If this message is aimed at me then I find your remark equally insulting. No one calls me a "dick". I'm a very loyal Nova fan, as well as an Sci-fic fanatic. As is I happen to like all aspects of the genre and respect most viewpoints. I suggest that you retract your comment and visit this forum like any other good natured Nova fan with a open mind and note that all who use this thread have a right to voice an opinion whether you agree with it or not that is also the right of any respected individual. As it I don't like arguements but I do win a lot of them! As is. A fellow Nova fan did have an idea of doing a Nova/Aliens fan fic and whether the Aliens, Borg are hive-mind or not is neither here or there. Anyway. That's my bit. Have a nice night!! --Previous Message-- : I find your tone insulting, and also don't : think you bothered to read the thread. Were : you trying to sound like a dick, or am I : misunderstanding? : --Previous Message-- : So if lets say some kind Nova fan was to do : say a storyline where Nova encounters the : Aliens..now does that mean you wouldn't like : it because they're also a hive-mind? : : --Previous Message-- : You're right about the Borg Phalanx thing, I : was referring to the hive-mind concept in : Sci-fi. It's been around forever! Star Trek : TNG rarely had a new thought, SF wise, just : painted characters on established SF : themes/premises. : : Conquest appears to be doing that with such : blatancy, it is part of the tale. Homage, if : you will. Personally, I'm enjoying the hello : out of it! : --Previous Message-- : : --Previous Message-- : Just enjoy the story and stop your whining : folks! They are actually doing a pretty : interesting take on the whole hive-mind : thing, and it was around long before Star : Trek jumped onto it. : : : Didn't the Phalanx xome along long AFTER the : Borg? Plus, I've been wondering what : happened to the whole thing where they were : a creation on Earth of humans and Warlock's : techno-cirus mutating each other? Wasn't : that the whole point of the original : crossover they starred in, that they had to : keep the Phalanx from contacting anyone off : world and spread that way? If memory : serves, they succeeded at that. : : : And besides, the whole conquest is a take on : various archtypes--Wraith and the Man with : no name, Starlord and the Dirty Dozen, : etc.--let's see where they go with the whole : thing!!! : : : : : : : : :
