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.
im going to buy you a “done with the borg since '96” tshirt
Dark gods!.. 96… 96… I’ve seen first contact on the big screen when it came out… I’m old as fuck.
I know I actually had to look it up twice to make sure I was correct and also not having another dimentia episode
