It appears from this ...I have just had a thought. <br /><br />It appears from this (I don't really watch Star Trek) that The Borg can adapt when killed. So they become immune from something when killed by it. However can they adapt to mental abilities. I have just been looking up some Akira Kurosawa films and it dawned on me that while The Borg would become immune to the Samurai Sword (which does not make sense on the basis that the Sword will be able to cut through their armour easily), could they become Immune to the Honour that Samurai fight with. Honour is more a mental status than an attack and on that basis The Borg would not be able to defend themselves against that. So in a straight up fight on a planet The Borg would lose to the might of The Seven Samurai (and any other Samurai from Kurosawa films and in someway this connects to both The Magnificent Seven and Star Wars as both of those were heavily influenced and inspired (particularly in the case of The Magnificent Seven which was a Western Remake of Seven Samurai) by the films of Akira Kurosawa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153210648441971830.post-90612605604394533352012-05-10T19:28:04.299+01:002012-05-10T19:28:04.299+01:00Yeah, and they need to stop their new Power Ranger...Yeah, and they need to stop their new Power Rangers look.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987723437304223350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153210648441971830.post-39582454798463877502012-05-10T17:43:01.892+01:002012-05-10T17:43:01.892+01:00The current Daleks need to go on Diet Pills.The current Daleks need to go on Diet Pills.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153210648441971830.post-42053461371084010152012-05-10T13:29:03.385+01:002012-05-10T13:29:03.385+01:00Some internet nerds/professional physicists did a...Some internet nerds/professional physicists did add war science to the equation, and there is simply no way the Empire could win. Even if you say transwarp and hperspeed were roughly much of a much, the Borg could still deploy far quicker. Once a start destroyer was assimilated, it would just become another Borg ship. So the Borg could replace ships way faster, and don't forget damaged Borg ships can self-repair. Trekkie weapons also have a MUCH longer range then Star Wars guns, so the Borg could just sit outside the Imps rage and shred them with torpedoes. And the force isn't magic, it's an energy field, so the Borg could just nullify it with a dampening field. They'd probably have assimilated ASBO Skywalker at this point as well, so they'd know all about the force. Lightsabres would also be ineffective, as it has been established in the films that a lightsabre can't cut through some forcefields. Therefore, as drones have forcefield shielding, one or two drones would chopped by Darth Asthma Attack, but then the rest would become immune.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987723437304223350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153210648441971830.post-22475326724643120732012-05-10T12:15:10.042+01:002012-05-10T12:15:10.042+01:00The Idea that Star Wars lose to the Borg is like s...The Idea that Star Wars lose to the Borg is like sayin g that the Nazi's won WW2. You need to add war science to the equation. While the Nazi's had the supeerior Tanks they were hard to build, took long to build and expensive to build while all other armies fighting them used cheap, easy and quick to build tanks that were easy to deploy and so because of sheer numbers the Nazi's lost. The Empire may have a disadvantage but they can deploy alot quicker. Also they have Darth Vader and I am sure that the borg could probbably not fight Magic. <br /><br />You have missed out several other armies. Why is Battlestar Galactica not in it. Against the Borg they could just drive the giant battleships into the borg ships and the borg could no way learn how to stop that, against the Galactic Eempire would be a good fight. <br /><br />There is also the Xiliens from Godzilla Final Wars where they take control of all the world's monsters (except Godzilla). <br /><br />Also you have the original Mondas Cybermen (look up Silver Nemesis)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153210648441971830.post-64143468210899644852012-05-09T21:41:17.819+01:002012-05-09T21:41:17.819+01:00I agree with you; it would end up with the Arpathi...I agree with you; it would end up with the Arpathians and the Borg blowing bits out of one another. I think the only endgame would be if the Borg adapted to the Revival Matrix.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987723437304223350noreply@blogger.com
