Star Trek: The Borg - Life As You Know It Is Over - HD
- 9 years ago
The Borg at their finest. A very dark interpretation of the most evil of species. Included is a mock up of an encounter with James T. Kirk that we have spent weeks putting together to show what it may have been like.
Borg is a collective proper noun for a fictional alien race that appears as recurring antagonists in the Star Trek franchise. The Borg are a collection of species that have been turned into cybernetic organisms functioning as drones in a hive mind called the Collective, or the hive. The Borg use a process called assimilation to force other species into the Collective by violent injection of microscopic machines called nanoprobes. The Borg's ultimate goal is "achieving perfection". Aside from being the main threat in First Contact, the Borg play major roles in The Next Generation and Voyager television series, primarily as an invasion threat to the United Federation of Planets, and serve as the way home to the Alpha Quadrant for isolated Federation starship Voyager.
The Borg have become a symbol in popular culture for any juggernaut against which "resistance is futile". TV Guide named the Borg #4 in their 2013 list of The 60 Nastiest Villains of All Time.
The Borg were designed to evoke Transhumanism. With their frightening appearance, immense power, and, most importantly, their sinister motive, the Borg became the signature villains for the The Next Generation and Voyager eras of Star Trek. In Voyager episode "Q2", even Q tells his son "if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times... [yells] don't provoke the Borg".
Also referred to as the "hive mind" or "collective consciousness", the Borg Collective is a civilization with a group mind. Each Borg individual, or drone, is linked to the collective by a sophisticated subspace network that ensures each member is given constant supervision and guidance. The collective is broadcast over a subspace domain similar to that used by the transporter. Being part of the collective offers significant biomedical advantages to the individual drones. The mental energy of the group consciousness can help an injured or damaged drone heal or regenerate damaged body parts or technology. The collective consciousness not only gives them the ability to "share the same thoughts", but also to adapt with great speed to defensive tactics used against them.
We have put together the 'best' Borg bits, and spent weeks making our own 'mini-episode of an encounter with James T Kirk and a confrontation with the Borg.
