VOY:DF Music / Maybe resurrecting an old idea...?

I'd have to watch it again (hurrah for VCR's) to really make a judgement,
but there was at least one instance where it _really_ caught my ear.
During one of the shots of the shuttle approaching the borgplex, there
were a couple low, twangy notes like someone plucking two of the lower
strings on a piano. Caught my ear mainly because the last time I can
remember hearing that theme used was in ST:TMP as the Enterprise is making
its entrance into V'ger. Visually similar shots (though the one in ST:TMP
was much more visually impressive (okay, and about half an hour longer)
than VOY:DF's borgplex entrance), good use of old themes.
Which brought another thought into my feeble little brain. In advance,
please forgive me if this has been hashed and re-hashed many times over in
the past, I just subscribed to these groups after watching VOY:DF.
Has anyone ever thought much of the possiblity that the planet that
transformed the Voyager probe into V'ger was the Borg home planet, before
they got to the point of striking out on their own and assimilating
everything that sneezed twice in their general direction? The general
purpose seems to be very similar - it's not that big a step from "learn
all that is learnable, collect all the possible knowlege in the universe,
then merge with the creator" to the Borg's assimilation of other species
and knowledge bases into their own. Additionally, it was hypothesized in
ST:TMP that the Voyager probe had fell through a black hole to this
'machine planet', been repaired/reprogrammed there, and sent away. Mix in
a little time distortion along with the black hole, and V'ger could have
been sent on its voyage back to Earth long before the Borg advanced to a
point where they could move out on their own, and still have time to fill
its databanks and make it back home. Just a thought...would be interested
to hear if others have explored this line of reasoning. Would love to see
it explored in a show at some point, but that may just be fanboy drooling
(grin).
Incidentally, what happened to all the knowledge that V'ger transmitted to
Earth?
And while I'm at it, I suppose I could throw in the Transformers
homeworld/Borg homeworld parallells, too...<grin>. Are there any?
Probably...I'm just blowing smoke out of my ass at this point, but if I
can think of it now, it's probably been beaten to death before now...

but this is contradictory with a TNG book by Peter David (title?) which went
into the history of the Doomsday machines. This book described the Doomsday
machines as having been built by a race in an attempt to destroy the Borg in a
last-ditch effort. Unfortunately, the Doomsday machine not only destroyed the
Borg, but also the race that created it thousands of years ago. V'ger was only
a couple hundred years old. Sorry I don't remember the title of the book, but
it was a great story. That huge beam of energy that the Doomsday machine fired
could totally destroy a Borg cube, and the one in the original series was just a
small prototype weapon...in the book, there were Doomsday machines much larger
and more powerful. Shoot, now thinking about it, I'm gonna have to dig up that
book and read it again! :)

Yes, I was surprised that V'ger was not mentioned when the Borg first 'came
into being'. Judging from the quick increase in race numbers (don't remember
what any alpha quadrant #s are, sorry), the Borg have been assimilating in
their current fashion for only a relatively short period of time, so I once
considered the possibility that V'ger & Decker were the founders of the
Borg race. It sure would make a great story. Also (prior to D-quadrant
invasion by V'ger) would have explained why the Borg were humanoid to some
extent.
N.B. When writing a script for the series(es), you are asked not to take
anything mentioned in any ST books as fact necessarily. This is to avoid
continuity errors - it is considered that only occurrences in the series are
set in stone. Of course, there are still many errors in the series alone,
but...

Gene Roddenberry was said to have mentioned a possible plausible
connection between the Borg and V'ger back when the first borg episode
"Q Who" was produced for TNG. As far as a script...I wrote a Voyager
spec script several years ago with the story of Voyager coming upon the
Borg Home planet and discoveing the V'ger connection. Ultimately it got
rejected...they don't want freelancers to write Borg Sequels... and now
it wouldn't work because of stories like First Contact.

Read the book "The Return" written by William Shatner. The book kicks but

her asking Data if her father had sent him to Earth to find her, though. I
think that that was supposed to represent a more happy-go-lucky time in Guinan's

Guinan mentions the Borg in Generations.. when they assimilated her race and what
was left of
her people escaped on ships. They were rescued by the Enterprise B.
I've always assumed her planet was in the Delta quadrant (Borg Space).

your assumption notwithstanding. The 19th century Guinan never says
anything to the effect that she knows anything about the Borg, what
we see onscreen is Guinan happily vacationing on Earth in the 19th
century, then 400 years later a desperate refugee in the 23rd century.
This suggests that the Borg assimilation of her homeworld took place
sometime between those 2 events.
Although I hate the idea that V'ger interacted in some way with the
Borg, mostly because I hate this tendency some people seem to have
to want to make *everything* in Trek history interconnect, there's
really nothing in canon that makes it impossible. Even if the Borg
*had* assimilated Guinan's world in the Delta Quadrant in the 19th
century, there's nothing in that that invalidates the possibility
that sometime in the late 20th/early 21st century the Voyager 6
probe might disappear into a black hole, emerge near the Borg home
world in the Delta Quadrant, get rebuilt by the Borg and start its
way home, returning to Earth space some 200+ yrs later in the 23rd
century...

how far away it was from Federation space, how long it would take
for the Borg to move on from there to the Federation, etc. It's
not useful information if you're trying to track the flow of Borg
assimilations.

I don't think that Guinan asking if her father had sent him (and it was Data,
not Picard) implies that her homeworld was still untouched by the Borg. I
really thought that two parter was going to answer a lot of questions about

I agree with that. Especially the way she talked to Picard about him having to

Let me see if I have this straight.......
Guinan is vactioning on Earth sometime between 1801 and 1900? When the heck did this
happen???
FWIW, the 21st Century also doesn't begin until January 1, 2001.

Where does Guinan say that stuff about her family. I seem to remember
somewhere in the back of mind hearing that the Borg destroyed her world and
"scattered her people throughout the galaxy" ... but I don't recall anything
about her family. What did she say about them? Is that part of Best of Both
Worlds or Q Who?

But Guinan's history is like Wilson's (from Home Improvement) face. If
we see it, we lose a little bit of the mystery. Remember the words of
Spock:
"Having is not so pleasing a thing as wanting: It is not logical but it

was *immensely* more powerful than the Borg have been shown to be.
According to Spock's observations when he passed through V'ger, it
had deconstructed and recorded *entire planets.* If the Borg had
had that kind of technology and power 70+ years before TNG, they
would have included it in their cubes...wouldn't they?

I have to agree. In the film "First Contact", if the Borg had had the
technology V'ger had then there would have been no need for a battle
because it could have just *recorded* them. Thus making them practically
invincable.

She was both, a cyborg. Thats why she died when her organic components were
destroyed. And she said that the borg were like humans before they moved beyond
the organic.

Remember...McCoy said they just may have witnessed a new form of life being
born...Which was both human and machine...Decker was human...Ilia was a

Quick question - - How many means of time travel have we seen?
1 - Guardian of Forever
2 - Iconians' portal (?)
3 - The ol' slingshot, normally computed by a Vulcan
4 - 29th century whatever gadget
5 - Q
6 - Possibly the Traveler - wasn't really clear
7 - the Nexus
8 - Oh yeah, that Borg whatsit in "First Contact"
9 - Whatever the hell happened in the slipstream
How many did I forget? At least two or three, I'm sure
It is at least possible that the V'ger/Decker/Ilia merger and
disappearance could have created enough energy/temporal
displacement/(insert technobabble here) to have squirted the first
Borg out a few millennia ago into the Delta quadrant.
