I was done with the Borg when they introduced a Queen.

Just like Zerg and Tyranids. I understand that narratively you need characters for stories, but coupling those completely alien swarm intelligences to discreet "Queens" commanding the swarm takes away this very alienness and transforms them from a terrifying force of nature you can never truly understand into yet another rulers personal army.

I try to take those characters as manifestations of the collective rather than a true individual.

Dark gods!... 96... 96... I've seen first contact on the big screen when it came out... I'm old as fuck.
