Totes agree, SP ❤
Well, I'm giving them a bit more credit here than the STD relationship. That one really made no sense. At least here it's part of the plot.
The twins are trying to crack a synthetic that doesn't know it is one. One wants to go the literal route and the other wants to appeal to it to try to get info out. Not an awful idea if you know the synthetic has a full range of emotions...
So I don't think it's necessarily shoe horned in even if it's been pretty clunky in execution.
Sliding scene didn't even bother me that much. Two folk having a lark <shrug>

To be honest it's a bit too Cruel Intentions, those two.

There's not a woman alive who is going to be intrigued by this relationship.
Soji is clearly the Borg Queen, and this is yet another temporal paradox story where it's supposedly high-IQ that Picard (locutus) helps create the very thing that assimilated him and it neatly ties into an entrance by Q.
/could be very wrong, but i'm rather tired of temporal stories.
Oh and somehow it all relates to the Hobus hypernova in some way for extra High-IQ brownie points.

They make very good points.
They're getting thoroughly annoyed by it.
I do think they maybe onto something with the Romulans creating the Borg though, hence the Jad Vache or whatever they are called.

Well that would certainly bring the show around to be a bit more exciting.....I really like it

This is a good read

I've been after a borg origin story for ages, this could be bloody fantastic
Time travel is incredibly difficult to do well, but it's lazy and easy for writers to chuck it in there, break a load of internal consistency, and do pretty much whatever they like. It seems to be in fashion over at Kurtzman/Abrams Trek where it means you can reuse the same stories without having to worry about canon.

Nah not plausible. The borg originated in the delta quadrant. Lots of ST episodes deal with the borg origin. @Richdog said so in the Disco thread.

Well OK, lets take that as fact, it doesn't stop Soji being transported thousands of years into the past around Romulus to give rise to whatever calamity that befell them for the explanation of the Yad Vash, then gallivant across the galaxy through whatever means that might involve.
Nor does it stop Kurtzmann ripping the whole thing up, because it's 'his' story.
Anyway it could be something else entirely, maybe Soji is nothing and there's someone else that's the derpstroyer.

I know TNG first encountered them in the Delta quadrant, but I guess they could have come from anywhere. They do seem to be based there for some reason though.
I'd like a proper origin story, I mean right back to how the first one become linked with others. This might be it!
