Apology From The Borg Queen

[zodiacza1]

i like her more as lady jessica...

[BarryDennen12]

It was so gross when Jonathan Frakes was talking about her being 'sexy'. There was absolutely nothing sexy about the Borg Queen, she was covered in slime and had funny lips.

Great actress though.

[desideratum07]

After seeing her as the Borg Queen and as the crazy religious lady in Silent Hill, I really can't help but feel uneasy looking at her face.

[Ulrna]

When will she apologise for the millions of people she assimilated!?

[degsbabe]

I really hoped she was going to get 'jiggy' with Data when she had him at her mercy that time...

[backinthecrystal]

@degsbabe Who says she didn't?

[Antichrist2000]

Wow, never knew she was british.

[AduneStormwind]

@Antichrist2000 She's South African and has an accent very consistant with her origins.

[Antichrist2000]

@AduneStormwind Again, did not see that one coming.

[davidmanhart1]

regardless of whether the Borg should have a queen or not, this actress created the best Star Trek villians of all time (up there with Khan). thank you Alice Krige!

[ChicaWolverina]

She sound as crazy as Anne Rice.

[OroborusFMA]

So if the Borg Queen met the Alien Queen, what would they talk about? "I got a cube full of drones." "I gotta colony full of face-hugger eggs." Or - what? lol

[abilityoflove]

The Borg Queen is an excellent idea as it portrays a hive-mind type of society. The Queen represents the focus of the collective consciousness of all Borg in an impersonal way. She may have a body but her individuality is a paradox, which is why she makes Borg look even more alien and dangerous. The episodes in which she appeared were the most intense, but also very refreshing ones in STV. Alice Krige was just fantastic!

[volk551]

@abilityoflove The Borg are like ants

[abilityoflove]

@volk551 Indeed, that is exactly what ants would do if they had advanced technology. Luckily for us they don't ;)

[LivesForJihad]

Borg don't have laundry!

[4u57inc0v3110]

I'd love to see Alice Krige play the lead on a "Murder, She Wrote" reboot/sequel series.

[lgr21a5no]

If you want to watch good sci-fi watch Babylon 5. If you want to watch crap watch Star Trek.

Why?

1) PPGs have one setting - Kill

2) No Star Fleet weenie would ever say "I am death incarnate and the last living thing you will ever see. God sent me.

3) No Star Fleet weenie would ever say "I'd llike to nail your head to the table, light your body on fire... but as you say, it is an imperfect world.

4) Unlike Star Fleet loser captains Babylon 5 captains do not politely ask the other ship to firing

[4u57inc0v3110]

@lgr21a5no You know, Star Trek was good enough for Andreas Katsulas, and I don't need to tell you that Andreas Katsulas carried B5 on his back.

[ThisDreamIsReal]

@lgr21a5no I guess you never watch Deep Space 9 THen!!!!!

[NobumetsuJackson]

@lgr21a5no well wish it was on netflix

[96rottie]

The borg queen needs to do Laundry?? Get one of your drones to do it......know the feeling though...

[jesustonight]

borg queen was shite idea what the hell

were producers thinking other than lets destroy star trek as fast as possible

[MrBuch169169]

"I might as well be on a different planet."

Oh no you don't, Borg Queen! You stay the hell away from other planets!

You've done enough.

[bopeep2525]

In reply to ctchampagne:The Borg queen was a power hungry dictator and the first borg. She wasn't going to lose her own identity. I think to explain where the Borg came from having a queen makes perfect sense. Data's creator could have done the same thing; programming all his androids but not himself of course.

[harpiyon]

Alice Krige is awesome, I saw her in "Ghost Story", a well-made but disturbing horror movie from 1981, she was young & pretty but already had this special, mysterious aura.

great actress.

[biclopsbob]

awww shes so nice. borgs are such a lovely and friendly race. like the cuddly Daleks or the totaly not annoying Gungans.

[mickeypopa]

We are the Borg. Apologies are futile.

[RStewart001]

What I loved about the Borg Queen was it seemed one of the things I'd least expect to see, but after it settled in, I thought, "Yeah, I could see it being something so not logical, from a human perspective."

[AphexDash]

She could assimilate me any day.

[carzanian]

Like this if you think she looks better as a Borg!!

[horaciosi]

When i read the title, i though that she was apologizing for the shitty First Contact movie.

[FadeToBlack181]

@horaciosi Dafuq ? First Contact was the only good TNG movie, it's on par with Wrath of Khan.

[horaciosi]

@FadeToBlack181 Say what you want about that movie, i'm glad you like it, but it does suck

[FadeToBlack181]

@horaciosi Explain

[horaciosi]

@FadeToBlack181 All of these action scenes don't belong on TNG. It goes well with DS9, it goes well with Voyager and TOS, but TNG didn't needed or have any face-paced action scenes.

Also, Picard is not the kind of captain that would kill an entire race, not even the Borg. Kirk would, but not Picard, he's not an action hero.....he's no Bruce Willis, that's for sure.

Sorry for my shitty english

[MrSinister1979]

@horaciosi I wouldn't worry about your English - it's very good :) As for Picard not being the type to commit genocide, you're right - he usually wouldn't, but the whole point of Picard's plot in First Contact was to show that even the most rational and dignified man can succumb to thoughts of vengeance at times. After all, the guy was violated by the Borg, and that kind of trauma obviously caused him a great deal of pain (psychological or otherwise).

[MrSinister1979]

@FadeToBlack181 Yup. Generations was mediocre (killing Kirk by dropping a bridge on him? Bah. Stupid idea), and Insurrection and Nemesis were horribly bad, but First Contact was brilliant.

[FadeToBlack181]

@MrSinister1979 "Bridge on the Captain"

[TheBlindDyslexic]

Ok Alma Mobley aka Eva Galli or is it vise versa-was glad to see the gal from my favorite spooky movie became part of star trek

[rents1976]

You will be Inseminated. Resistance is Fertile.

[LoveSteroid]

@rents1976 LOL! XD

[MartianStories]

Uggggg sooooo hot! She could assimilate my ass any time! I'd even do her laundry.

[a87370ylgrc]

I thought She was going to apolagize for what happened to Data!

[kahetel13]

its wierd listening to soemone apologizing for playing a role that has nothing to apologize about...she must be re-assimiliated.....

[SGTBizarro]

Apologies are irrelevant. Laundry is irrelevant.

[gyqz]

Apologizing is futile ??

[Datasgirl4]

I dont like her cause she kissed brent! I CALLED DIBS BITCH!

[mad4you1000]

i'd like to assimilate with her.

[Protowhilst]

I thought she was going to apologize for the movie.

[goodwolf359]

@Protowhilst

meh that's being hard, I totally disagree

FC was one of the better Star Trek movies :/

[AbsolutelyNotAnthony]

You think in such three-dimensional terms.

[liamsp544]

You think in such small terms.

[impassable]

You think small

[ctchampagne]

I thought she was going to apologize for all the civilizations she's assimilated.

[brian21281]

@ctchampagne so did i lol, i thought for a sec people writing giving out lol



[DIANAROSS4EVER]

@ctchampagne me too lol

[csgrambauer]

@ctchampagne Same here lol.

[matiax101]

@ctchampagne me too!! jajaja

[WarzoneMerc]

@ctchampagne LOL

[XenousPrime]

@ctchampagne I really thought the same!

[thegamerman7]

She was prettier when they tried to make her ugly. O.-

[marilyn007manson1]

Nothing personal against Alice Krige or Susanna Thompson but I think the writers ruined the whole idea of the Borg by creating a queen. The thing that made the Borg so unique was the fact that there was no individual leader. Now they're just like every other bad guy.

[Huboons]

@marilyn007manson1 Agreed.

[inkmagnet]

@marilyn007manson1 It's that commonly used idea that you kill one and all the others die. That doesn't make any sense in a collective.

[AlhazredsGamingGoo]

@marilyn007manson1 The Borg queen isn't the leader of the collective, she's the entire collective expressing itself through a single construct. She says as much to Data when he asks her flat out "Do you control the Borg Collective?" and her answer is, "I *am* the collective." It's functionally no different then when the disembodied voice spoke to Picard when he was taken to the cube for assimilation, it just allows the collective to interact on a more personal level.

[marilyn007manson1]

@AlhazredsGamingGoo That's what did but the writers still portray her as a leader. There was one Voyager episode where we hear the collevtive say something like "We will set an intercept course." Then the Queen says "No." The collevtive shouldn't have suggested it if the queen didn't agree with it. I just thought the idea of the queen ruined the whole concept of the borg.

[BKL8008]

@marilyn007manson1 - maybe she changed her mind? Women do that...

[marilyn007manson1]

@BKL8008 lol good point.

[AlhazredsGamingGoo]

@marilyn007manson1 That's just Voyager's shitty writing at work. Berman and Braga were infamous during Voyager's run for their holy war against the very idea that a television show should have any continuity whatsover; it's why they fired Ron Moore and why Moore was so adamant that Battlestar Galactica not make the same mistakes. Best to take Voyager as broad strokes and ignore what doesn't make sense.

[marilyn007manson1]

@AlhazredsGamingGoo Wow, I never even knew Moore got fired. There are so many episodes I wish they'd make changes to so they'd be right.

[BruderSeth]

@marilyn007manson1 it did..

[MrSinister1979]

@marilyn007manson1 She's a focus for the Collective, not their leader in a conventional sense - Chancellor Gowron was a leader, but the Queen is every Borg's mind compressed into a single being. Her own personality is probably in there somewhere, but it's just one of billions of other drones.

[safarani]

@marilyn007manson1 Here here! The entire purpose of the Borg was to contrast the unity of individuals (Federation).

[goodwolf359]

@marilyn007manson1

Its just my opinion but when it was done in Dr Who its hardly like it ruins the concept, introducing leaders/controllers or whatever didn't make cybermen any less of a villain for being based purely on forced converts,being "zombies", being "utterly ruthless" and having no souls etc.

and they didn't have a leader when they first appeared in "The Tenth Planet" either .(or not that I can tell from memory).

hardly just like any other bad guy really anyway.

[Foxstab]

@marilyn007manson1 Yep. They've been changed from a true unity collective to a mere bee-hive swarm ala Zerg.

[Szadol]

They were too stupid to find out a smart way to defeat it other that "kill the leader" scenario

[PMeursault]

@marilyn007manson1 I didn't mind it so much, I figured it is just a new development of the Borg since their m.o. is constant evolution/adaptation

[whitemagic70]

@marilyn007manson1 I disagree with you - the Borg used the incarnation of a Borg Queen to decept the humans into thinking they had one.

[ginko27]

@marilyn007manson1 One of the FIRST things the Borg did was pick Picard to speak for them, so in a way they've always had a leader when they were given more than 15min air time. I got chills when I first watched the Locutus speech and seeing the babies being assimulated..The Borg where unique because of their cold, unfeeling, matter-of -fact way of going about things. When the Queen was introduced they gained emotions, passion, and life where as before they were un-ethical and pure logic driven

[Belikel]

@marilyn007manson1 they made her too emotional in the movie and some episodes. I loved her way more in "endgame", cunning and calculating yet in a strange way alluring. But I don't resent the idea of them having a queen.

[ZakCooper1985]

@marilyn007manson1

The Borg oringally didn't have a queen, but after using individuals such as locutus, they saw a need for something "individual" to communicate with others when needed. she doesn't control the collective like some believe, its not like if u shot her in the face the borg would end. she just a body that can speak as the borg.

en.memory-alphaDOTorg/wiki/Bor­g_history

^ some nice reading :)

[efetherman]

@marilyn007manson1 and if trhey are idiots enuf to blieve that you are a charcater, fradk them, and assimilate them.

[billkasperdotcom]

Laundry is irrelevant, fan mail will be assimilated.

[Stormgebieder]

For her respectable age, she has an amazing body, check Lonely Hearts.

[cdnerds]

Strange someone looks better as a borg.

[credalthefirst]

@cdnerds that's one of the shitty part of star trek voy, they made the borg look cute

[MrFantabuloso]

Live every day as though it were your last! ..obviously we don't do laundry on our last day.

[sealclubber2021]

I was hoping she was apologizing for first contact...

[Freddyphelp]

@sealclubber2021 Why? First Contact was pretty good, certainly much better than any Star Trek movie they made after that.

[bernisweltredsun]

she is a great actor,i like to see her very much and i would give a lot to show her my appreciation while drinking with her a cup of coffee. sry for my bad english.

[Monkofmagnesia]

The Borg Queen is a cutey!

[koodahquake]

Shit .. so the Borg Queen is British ? How is that going to work ? I cant go to England to Stalk her..

[cakestalker]

@koodahquake

why not? just take a cheap flight there.

[GetOverHere83]

@koodahquake

Actually Alice Krige is South African.

[HarPlayer]

she old I thought she was a little younger. A M**F Borg Queen

[uselessman73]

I was expecting an apology for assimilating everyone...

[LavenderDarwin]

She should hire someone to respond to her mail, like every politician does...

[lironess]

OMG Alice you are totally allowed to have a life too...any body bitches at you because you are busy living and working send them to me and I will happily set them straight...

[davenielsen78]

@lironess You're crazy enough, you'd probably kill for her too.

[lironess]

@davenielsen78 yeah you better start looking behind you LOL....better sleep with the light on too.

[TheMostDefinately]

HOTNESS IS IRRELIVANT

FANMAIL, IRRELIVANT

TITS OR GTFO

[lironess]

@TheMostDefinately You can see them anytime you want in the movie "ghost story"...

[KLX1410]

she looks so old i am disappointed as a borg queen she looks hotter

[lironess]

@KLX1410 Watch Ghost Story..she was at the height of her beauty and you get to see her naked :) Sad story though...

[obliviousfafnir01]

@KLX1410 I disagree. Aside from the mussed hair, I think she's fairly attractive.

[Ozolz]

Borg Queen does laundry?

[webboffin]

She should of got her borgs to do the work she couldn't do.

[ThirdRAILKink]

The Borg Queen was hot.

[Viper6454]

...Geez the drama and all pathetic.. people need to get a better healthier way of living

[1984Phalanx]

Fan mail is futile. Your letters are irrelevant, you will see the star trek movie.

[CaptainPositron]

apologize for what?

[UNLebanon]

She has trouble assimilating her laundry :(

[tracknights]

@UNLebanon

Her laundry was assimilated once, she doesn't want to do it again without a good washing!

[iammadness]

@UNLebanon Don't we all? :)

[maddmaxstar]

Fan mail is Futile?

[indigopocky]

people shouldn't expect responses from fanmail, just the thought of it being read should be enough, honestly

[Gizziiusa]

Borg Queen has to do laundry ?!, thats illogical.

[jedispy]

She's actually a rather lovely woman. it's weird seeing her without all the borg implants.

[matrix49A]

She looks so warm and kind without the borg shit all over her In costume she is phaser bait.

[CommadorDecker]

her eyes, just scream Borg queen. so awesome

[richie8811]

Borg Queen was from England??

[ODOMAN123]

@richie8811 no. from south africa.

[instantist]

She was class as borg queen she acted the charactor well!

[rmm2000]

Very hot woman...

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

not the real borg queen... sorry... Susanna Thompson is the real queen IMO :P

[Hypnosekatze]

@TheReasonWhyGuy

fail

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@Hypnosekatze Haha

Opinion vs opinion=Fail :P

If you're gonna imply some form of objective counter, then please supply it :P

However I must warn you, that a mere appeal to popularity will not work :P

[Hypnosekatze]

@TheReasonWhyGuy

You must Warn me ? and than ? What ? .....What (dr.Who )

You are silly ? i like Star trek. I have 3 Long times Aconts for Startreck online.And like the Actos Borg queen. Ich dachte es gibt nur eine Dastellerin ober ok ?

warn me tztztztz what do you think ? you are god? I Think not

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@Hypnosekatze Wow that was a pile of stupid.

I "warn you", which I assumed you would understand to mean "warning to the fact that" I wouldn't appreciate the value of popular opinion as though it's a fact.

You respond in a very reflexive manor, hearing a phrase and assuming a cliche mindless meaning.

[firefox335]

@TheReasonWhyGuy Gotta disagree. Alice was the original and best. But Susanna was an excellent choice and brought her own unique style to the roll.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@firefox335 "original and best"

Meh

[SuperGamias]

the assimilated dune lol

[itzjoeymac]

'You don't know ANYTHING!' lol

[itzjoeymac]

'You don't know ANYTHING!' lol

[MrHEC381991]

WHATS WROONG WITH YOUR FAAAAAACE!?

[nosajj12345]

Why have I stopped sending fan mail to Alice??

Because its futile!

[Kvokki]

She also played the badbitch in silent hill.

[Pysgod13]

She also played in Children of Dune....as Jessica

[LtEggSalad86]

She played in the Silent Hill movie as well.

[etheangel2220]

oh i always thought julia roberts was the borg queen

[PigTempler]

She can assimilate my Federation penis anytime!!!

[willieraye]

shes a mental case 

[kurtaDHS73]

What refreshing honesty.

What is a "fan", but someone who wants another piece of a celebrity?

[danwat1234]

Was Data good, in bed?

[FeiFongWong1]

i need a blow job, assimilate that...

[cjws2]

The Collectormania event in Glasgow of 2010 seen Alice Krige cancel an appearance within 24 h of the event, without explanation. Not really a good way of treating fans......

[ind0ctr1n3]

Laundry is irrelivant!

[worthingSarah]

@ind0ctr1n3 not if you don't want to smell!!

[enkopingsbo]

Its the script writers who should apology, not you :)

[SailingMoominmama]

I remember her as the graceful and lovely operetta star in Chariots of Fire. She's still both!

[lsl70]

For some reason I thought she was going to apologize as the Borg Queen and ask for forgiveness for the countless races she's assimilated.

[MickScarborough]

@lsl70 Assimilation only serves to improve the species, not destroy it. She has nothing to apologize for.

[Sassar]

The Borg Queen is busy. You want to be assimilated? Ask her in writing then wait in line!

[Iam18yearsolddddd]

oh please assimilate my cock, my queen :D

[nerfwarrior6349]

how did the camera crew get close to the queen before being assimilate?

[xJoeEDangerouslyx]

@nerfwarrior6349 Who says they weren't? That camera could have been an integrated terminal or something. Can't be too careful, you know.

[grimrabbi1]

She can assimilate me anytime as long as it's followed insemination!

[Roadracer987654321]

She Made Evil into being Cool, Mysterious and Funky....

[mnshrike]

... she has mostly escaped the paradigm of being permanently thought of as her sci-fi character... or in other words we must try harder to assimilate Ms. Krige into our treklective... glad she has a career after and outside of Trek, not having one scares good acting talent off.

[locutus9956]

Laundry is irrelevant.

[jakep1979]

do not open her reply mail!!! you will be assimilated!!!

[XxEllenMaccaxX]

PROOF! THE BORG DO LAUNDRY! XD

[routhoula]

what did she do to apologize??

[Rangief]

LAUNDRY IS FUTILE!!!

[CCTV9]

Why don't she just order her drones to reply to the mail?
