Which was more of a rape the dog moment?

The ending of Battlestar galactica, or the conversion of the Borg into a feudal monarchy?

Every time I see the Borg now, I can only think of the Borg discussing what's the proper fashion this season.
How does the presence of the Borg Queen turn the Borg into a "feudal monarchy"? Unless you also believe ants and bees are a "feudal monarchy".  :huh:

BSG all the way. First Contact was good.

They're not talking about First Contact, they're talking about later developments in Voyager.
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

What was so terrible about the end of BSG.  I only saw first few episodes (and I thought it sucked big time).  It was like Melrose Place vs the Space Robots.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

7 of 9 is the best addition to the star trek universe evar! :w00t: she singlehandedly (in a fashion :perv: ) makes up for all the away team and phaser stun bullshit that threatens to turn every ep into campy suckh.

I'm talking about First Contact.

Your problem is watching the newer version of old shows.

Stick with TOS and the old Galactica, warts and all.

TNG and TOS are two different beasts, so there's simply no contradiction between the two.

Old BSG and new BSG, as it turns out, are both complete dreck.

How did BSG end?
*spoiler*

Most died of horrible diseases after landing on earth, the surviving females were traded to the natives for food, and Hera was gang raped by a pack of semi intelligent non speaking apes, that eventually evolved in to us.

The thread title is "The Borg Queen v. The Battlestar Ending", so the events in First Contact should certainly be part of the discussion.

What some of us are trying to point out is that the "queen" in First Contact was somewhat of a misnomer, and should really be disentangled from the shitty "queen" that plagued later seasons of Voyager.
