I'm not saying the Borg couldn't figure some way to affect them, but the Borg as we know it aren't exactly the most innotive race....true but they still could contain dna, and some sort of biochemistry that could be susceptible to the borg

Maybe the Virus was just used as a word to discribe something that infected someone. Words used in a generic way to show effect.
And I doubt the founders could be assimilated. The Borg wouldn't be able to adapt either. They would have to assimilate the tech off someone else.

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.

I really like Graham's theory.
One of the reasons I really like it is it reinforces my own theory that the Voth and Hirogen can kick the Borg's asses. Proof? They're still around. There were some other races near Borg space that were very old and had nice technology but I forget off the top of my head.

But the Hirogen still have a working array and a civiliazation several thousand years old. But you do bring up a good point. Their civilization clear isn't the height it once was.Granitehewer wrote:Hirogen drones are featured in several episodes
The Voth though, massively technologically advanced and right next door to the Borg.

oh sorry, my point, was simply that the borg seem to be ''catching up''

If the Borg ever got to the point were they took over our whole galaxy they are screwed. Nothing more for them to assimilate thus they would be stuck at the same level forever.

Well the Borg are already going to other planes/dimensions to assimilate life, eg fluidic spaceMonroe wrote:Wouldn't it be a wicked twist if they already were doing that? If they aren't from the Milky Way originally.

I wonder how they got there. The Borg dont tend to go places unless they follow someone or get drawn there. Maybe one of their assimilated species had gone there.

Perhaps one of the species they assimilated had technology that could detect fluidic space, and they found it by accident while using said technology. I thought it was mentioned that 8472 found any intrusion into their realm unacceptable, and I don't think they knew that 'normal' space existed until the Borg came through.
