Yeah, I dont think they discussed that to anyone after that incident at all. It was a very weird episode. It’s like it disappeared from Trek lore.
So fun fact for anyone that doesn’t know, the original concept for the Borg was an insectoid race and this episode was supposed to be the initial lead in to a larger arc introducing them. Several factors, budget and the writers strike in 1988 chief among them, led to the original story being abandoned and eventually the Borg were reworked into what they are today.
So that’s why. They were supposed to the Borg race. Damn. Would have been an interesting way for the Borg to have evolved.
Wasn’t the queen destroyed at the end of the episode and all the others died because he queen died?
“He said they sought peaceful co-existence. That was good enough for me!”
Fucking mind flayers and their grand design!
