Why don't the Borg just send like 10,000 cubes to conquer the Federation?

Now they just need to get a sponsorship deal with Big Brother.

Borg - Cool. Calm. Collected.

That was truly inspired. WIN!

 

[CaptainWacky]

Resistence is futile is already pretty catchy anyway.

 

[Yub]

That one of Wacky's would work really well if the Borg were all hip twenty somethings drinking their chai lattes, forcing others to join them in their coolness simply by being cool and hip twenty somethings.

It was even catch ten years earlier when they used it for the Vogons in hitchikers guide to the galaxy

 

[Yub]

It was just that Vogon guard who was looking to get that all important promotion by shouting at people, to be fair.

Have you been reading my proposal?

Is it a sit com about six borg, that you plan to sell to ABC and channel four, called "drones"?

 

[headvoid]

It's actually about 4 borg who are given a hopelessly uncool species to make cool.

The 4 borg are:
Mucho Macho Unit (he's got a six pack welded to his chest)
Pedro Unit (he thinks clunky walks are Soooooooooo last year)
Crew Cut Unit (he acts straight to appeal to the soccer mum market)
Kid Bro Unit (everyone loves him, he has had some emotions implanted so he cries a lot)

They take the species adding things to them, assimilating their flat and clothing. I am building to have a number of catchphrases.

"Let's Borg Baby!"
"Borg Up" (said in the MC hammer style)

It's researched well, although I had to the cast to stop assimilating the test audiences. Those boys just can't keep their probes to themselves!

 

[CaptainWacky]

That sounds awesome, but they need a free-spirited dippy blond Borg girl to be the "heart" of the unimatrix.

Didn't the Vogons say "resistence is useless"? A subtle difference!

 

[whisky]

Indeed, but very, very close.

And considering they ended up calling another race Vorgons, you have to wonder if the TNG writers werent a little infulenced by the show.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Lore was clearly modelled on Marvin. "Life? Don't talk to me about life..."

 

[whisky]

Did he actually say that?

I know they put a lot of 42's in the show, but then every show does now.

 

[CaptainWacky]

No. But he was quite paranoid!
