All Janeway's fault?

[Captain Shaw]

If Admiral Janeway hadn't gone back in time and infected the borg to get Voyager home early, Would Frointer day still have happened?
If they find away to bring Shaw back, he's going to have another Admiral to be upset with.

If she hadn't, the original Borg would have been much stronger and possibly overrun the Galaxy by 2402.

But either way, I doubt they would have come up with the Frontier Day shenanigans as we saw it happen.

Not necessarily. The Endgame future takes place in 2404 and the Borg hadn't conquered the galaxy.

The All Good Things (alternate) future didn't come to pass either. But you got a point.

It did seem starfleet was holding it's own agaist the Borg.
Future Janeway had all that sweet technology.

Voyager made the Borg out to be conservationists and farmers.

With Transwarp speed, they could have assimilated the entire Galaxy in days.

They only assimilated races who had something of Value and unique, that would elevate the Borg as a whole.

So the Borgs are more of collector rather than conqueror?

I was expecting this to be about Icheb

They can assimilate any planet in a day and transmigrate the entire milky way in just hours.

The Borg did not assimilate the Kazon, aggressively.

SEVEN: The Kazon. Species three two nine.
NEELIX: You're familiar with them.
SEVEN: The Borg encountered a Kazon colony in the Gand Sector, grid six nine two zero.
NEELIX: Were they assimilated?
SEVEN: Their biological and technological distinctiveness was unremarkable. They were unworthy of assimilation.
NEELIX: I didn't realise the Borg were so discriminating.
SEVEN: Why assimilate a species that would detract from perfection?
NEELIX: Good point. Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm needed in the shuttlebay. Pleasant regenerating.

Wasn't there a line, saying something like" the Kazon wasn't worth assimilating?

I supplied the relevant text from Mortal Coil in the quote block above your post.

I don't know if it's her *fault* in that she bears culpability for what happened but the events are certainly causally connected.

It's funny, it was 100% by accident but they backed into an almost Marvel-level shared universe thing with S3 of PIC, given the connections to and between the stories/exploits of TOS, TNG, DS9, and VOY. If they knew what they had I wonder if they would've blown the doors off....

It's like the borg version of the prime directive. Don't assimilate a species until they have sufficiently evolved.

 

[Guy Gardener]

It's like the borg version of the prime directive. Don't assimilate a species until they have sufficiently evolved.

Although an amendment to that directive seems to be "poke at them so that they evolve faster"

It's one belief that the only reason the Borg bothered with such a young species in the first place is that they wanted that Star Drive the Enterprise used to get to System j25 so very quickly in Q Who... And boy was there egg on their face when they figured out that it was not a Star Drive after all.

Given the sheer number of butterflies loosed over the centuries by assorted Trek time travelers, the number of potentially blame-worthy people is huge.

It actually makes sense, if you are a species that plays the long game. Don't assimilate indiscriminately- wait till those peasants have something worthy to offer the cause, then grab it! It's like an investment.

 

[Dukhat]

Not necessarily. The Endgame future takes place in 2404 and the Borg hadn't conquered the galaxy.

And the Endgame future was the original prime timeline before Admiral Janeway went back in time and changed it for her own selfish reasons, thereby denying Harry Kim a promotion and a ship to command, still being an ensign in 2401.

"There's wasn't exactly time to take a poll." My favorite Janeway line.

 

[Timofnine]

There is no evidence that the virus inflicted upon the Borg preceding Picard season 3 is the same as Janeway’s Neurolytic pathogen from 20 year earlier.

Janeway’s virus caused the Queen to lose contact with the majority of the Borg collective, and disrupted her control over the shielding protecting the inter spacial manifolds supporting the Borg Transwarp network and its hubs allowing Voyager to get home whilst largely destroying the Borgs transport network in the process. However, Borg sphere 634 assimilated and adapted to this particular pathogen, so I am not sure why Janeway is being blamed for the Picard season 3 viral scourge which has quite different symptoms.

I blame Section 31, after all, there is precedent for them inflicting virii on enemy species in times of war, such as in the case of the Founders/Changelings. Blaming Janeway is entirely circumstantial, nothing was implicitly stated about the origins of this particular Borg virus in Picard season 3.
