It fits well enough. Voyager portrayed the Q not as TNG's wise/whimsical gods, but as a kind of sufficiently hyper-advanced alien people. And First Contact/Voyager Borg were fairly consistent in representing themselves as some crazy hyper-dimensional hive mind that spanned multiple universes, and the robot dudes we saw were just the most disposable extrusion of that hive mind into our comprehensible three dimensions of space.

TNG Borg would be gently caress-all to TNG Q, but Voyager Borg might pose some higher-dimensional cosmos threat to Voyager Q.

Also, why are all the Q just hanging out in the Milky Way anyway? If there's an infinite number of galaxies out there, it seems silly to just fart around here.

Well, of course I know him.

Who's to say Q isn't appearing to 10,000 other beings in 10,000 other galaxies while he's trolling Picard in ours?

You puny-brained humans, always thinking in such limited dimensions. :smug:

Actually in the abortion of an episode Q2, Dad Q tells Son Q "Don't provoke the Borg!" as if there's some kind of danger the robot zombies could ever put the Q into.

Season 3 had Q show up having been banished from the Continuum because he'd kept loving around with lesser beings. It's probably less "hey, don't put the Continuum in danger" and more "hey, don't go around getting civilizations destroyed, because you'll get in trouble/we won't have as many toys to play with".

Fluidic space was the stupidest goddamn thing ever. I also would argue that Voyager should have been crushed immediately instead of just swimming around. It's an entire dimension filled with fluid. Wouldn't that be approaching infinite atmospheres of pressure?

Did Species 8472 even have ships? I seem to remember them just swimming through Fluidic Space. Seems like it'd be hard to mobilize strategic attacks on the Borg that way.

That's assuming gravity works the same way there. Maybe it's a lot weaker, basically the opposite of Raft.

They had ships, and they looked an awful lot like Vorlon ships.

Star Trek Armada 2 made a bunch of 8472 ships and they're basically the Zerg.

Didn't Enterprise have a species where all the ships and space stations were made from hundreds of tiny dodecahedral one-man ships? I liked that idea but you just know if you lived and worked inside your tiny ship it would smell like White Castle in like a week.

That was the Suliban. There was also a Voyager episode (The Disease) concerning a generation ship capable of breaking up into smaller vessels.

TOS had something like that, by way of The 25th Anniversary game. Dudes stored all their poo poo on dodecahedron hard drives.

Everything is Base10 with those fucks.
