere that went back in time actually crashed at the North Pole. When the researchers were digging around, they found the strange technology and eventually a frozen Borg.
Yup
I wanted to nail her before it turned out she was just a spine
Was that from Voyager? Or First Contact?
what do you mean
First Contact
I reckon Voyager has been mostly blocked from mah brain like a traumatic memory
Yeah they were and don't even get me started on how they had a thing going with Hugh that would have let them take the Borg in an interesting narrative direction but instead they made them the new Klingons BLARGH NEEEEERD RAAAAGE
The mystery is gone if its explained.
Still, I'd watch it if they made a Borg origin movie.
mystery can be a million times cooler than understanding
I think V was trying to be clever by making someone explain the prior quote and thus ruin it
Let's all shun him
like oooh isn't the force cool it's all mystical and shit some people have an affinity for it, others don't, it is mysterious and powerful-
wait what it's caused by microorganisms in the blood
what
that doesn't even make sense within the context of the hyperspace laser sword turbolaser world
Oh, whoops!
PA forum status: Shunned
I was going to make this a post about how I wasn't expecting him to be that clever and perhaps my meaning is that he is dumb but I don't think I know the guy well enough to be throwing around jokes like that
Was that the thing with the virus?
I remember there being a guy they found floating in a tank
who was injected with craploads of midichlorians
and had lightsabers implanted in his wrists, elbows and knees
"that's it," I thought, "I'm done with this"
