Seven of Nine is gonna be in Picard so I guess someone cares. And if they are following the main timeline, then the fact that future Janeway used a future virus to do genocide on the Borg is gonna be important. There is a goddamn derelict Borg cube in the first episode that Romulans are harvesting for parts or something.

mind the walrus posted:Invert this. Aside from fondness for the actors, no one gives a gently caress about anything from Voyager. Meanwhile Enterprise was mostly wet toast, but you still get nods to it in like Star Trek: Beyond. Enterprise gets nods because it's inconsequential. Voyager can be ignored with a retcon at least, like saying do you think the Borg are stupid enough to be wiped out with just one stroke? Even Data couldn't get the Borg to self-destruct. Although I'd still like to know what the hell happened to Edison and his crew in the prime timeline, if those events began before Nero's incursion. doverhog posted:Bond is like, watchable garbage. I mean I wouldn't and don't watch it anymore more but it was something on TV. If you've ever read the novels, that's basically what they were. They were fun adventure novels you read while on the train or whatever, and could forget about. It's only been recent where they've tried to make them more than just blockbusters. I appreciate it when they try to make a better story than the average one and break the formula, but when they attempt it and fail, it comes out stupid. I just remembered The World Is Not Enough attempted some kind of love story with Bond and Elektra King, and it made no sense.

I mean, it's also possible that the time police went "yeah well they were fighting the Borg so...we'll let that one slide." I think the Borg are one of those "all bets are off, this is desperate, do what you have to do" situations.

doverhog posted:I wanna see if Picard addresses how Janeway used time travel to destroy the Borg, using a virus from the future. The second episode of Picard has a character expressing concern that the Borg would be interested in the derelict Cube the Romulans are stripping for parts. Another character reassured them that the Borg have abandoned it. So it sounds like the Borg are still an issue.

doverhog posted:Using a virus against the Borg is a war crime. If you wanna argue that war crimes are ok some times, ok, let's argue. Are you saying using a virus is a war crime because using biological weapons in the real world in 2020 is a war crime? Because using a computer virus is not the same as a biological one. Or is there some super geek canon somewhere that computer viruses were banned by the future star trek governments?

coronavirus posted:Are you saying using a virus is a war crime because using biological weapons in the real world in 2020 is a war crime? I don't have the text of the Federation charter here, so feel free to contradict me if you do. My impression from various episodes I couldn't name right now is that the Federation considers the use of such weapons criminal. The Borg are not computers, and even if they were, Data had human rights and he was a computer. They even had an episode where Picard was forced to argue that question in a military tribunal and his position won. Starfleet appears to have gone down a dark path since then though. But yeah it appears from the second episode the Borg are not wholly extinct despite Janeway's actions. Let's not forget by the way that she didn't just unleash the virus, she also used future tech to destroy the transwarp conduit the Borg used for long distance travel, which would have a pretty significant effect on a civilization spanning almost a quadrant of the Milky Way.

But, it’s also the Borg, who are basically an existential threat to organic life and are almost impossible to stop through conventional means.

The borg are computer people so that makes using a computer virus on them the same as a biological virus on us.

My impression from various episodes I couldn't name right now is that the Federation considers the use of such weapons criminal. To be fair though Data was pretty chill and didn't have a habit of conquering everything he saw. The Borg pretty much only existed to expand and subsume all other intelligent life. The ones that got disconnected from the collective could be convinced to knock it the hell off but that was a difficult thing to do, it was clearly a traumatic experience, and they quit being Borg when that happened.

Kaiju Cage Match posted:"Bro" is a bad insult since it makes people sound much more fun. Like hell yeah I'd play beer pong with Bernie Bros or Wicca Bros. It implies that masculinity is bad, and therefore being someone's brother is also inherently bad. There is a lot that could be said about this but to keep it short just compare Clinton and Sanders and consider which is actually bad.
