Slightly related but I have always wondered wtf they borg must have thought in that first episode. They are going after this ship. Looks like its gonna go as easy as always. Then suddenly there is a bright flash of light and the fuckers spin away.
Could be what caused the Borg to have such an interest in the federation.
Pretty sure they were so into the federation for exactly that, because the Enterprise appeared out of nowhere, and then blasted itself back away. That’s crazy looking tech from thier point of view.
Even if they did know about Q, there’s really no reason to just assume it was him.
No, the Borg had already been probing the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire before that encounter.
Along the Neutral Zone various Federation and Romulan colonies disappeared, whole cities just scooped right up.
Q’s interference may have caused the Borg to attempt assimilating Earth much earlier than intended, but the Borg were already on their way and they had no idea.
Due to Q’s interference, however, the Federation was made aware of the Borg well before a Cube came on their doorstep.
Yep, Q literally said they were on the way to assimilate the Federation.

Honestly, yeah they had to have assimilated SOMEONE who had dealt with the fucker before.
Guinan’s (El-Aurian) peeps got meme’d by the Borg and they knew about Q so for sure the Borg knew about those fucking memers
aaah true.
Could they adapt to that kind of energy output? It’s funny how I accept the nomenclature of the Borg without considering the technological implications.
Could a cube just wave away that kind of energy output?
It would probably take longer for them to adapt to. They’ve been blown up with giant lasers before. I think eventually though, they would adapt. They don’t need to absorb or stop the energy, just redirect it around the cube
They take damage before adapting, don’t they? It’s fast but not immediate. They’d probably lose a cube in the first attack at least. I don’t know how far the hive mind extends, could they get details about the attack out to the other Borg before that first cube was destroyed by the murder moon?
Given the Borg’s transwarp network, communication probably has a low latency.
If the Borg could adapt Force powers, everyone would be fucked.
I find your lack of assimilation disturbing
Except for sand worlds … the Borg don’t like sand because it’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear you over the sound of my space magic that doesn’t need an in universe scientific explanation.
edit: totally, absolutely, unreservedly to be taken sarcastically as I’ve stopped caring about the canon of Star Wars.
Look, if you’re not going to take this seriously… I’m out.
Oh, hey, it’s that Simpsons meme.
NICE MASK HEY COME BACK
Not a problem the gravitational beam emitter can’t solve. let’s see the fuckers adapt to this!
I’m a simple man. I see Blame!, I upvote.
