Like I said: an orgins story for the Borg. This is something that has been avoided for a long time in order to keep the mystery. What if we finally get a full story on the Borg? What if the Borg are related to V'Ger (Star Trek: the Motion Picture)? That could create an amazing sense of connection to the whole series, and would be an really fun closing to the greatest sci-fi universe of all time.

That's why the producers did the Temporal Cold War...it changed the possible future of the Trek Universe. And that story line went over like a lead baloon.

Maybe it's time to have Q in a movie.....
