“It doesn’t look bigger… we will continue taking the pills and check again tomorrow.”
It always caused me some pause when thinking how Borg are selective in assimilation and how they even actively discard irrelevant (but already assimilated) data.
But then I remember humans and our “works” … so yes, Borg are smart.
I wish to be assimilated. I’ll complete their meme database in exchange for deleting everything else I can’t delete myself.
It would be amazing if there was an alternate universe where the borg evolved from chatgpt. Like, it’s constantly wrong and broken but all the races are driving the assimilation out of the belief that one day the borg collective start solving problems.
Oh no! They got to Data!
I’ve always assumed the Borg Queen is a representation of the Borg’s collective will, not the de facto leader. She does the things she does because the whole collective is agreeing to do what she does. She’s just the tangible point the audience can focus on.
That’s my headcanon as well, even if it doesn’t/might not quite fit the lore exactly 100%.
Like, the queen can instantly inhabit any (or all?) advance drone and at the same time a queen can restore the collective if something were to happen to it.
However Im super happy how the Borg queen arc in Picard ended (RIP actress :|), so for that alone I’m ok with a queen.
