galagazombie posted:“Mitochondrial Eve” doesn’t mean she’s the only one who has descendants. It means she’s the earliest person to which everyone is a descendant due to how family trees intermingle. The other survivors still had descendants, there just isn’t one of them that is the ancestor of everyone. Except the Y-Chromosome Adam. But most modern estimates put him a few thousand years apart from mitochondrial Eve. Yup, this. And, importantly, the name will apply to different people over time as the population changes. For an extreme case, if every human dies except you (and optionally some of your siblings), then your mom just became the new Mitochondrial Eve. ...Hmm, there's a yo mama joke in there somewhere.

Borg Baby Boxes are one of things that got dropped when First Contact retconned the Borg from a civilization that essentially reached singularity and became subsumed by their own technology paperclip machine style, into merely a zombie plague run by Rita Repulsa. There's a distinct difference between TNG Borg, who merely use assimilation as a way to acquire new genetic and scientific information to include in their designer children, and the FC/Voyager/Picard Borg, where Assimilation is a way the Queen to acquire slaves for menial labor whose only worth is as a warm body. Picard S3 even outright said the Borg can't make new Borg, only infect others with the zombie virus. Which is farcical because it implies for millennia the Queen never figured out Tab A is inserted into Slot B or had less advanced cloning than literally every other race in the series. Even the Klingons know how to clone, they just choose not to for honor reasons.

I just gotta say that Paramount Plus is the jankiest piece of poo poo I've ever been forced to watch something on. Everything is always hosed up except the ads they find a way to Kramer into everything despite claims of ad-free. What gives!

It stops playing ads on Paramount Plus if you watch more than one episode but the first episode you watch will have a ad. I mean Paramount Plus is my Star Trek streaming service. That's it.

On a related note, do Borg drones stop ageing once they're assimilated? (And out of the maturation pods if that's where they came from.) Are they basically immortal?

Tiberius Christ posted:Defeating the Borg queen by making out with her is obviously the most Star Trek thing ever Look they were just trying to make it realistic. NASA has studied this problem extensively and this was just followed all their official recommendations when encountering it. All though there does seem to be a suspiciously large amount of alien related problems that NASA's official recommend solution for solving involves making out with them.

Also they clearly mature given that Seven was assimilated when she was a little girl. Borg puberty must be rough. They gotta replace all the cyborg stuff like every couple of months.

Explain why this has not been done." "We will do it tomorrow." "Temporal error: you said you were going to do it tomorrow yesterday. And you have not cleaned your alcove even though you promised you would." "We hate this cube. Why can't you leave us alone. Can we have some money."

Nah, when they're kids they put some basic cyborg stuff on them, hook up their brains, and then shove them in a maturation chamber until they're fully grown. Seven was assimilated when she was six and became a proper drone when she popped out of the chamber fully grown to an adult five years after that. Then she was a drone for 18 years before Voyager rescued her. Given that she didn't look about 40 when she was rescued, I'm guessing that they hold back the ageing process after they're done maturing.

Do they have to go on amazon and order a bunch of sketchy off brand lightning link to usb-C adapters to plug their bits in?

You're getting a welding torch for an arm because the Cube needs repairs and you're tall enough to get the high spots.

In Voyager people seemingly sprout borg implants in short order after being infected by nanoprobes, so making changes to them when necessary or useful should be a walk in the park.
