The Borg Civil War

Why didn't the writers never mention it again? Specially in the series finale. Their help could have replaced Admiral Janeway's, with the time devoted to the "future" instead being used for closure after they arrived on Earth (meeting loved ones, maquis trial, and so on)

Imagine that instead of Batmobile Voyager, we would get Voyager and a fleet of "Free Borg" ships going against the Colective. Could have been epic...
 
Could have been. You won't get an argument from me. It would have been nice to tie back into the resistance movement from the beginning of the season. But this is Voyager, remember? UPN didn't think the audience could remember that far back in time. ;)
 
Praetorian, I like your idea a lot more, if the Borg are to be used in the finale, but I'm afraid Akiraprise is right. There was basically a network mandate to ignore continuity. :rolleyes:
 
Why do you say it was the network's mandate? Was it really?
Well yeah, Voyager has the worst continuity of any show ever.
 
Describe the look on her face?

that line is so ditzy.

The Queen had just helped Janeway to execute over a hundred thousand drones to find these sleepers, but no it's so much worse to wake them up and give these buggers no place to hide.

I should have imagined that the Queen would have said "thank you" for showing her who to kill?

I like it. It gives the borg episodes more of an arc type feel. Rather than being pointless stand alone adventures. Yet I also like the idea of not hearing from the Borg rebels, as it leaves their fates up to the imagination...and I imagine their fates were rather dire. Still. Axiom could have replaced Chakotay in the romancing of Seven, which in itself would have been a huge improvment. :techman:
 
the producers cockblocked anyoneelse from writing too Borg or Timetravel because EVERYONE wanted to write Borg and Timetravel, which is the same with any show, the obvious stories have to be stopped and/or saved by sweeps and then only written by these proucers because then it seems that they write the best stories when really they write the story they alreay told 30 people that they were not allowed to write... Which is why Fanfiction is so samey.

But he couldn't.

They said his body was a Cube on the edge of Fluidic space, I think?

Which I don't get. Was Fluidic space a dimension or another relm of space that boarderd our own?
 
That was a screw up by the writers I think...Unless there was tear in space that led to Fluidic Space where his cube was...
 
The whole 'fluidic space' thing never made sense to me. It's an oxymoron, first of all. Second, it's either in another dimension, or it isn't.

Personally, I never liked Axom. I'm not sure if it was the actor or the character or a little of both. But seeing a recurring Borg civil war, culminating with a finale that resolved it and did away with the Borg would have been pretty awesome.

IN scorpion, it's clearly another universe that is surprised our universe exists, in Unimatrix Zero Axom says that he is in a cube patrolling the border of Fluidic space. Now either there was another corridor/breech or one of the writers therein was a dopey monkey.

Fluidic space hmmm? Did it look muh like that pea soup the sphere builders were transforming Xindi space into?
