If you're the Captain of a starship, your crew will risk life and limb to rescue you from a Borg Cube and find a way to remove the Borg implants. If you're an unlucky crewman that gets assimilated on board your own ship, that same Captain will just tell your mates to kill you on sight. ~ JumpinJack

    Starfleet is more worried about the possibility of an "unstable" captain in the mix, than they are about having their most battle tested and enemy experienced field general involved in a life and death battle for the fate of the planet. ~ JumpinJack

      The Borg won't attack you unless they feel threatened. In fact, if you have a phaser rifle in your hands - as long as it's not pointed at them they'll ignore you completely. Could somebody explain to me how these idiots managed to advance at all? ~ JumpinJack

        Apparently, holographic bullets (with the safety protocols turned off) go right through Borg force shields and are effectively lethal. I think Starfleet Intelligence REALLY missed the boat on that one... ~ JumpinJack

          Yeah, if I saw a guy jump down 6 stories, take a magazine clip full of bullets directly in the back without so much as a flinch and then greet me in a friendly manner, I'd probably faint too. ~ JumpinJack

              Hero worship is fine, but when you're coming down off your latest buzz, and likely fighting a killer hangover, the last thing you need to hear about are schools named after you and statues in your honor. ~ JumpinJack

                Star Trek agrees - eventually the metric system will win. ~ JumpinJack

                  No kidding Zephram Cochrane pioneered faster-than-light-speed space travel. That guy was so wasted, I'm pretty sure he was flying high and fast long before he got the Phoenix into orbit. ~ JumpinJack

                    Like you couldn't see that Lt. Hawk was the throw-in/destined for death guy. Might as well have just stuck him in a uniform with a target on his back... ~ JumpinJack

                        Touching things make them seem more real. I told that to an ex-girlfriend once. She didn't think I was very clever. ~ JumpinJack

                        Never call a Klingon a coward unless you're Jean-Luc Picard. The results could be hazardous to your health. ~ JumpinJack

                            Klingons may be compensating for something. Don't call their ships "little". ~ JumpinJack

                                How does the medical staff let the injured patient (who just happens to be from the past) bring up the rear of the evacuation? And how do they manage to lose said patient, letting her roam the ship? Yeah, Dr. Crusher, you're fired... ~ JumpinJack

                                  A maximum warp trip from the far side of the quadrant will only take about 10 minutes - plenty of time to show up for a one-sided battle that started while you were light years away... ~ JumpinJack

                                    JLP gets really torqued when you start a literary battle of wits with him, specifically when you compare him to a Melville character. ~ JumpinJack

                                        Sometimes, 24th century sensibilities need to take a back seat to plain, old-fashioned human decency and common sense. ~ JumpinJack

                                          Kirk had green ladies falling over him, Picard had cyborg queens trying to kill planets to win him back... tough call. tough call... ~ JumpinJack

                                                If a race of creatures whose entire reason for being is the assimilation of new technology gets a hold of time travel, the first thing they'll do is go back in time to retard a civilization's technological advancements. ~ kvn8907

                                                  Captain Picard still has a mental link to the Borg. That might have come in handy the handful of times after "Best of Both Worlds" that the crew encountered them. ~ ekedolphin

                                                    The writers apparently had so little respect for Deep Space Nine that not only did it not get a movie, but the Defiant appeared for two minutes here just to get its tail kicked. ~ ekedolphin

                                                      Data's a tricky, tricky man. He puts the future of humanity at risk by firing a torpedo in the general vicinity of Cochrane's ship, then puts Picard at risk by drawing out the confrontation, but does finally get around to killing the Queen. With friends like that... ~ MusicManD

It will be to Bajor." Well apparently that means he no longer cares about Earth since he put Worf in command of the Defiant when Sisko is one of Starfleet's best in battle (proven by the Invasion of Cardassia) and gave Worf the B-Team to defend Earth against the Borg, the biggest threat to the Federation. But who really would want to defend the Capital Planet of the Federation when you can sit in your office and watch the Wormhole, right? ~ JHawk1128
