@Fandyllic I posted it here because I thought people on this wiki might be amused by how Star Trek related the phrasing of the error message was.

No option for Moriarty? Also٫ I don't think the clown was technically a hologram.

@Scyphi I only meant to explain what would happen if against all odds a Goa'uld did manage to take a Borg as a host٫ not imply that it was likely to be possible for one to do so (in fact I specifically said I doubted it could).

At first I thought the answer was obviously that the Borg would win on all counts٫ then I thought about it some more and realized that the answer to the first question is actually a little more complicated than I had originally thought. The Collective controls the drones by connecting their minds. The Goa'uld don't do anything to their hosts' minds٫ just control their bodies٫ so they definitely couldn't disconnect a drone's mind from the Collective٫ but if one was successfully able to take a drone as a host it would probably be able to control the drone's body٫ even without disconnecting it. That said٫ I doubt a Goa'uld would be able to take a Borg drone as a host without being assimilated٫ so it probably doesn't matter.

It would've been great if it didn't have so many episodes with sad endings.

They'd better not be!

^ I just rewatched it. It matched my memory٫ not yours.

^ You're misremembering his eating habits. He always ate what he was served and didn't seem to care what it was or ever want anything specific٫ which I think is actually evidence that he's not neurodivergent as neurodivergent people strongly tend to be picky eaters.

@Scyphi I understand where you're coming from٫ but I can't agree. Most of the problems in my life have been caused by people not recognizing that my neurodivergencies actually make me different. Being treated like I'm just normal is absolute hell for me٫ because my needs and abilities are different. Being treated like I'm normal means not having my needs met٫ and being expected to live up to standards I never could just because most people can٫ while the things I can do better than most people are ignored. For people like me٫ acceptance requires accommodation٫ and accommodation requires understanding٫ which doesn't happen without visibility. Pointing out which characters that people know and love are similar to neurodivergent people can both help people to see neurodivergence in a positive way by showing it as a trait of these characters٫ and help people recognize when someone else in their life is neurodivergent. The importance of the first should be obvious٫ the latter is important because if someone doesn't know someone else is neurodivergent they can't adjust their expectations to be fair to them٫ or accommodate any special needs they may have٫ because they'll have no reason to believe they need to. I believe that people's differences should be seen as a positive rather than a negative٫ but they should still be seen. How can we celebrate infinite diversity in infinite combinations if we don't recognize and acknowledge that it's there?

@Scyphi The reason it matters is representation. You're right that most of these characters aren't actually neurodivergent٫ but the important thing is that neurodivergent people can see ourselves in them. I probably wouldn't be alive right now without that. Also٫ Spock is canonically dyslexic.

Seven of Nine

@Scyphi I think you must be thinking of a different VOY episode than the one you named٫ because Endgame pt 1 didn't really have much of a cliffhanger٫ certainly not one that implied that٫ nor was there really much of a "thereon" after it for Chakotay to be captain in.

T'lyn٫ but she's not on here.

Sounds interesting٫ but I don't even know what steam is in this context.

Trials and Tribble-ations٫ but Those Old Scientists is a close second!

@Hurga all I actually meant was that the vowel sound made by 'E in Klingon is definitely a long ey and not a short uh.

@Fandyllic I said the correct pronunciation is the one she uses. A previous user had already said what that was٫ so I didn't need to. Any failure to understand that is on you٫ not me.

^ Still doesn't change the correct way to pronounce it.

I pronounce it the way she does٫ which is also the way that is correct by Klingon phonetics. The fact that none of the other characters could be bothered to pronounce her name correctly (even though it's really not that hard) doesn't change how it should be pronounced.
