    yeah. I remembered that detail a second after hitting post

    Though I’d have to say it’s a pretty silly plot point. The idea that borg nanites can somehow install extremely complicated implants and control people but can’t deal with a little fake-booze is amusing

      Janeway: Tuvok, B’Elanna, go down to engineering and convert all the photon torpedoes into giant hyposprays, replicate as much vodka as you can, and fill 'em up. We’re about to show the Borg what a Tuesday night was like when I was at the Academy.

        I mean, it’s star trek. The level of “science” in the science fiction is on par with star wars, and star wars wasn’t even trying.

        But like. The borg could have been really easy to deal with if you just got them all drunk. But trying to drink a borg under the table is how Picard winds up getting the Queen knocked up.

        (alright I think I have the next lower decks episode…)
