Star Trek is the most amazing show. <3<3Gene Roddenberry. How much fun he must have had creating all these characters writing about them experiencing them. Other than close encounter types of experiences it probably the next best thing.
The borg is a weapon one would like to possess as a separate entity. Intelligent HOW? They're a ruthless efficient OBEDIENT collective employing any means to fulfill a directive. Anyone can do that it isn't special or unique.They don't argue b/c their memory is erased. The borg are great servants of whoever rules them. Their intelligence was stolen from others & that translate to none at all. Borg..a collection of energies who don't have a life. Intelligent are those like Data, Q etc
The Borg certainly are intelligent. Taken individually, drones are merely servants of the whole, but the Collective mind is an intelligent, thinking entity. To make an analogy, a human mind is filled with mutliple thoughts at any one time, but these thoughts are presided over by a single consciousness. The same is roughly true of the Borg, and their intelligence lies in this one mind. This mind controls drones much like a brain controls a limb.
The borg collects the history of the species it doesn't support individuals but it is made up of individuals who have no value other than serving the whole. A human mind efficiently works on behalf of the individual and body it is attached to whereas if one component of The Borg can't follow its programming or malfunctions it is terminated. Downloading memory/stealing from what exists isn't intelligence. If it weren't made up of human vessels it would be an efficient machine.
A cell in a human body has no other value than serving the whole. That does not mean that the thing which it serves is not intelligent. And, just like a malfunctioning drone, the human body seeks to destroy malfunctioning cells. This does not undermine the presence of an intelligence. Furthermore, taking information from where it already exists is the primary way in which human beings learn - we acquire information from others, or "download" it into our minds through reading, the internet, etc.
Human body maintains its integrity unlike the 'components' of The Borg. Components lose their integrity they have no will of their own. If they weren't seperate entities& even if they volunarily assimilated that woud be one thng. A machine with human & other species as components which are subject to this madness one wouldn't call inteligent. Data is consumed The Borg doesn't improve or support individual thought. Its designer would be intelligent but that credit cannot go to The Borg.
None of your comments here rule out the idea of collective intelligence. Just because drones regain their individuality once they are separated from the collective does not mean that they weren't previously part of a sentient group consciousness. And simply because the Borg does not "improve individual thought" does not mean that the collective mind as an entity in its own right cannot learn; assimilation is only a "more efficient" way of acquiring information.
Great job putting this together man! Very nice.I think all Trekies have a fascination with the Borg, they are both awe inspiring and terrifying at the same time.
Oh I LOVE this vid-the song is great-sometimes i play it just to listen to the song! I think the song is very fitting and teh vid is very nicely done! I have a morbid fascination with the Borg, hehe....
i take it you mean you have an obcession with the borg too? Hehe-i find it a really interesting psychology to explore. I also have a crap load of medical problems that i believe teh nanoprobes would take care of in short order, which i think would be an acceptable reason to volunteer for assimilation, hehe!
Lullaby for the New World Order by Matthew Good Band
A lullaby for we who are 'doped' with fluoride in our water, toxins in our atmosphere and food, leaving us lethargic and dumbed down, half asleep.
Awake enough to be brainwashed to work hard. Asleep enough to carry on like drones of the Borg without questioning anything or holding an informed point of view.
Brainwashed to fit it whilst imagining we are individuals living in a free society.
Yes BorgVader we get it, but as one 38 year old to another tell me this. How hot are you and what are you wearing, if hot? Say something useful, to me anyway because this is my patch biyatch.
"Dishy" is actually what I call younger men, where it would be inappropriate to call them "hot." Hot presumes an intention that one might be prepared to follow through given the slightest provocation. If I wouldn't date someone that young therefore, (even though the point is moot because they are a famous actor) then the most I call them is dishy, really to deflect the "cougar" tag... now don't ask me to explain what a cougar is Anoleis. Ok then, it's a woman with no imagination!
I never see Heroes...I prefer real superheroes:Superman,X-Men,Justice League Unlimited,etc.I dont have interest in a tv-series about normal people with superpowers.
Look,all I saying is:Star Trek Voyager (and the borg!) deserves something better,greater,more epic than this STUPID Ladytron!Geez...why you guys are so...fanatic?This is only a vid!Wheres the freedom of thought?The freedom of expression?And...who's Sylar?!?
The extremely dishy Zachary Quinto plays the arch villian "Sylar" on the TV series Heroes. Sylar has the supernatural gift of being able to steal powers from other heroes by searing open their heads with telekinesis. It was a brave move to cast him against type in the role of Spock for the new Star Trek but not everyone appreciates the casting, particularly Leonard Nimoy fans. Now you know who he is you can hop on the bandwagon. You're quite free to think & express and I'm free to love Ladytron!
Are you blind,Sserpicuss?I say "I REALLY hate music of all kinds...with EXCEPTION of classics(Chopin,Beethoven,etc.) AND soundtracks of sci-fi movies and tv-series!"If I knew which the soundtrack of this..."music video" were this "Ladytron" I never,NEVER would assist this @#$%$@@!
For the love of Spock why are you watching this video Anoleis? Why don't you go trash the new Star Trek movie like ever other trekie and leave this video alone? You see you guys actually have many trailers specifically released about the new Trek movie to accomodate the gigantic online backlash! As a contrast to that drivel, THIS VIDEO is a permanent flipping fixture on the front page of my favourites! Go trash Sylar from Heroes doing Spock (he's not that bad really) and leave us alone! Geez!
To be honest,EdWrite,this vid is really good...the problem is mine...I REALLY hate music of all kinds...with exception of classics(Chopin,Beethoven,etc.)and sci-fi movies/series soundtracks!I mean...Star Trek deserves a soundtrack better than this..."Ladytron" thing!
beuatiful?!Awesome!?Are you blind??This idiot desecrated all Star Trek good episodes (and movies:P)showed in this..."music video"!Make me a favor,papermoo:next time,use the ORIGINAL soundtrack and no a stupid rock from an unknow band...
A 40-year-old calling somebody an "idiot" for producing a homage to the Borg - what a silly person you are. This is a brilliantly edited compilation, piecing together some classic scenes with an awesome soundtrack. It is not an episode of the show, nor is it trying to be, so it has no need to use the original soundtrack. Make ME a favour, Anoleis, and think twice before abusing somebody's well-crafted piece of work.
I'm sorry but I just have to add another protagonist to my comments on media moguls who destroy everything they touch. Australian television executives are in my line of sight, shows destroyed amongst them Star Trek by Channel 9 screening episodes out of sequence, warehousing it to late night and then ditching it when even the most ardent fans gave up in bemusement! This is favourite Youtube video of all time because in so many ways it hits the nail on the head about media execs everywhere.
Finally a 20C Fox movie they haven't taken off (about them implied)...resistance is fertile you know. Spell check deployed futile? Ignore - Engage! Great vid. Thanks papermoo.
LOL that shot of the borg pressing the button always makes me laugh, because the voice over tells him to do something really complicated and he just walks out and presses one button.
Also, I've never seen that shot of Voyager warping towards camera, what's that from?
I am so in love with this Video, you are so clever and i am thrilled to bits that you have dedicated it to me at the end, YOU are my hero now! Love you loads and see you at the next trek sesh!! Which is at my house, woo.
ok im a huge fan. the borg and dominion wars are my favorite. this is the best battle compilation on youtube BAR NONE. flawless merging and very clear too.
I absolutely must compliment you... this is officially the best Borg-themed music video I've ever seen, miles better than the one I put together. I absolutely adore what you did with the overlapping audio tracks, too; it adds a great sense of personality an up-closeness to the visuals. Resistance to this MV is truly futile!

Hi All, this is a music video I created about my love for Star Trek and the Borg. This is best viewed with headphones on and I realise it may take a while to download but it should be worth it...I hope you all like it.
