Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x11 - "Perpetual Infinity"

[IMC Headquarters]

Is anyone else a fan of the delightfully macabre work by Edward Gorey, namely his 1963 art book The GashlycrumbTinies that (ostensibly) teaches kids their ABCs with dark twisted humor? It's great stuff if you don't mind the dark humor of young children dying in horrible ways .

It starts:

A is for Amy who fell down the stairs
B is for Basil assaulted by bears
C is for Clara who wasted away
D is for Desmond thrown out of a sleigh

Your post reminds me of that book.

Here's a DSC version of it, but since I can't think of enough DSC characters who died who could fill in the ABCs in order, I'm going to cheat and skip a few letters:

A is for Airiam, blown out an airlock
C is for Connolly, smashed by a rock
G is for Georgiou, impaled with a mek'leth
H is for Hugh, neck snapped upon his last breath

Not familiar with the aforementioned work. The contemplation of mortality is a vital lens which makes life nearer and dearer every moment...

If they are hitting the reset button, then they might as well let it all hang out.

If it is all building to a reset then they can pretty much do what they like, even if its only a partial one.

However for them to truly become the Borg they have to be sent to the Delta Quadrant for it to line up with the timeline as that is where the Borg are believed to originate when they are encountered by Picard and then again by Janeway.

Even so it would be a big jump for an already pure AI to decide it needs organics to evolve, especially as the Borg considered Data to be close to perfection.

Some things point to it being the Borg while others bring it in to question.

I'd prefer it if Control was deconstructed to inhabit a floating conch shell with display face that acts as a supervisor to one exiled Jesse doing hard time on planet Earth...

This song kinda fits Leland as he is now.

The whole Borg thing raises way more questions than I think it is worth it. There is little, if anything, that would actually make me want to see the Borg in DSC and it could be what pushes me away from this show.

Just treat it as an alternate timeline.

So close to perfection the Borg Queen felt the need to install organics on him in order to get him closer to the kind of boyfriend she wanted.

No. I hate the Borg and all they stand for in Star Trek and this point.

I'll treat the show as nonexistent.

I've always loved the Borg. Besides, we haven't seen them since 2002. I have a feeling we're about due for an appearance.

They belong in the TNG era.

Nah, especially in a reboot/alternate timeline. I was hoping they'd show up in the Abrams films, but I have a feeling that train has already derailed.

 

[Longinus]

Yep. I wouldn't mind seeing them on the Picard show, considering that they're his arch nemesis, but if they bring them in DIS, it will be at least as awkward as their appearance on ENT, probably more so if this is some nonsensical and convoluted origin story.

This is really surprising coming from you. Well, now you know how I feel about the Section 31 and the Sporedrive!

It's been a nice run without them. I don't see any need to have them come back. I don't know what they could possibly add.

Yes, I guess I do. Yes, I do not like the Borg. Yes, it would be one thing to push me away from Discovery because the Borg are overdone, watered down and ruined. To my mind they are a creative dead end with little (if anything) that could be added to their lore.

But, I'm sure there are those who will love it. I hope they enjoy their Borg.

 

[BillJ]

Possibly subscribers. Which is what every decision on these shows are designed to increase.

I still don't think the Borg are going to be involved in the resolution of this arc.

I am sure I will not be missed then.

That's pretty much my only hope at this point.

Man, if I could tough it out for multiple years of non-sense, a couple episodes of Borg won't hurt you.

I'm not willing to take the chance. I don't have the longsuffering attitude like you do.

I continue to be amazed at the casting. Sonja Sohn was great. Her scenes with Michael and Phillips were some of the best I've seen all show.
