Tumblr post by arctic-hands:

When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll “Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?”. Naturally, since this was a Star Trek guild, the answer was overwhelmingly “Borg Cube”, but someone did have the rationality to point out we were biased.

So I look up a pretty prominent Star Wars guild and message one of their council and ask them to poll the same question and get back to me in a week. They do, and naturally the fuckin geeks said “Death Star”.

So then I look up a Stargate guild and messaged the lead council member, saying the same thing, and they get back to me almost immediately saying that the Death Star would immediately one-shot a Borg Cube but they would never be able to do it again to another Cube. And I took that wisdom back to my guild and we were mollified, and for one moment the Nerd World was peaceful.

An image depicting the story of the “Judgment of Solomon”, where Solomon is labelled “stargate fandom”, and the two women are labelled “star trek fandom” and “star wars fandom”. The Star Wars lady is standing grumpily with her hands on her hips, while the Star Trek woman gestures with open arms. Between the two of them, on the floor, is a baby in a wicker basket. Solomon sits over them in judgment.

    But each cube is it’s own collective, they wouldn’t share the knowledge of the weapons to another queen.

        Picard ( the show, not the captain) got canon wonky with multiple queens.

          But the queens were still controlling hives, there was just two hives. The Agnes hive, and the mutilated hive from Janeway’s virus.

            Agnes’s Borg are also technically from another timeline and are a wholly seperate Collective.

              I said it’s two hives. Where they are from is irrelevant. They were brought through the transdimensional rift at the start and end of season 2. Two queens. Two hives.

                Right, I’m just expanding on what you said.
