Talk:Borg/Archive 2

message: The Borg think they are perfect yet they seem unaware of The Q.  I emailed a long message about this to a friend of Jeri Ryan and a year later Q's son met Seven of Nine on an episode of voyager.  Yet, so far The Borg Queen has never met any of The Q and she seems unaware that they exist and are impossible for the borg to do anything about.  I think this must be noted somewhere.

message: Hello there. I've added the Reavers, the nomadic cannibals from Firefly into the "See Also" section. They're not exactly the same as the Borg, nor am I aware of what the similarities are (Haven't seen much Trek), but from what I can tell, they're definitely similar.

replies: text: Both are similar in that they're juggernauts. :)  I also like the other recent addition, "We, Borg." E Pluribus Anthony 05:10, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm familiar with both mythologies, and I would disagree pretty strongly that the Reavers belong here. The Reavers are vicious, brutal, and unthinking--aggression personified. They mortify their own flesh and seek only to kill. They have no philosophy as such, and although they seem to lack individuality, they don't appear to have any overarching organization, either. The Borg are coldly intellectual, organized, and motivated by a distinct, abstract, philosophical goal. Although both possess zombie-like unthinking implacability, I don't think that's sufficient to draw the parallel. I would recommend that the bullet point on Reavers be removed from this section entirely.--216.43.17.100 19:17, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

text: The Death's Head II link does not belong here. As you stated in your edit, he is nearly the complete opposite of the Borg. This is not, by any version of the english language, 'similar.' If we are to begin adding any subject to See Also, merely to compare the Borg to them when there is only the slightest connection between the two, I fully expect to see Microsoft and Darth Vader added to the list, as both are closer to the subject material than Death's Head II. - Hayter 17:59, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I personally think that the comparisons between the Borg and Islam should be removed entirely, particularly in the view that the Al Queda wasn't really big in world news during the time the Borg were conceived.--Vercalos 17:58, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello!  Agreed: the comparisons between the Borg and Islam are uncited and POV: any belief set may have parallels to the Borg and singling out Islam just highlights the bias of the user(s) who persist in including it in the article. E Pluribus Anthony 18:51, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Criticisms

message: Now that we actually do have a conversation going on the topic, anybody object to my unprotecting the article in about one and a half hours (if I don't fall asleep before then)?  --Nlu 23:25, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Fine by me! :) E Pluribus Anthony 23:30, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

text: Unprotected.  Please note I will reprotect if things go back the way they were before the protection.  --Nlu 01:12, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Acknowledged; as well, have decisions been made regarding the related article and its nomination for deletion, which apparently has unanimous support? E Pluribus Anthony 19:46, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I strongly believe the borg communicate with machine language fundementaly. --Cool CatTalk|@ 12:10, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Language 

message: The Borg do not use telepathy.  As Cybernetic-Organic entites, they use technology.  As was seen in Voyager, they blocked their signals to Seven of Nine by shutting off her sub-space radio connection (or something radio).  They are not telepathic.  If there is no dissent, I move to change the article to reflect the situation as portrayed in the series BoLingua
:Some species of the Borg are telepathic, this is due to their assimilation of telepathic species.  You are correct, they do not use telepathy to communicate with each other no more than they talk to communicate with each other.  However, the option is available to them when communicating with other species, again, because of their assimilation of telepathic species such as the Betazoid.  --Evmore 07:23, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
