That's where the Okudagram is, yes.
Vulcan skin cream really works wonders.![]()
That's ok they made Jennifer Lien play a one year old.While looking at this thread the other night I started to wonder what if they made Janeway a lt commander (maybe specialising in the sciences) who becomes captain after loosing the original plus the XO but make Chakotay a bit older but also a former full commander who has many logged years of command experience before leaving to join the Marquee.
This could cause some interesting dynamics as the most qualified person to run the ship would Chakotay against the inexperienced one who is in command due to the normal line of succession and the dealing with the fact that the XO is more qualified than she is.
This could then (eventually) lead to a bit of a mentor type role and Janeway growing into the captains position. Though I am not sure if you would have to re-cast Janeway so she is a little younger?
I don't like to believe that the Borg carve out territory. Even with a group leader like the Queen Bee, I still like to imagine that the Borg see all space as being "Borg Space". They don't give a f*** if Romulans, Federation, Vidians, Kazon, Klingons, Cardies etc have already 'claimed' it. Those people will be assimilated.
It's one of the many ways in which I feel Voyager unfortunately 'conventionalised' the Borg concept, by making them this species that has clearly defined areas of the map in which they inhabit, and Janeway being able to declare definitively "We're Now Entering Borg Space".
The Borg should've been a threat from day one. They should've been lurking around every corner. The whole of the Delta Quadrant is "Borg Space", not just the bits litered with their transwarp conduits.
I like the notion from Voyager that the Borg chose not to assimilate inferior species.
In what some would describe as a blatant ratings grab, I'd go ahead and add a mandatory lotion-rubbing, strip-down-to-undies-style decon chamber to the transporter room.
I always had the impression that Voyager "entering Borg Space" was not meant literally, as in: this is the area the Borg claim sovereignty over.
Rather I think it meant the space where the Borg had already assimilated all there was to assimilate, space that was only inhabited by Borg drones.
Of course that opens the question what exactly the Borg do with a species/world once they have assimilated it... What do the Borg when they aren't subjugating others?
I can only picture them simply moving on to the next target.
It would have been interesting if Voyager had entered the inner reaches of "Borg Space" only to find it filled with nothing but hundreds of abandoned, strip-mined worlds and drifting pieces of derelict Borg cubes... All the Borg are at the frontline, none at home.
