Re: SF Debris: In The Flesh
Ah, the episode that wasted 8472 as a threat permanently. What a pile of crap.

Re: SF Debris: In The Flesh
I gotta agree with that, Tsuki. More than the Borg, they should never have brought back 8472.
Re: SF Debris: In The Flesh
While I liked the episode it killed 8472. I felt they could have brought them back as a Borg 2.0.
Then again I am one of those people who would have liked to see the Voth come back.

Re: SF Debris: In The Flesh
Actually... I think the Voth could've come back without watering them down. So i agree with you, McAvoy.
I think with 8472 showing them more tore away their mystique and otherness.

Re: SF Debris: In The Flesh
I always thought 8472 could be brought back once or twice as a threat. No need to bring them back constantly like he Borg.
