Random thought: Part 29

So in Star Trek: The Next Generation, they showed first contact with the Borg and plainly stated that this was the first time humanity had encountered the Borg and that the Federation had never seen anything like that. It was simple and clear, therefore all following series felt the need to contradict in. In Generations, they had the Borg attack Guinea's homeworld and leave numerous survivors who presumably took a vow of silence for some reason. Then in Voyager, it was revealed that Seven of Nine was the child of the Hansens, a couple who traveled into deep space to sing MMMMbop look for the Borg, following "rumors."

Sidebar: What rumors did they not follow? Was there a species of ear-raping marsupials that was just too dangerous to look into? Did the rumors not mention the whole "living death" aspect? "Oh, they have pasty gray complexions and they're man-machine hybrids... what am I forgetting...? like to turn people into soulless abominations or something, I don't know..." And they brought their little girl along! Parents of the year, right there.

Then in Enterprise, it turned out that Borg survivors from First Contact attacked the NC-01 Enterprise. So that's countless contacts with the Borg, yet Picard is still all google-eyed when Q shows him the gray fucks way back in TNG.

Therefore, I propose the new Star Trek reset continue this tradition and feature a Borg drone just wandering around in command gold.

"Hey, Bob, did you get my coffee?"

"Yes, two sugars, just as you requested. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated."

"Ha ha ha, not with my workload! Take care, buddy."

"Keep on keeping on, your biological diversity will be assimilated to serve us."

Yet more random thoughts

Why are all urban fantasy heroes private investigators of some sort? Why not a wedding planner? Sounds easy, but imagine having to cater the wedding of a werewolf and a vampire. You just know trying to host a werewolf pack and a vampire coven in the same reception would be high-larious.

And the plots come up with themselves. Imagine an elf who wants to marry a Tam Lin-type character, or a gay vampire marriage. You think homophobia is bad now, imagine how it would be with vampires who were born when homosexuality was considered a satanic plot.

Plus, gay vampire marriage is fun to say. In fact, I think it'd make a good title.

Gay Vampire Marriage!
