      I didn’t know we had a queen - I thought we were an anarcho-syndicalist collective?

    When they added the Borg “queen”, I was really bummed - because I had definitely thought of them as an autonomous collective.

          Yes, but it works best with the original BORG concept, before they introduced the queen.
          The BORG was originally described as a collective, and a collective doesn’t have rulers like a queen.
          So I must admit I was a bit disappointed in the introduction of a BORG queen.
          Still the BORG remain a very cool part of Star Trek.

      To show that hack writers didn’t get what made the borg cool and scary. They turned then into normal boring bad guys.

      You may have noticed there is more than one Borg queen. They take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major decisions.
