Alice Krige, in my opinion, is an incredibly underrated actress. I have happened to catch her here and there in random movies, usually the sort that are made for TV or fly under the radar, and I'm always impressed. I know in the theater world she gets more credit.

She has the ability to be sexy. But sure as hell not as the Borg Queen.

I think Teaos just wants to get beaten up a little... not that there's anything wrong with that.

As a side note, I read in an interview with her regarding First Contact that the initial Borg Queen costume was so painful to wear she wound up flat on her back for a day nursing sores and bruises. I think when she actually was fighting back tears trying to wear it they finally looked into customizing it to be more comfortable.

Geez, could they not at least make it comfortable? I can understand having to wear tight clothes, but not to the point of injury.

Sentience: Would the hive mind on whole be sentient? I'd say so. Individual borg may not be, but since they technically feed off of the collective mind, in some ways, they must be.

I'd say the Collective would be sentient. The Queen, at least, was.

I would say "yes" because the Queen/hive mind is, and encountering a drone that is dissociated from that mind only happens in rare circumstances.

She was in the movie Michael Clayton with George Clooney, and she was excellent in that. She is an understated and underused actress, and she can be hot, too.

I think dressed as the Borg queen with the mechanical legs and cool meglomanic evil villan thing makes her very sexy.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Even though I certainly am not lacking in criticisms of the movie, in an entertainment sense I loved the TV movie "Atilla", in which Alice Krige played the role of Emperor Valentinian's mother.

Well, everyone to their own, I guess.
