Now, here's a question that's been on my mind since the 'Descent' episodes.
IF Hugh's virus made the Borg indepentant, then why, are they still a
collective?
I have an idea as to why, but was it ever mentioned anywhere?

assistant: On 12/02/97, as the end of the world slowly approaches,
JOE SIEGLER commented to ALL about "Janeway/Kirk/DaVinci":
That one stuck out to me as well.  I couldn't ever remember Kirk mentioning
that he had met DaVinci.  Of course, the writers could say that that was from
one of the missions that we never saw.
Or, it could be from one of the novels.  Since I haven't read them all, and
stopped a few years ago, it could be in there....
I think it was a ploy to make TOS viewers sit up and say "What?!"

Write your reply.

assistant: The makeup that they're using is different then the older makeup which caused
problems in the past.. obviously depending on the actors complexion, etc etc.
Brent Spinner had no problems with Data's makeup since it seemed to help his
complexion.. or so he says.
The studio's and major makeup artists strive to make it easier and less
costly to the artists.. these tricks eventually filter out into other
production companies, etc.
In fact last time I was in front of the camera (for a local LA show), it was
a period piece in black and white about something that went on in the
1800's.. and my makeup was actually "Hulk" green... yes, the makeup guy was
the same one that did Lou Ferigno all those years and he had plenty left
over. Didn't clog my pores at all..interesting piece, and I got to scare the
heck out of several people by wandering around in makeup. ;)

Leonard Nimoy was approached during a speaking engagement in Hollywood,
following the live broadcast of FIRST MEN IN THE MOON with Ethan Phillips,
John DeLancie and William Shatner...specifically, he was asked about his
possible appearance as Spock in the next Trek film.
His reply was that he _had_ been approached, since the storyline involved the
RE-UNITING OF THE VULCANS AND ROMULANS.
He rejected the offer, and will not be appearing...yet.
ST:RENEGADE and ST:ARMAGEDDON scenarios would seem to be invalid, if this is
true, though it is possible that the ST:RENEGADE plotline could be twisted to
meet this.
No "garlic muffin" storyline, either...yet.

As for why only some of the Borg were affected, I really don't know.
