Do you think the Federation would have survived if the Borg made their first appearance in the TOS era?

That must be a membership/patreon thing cause there's not even close to that many episodes on their yt channel.
Nice. Great to see all those fellas getting together and enjoying the olden days. I was afraid all those podcasts would be a bit pathetic, bunch of washed up actors reliving their glory days, but it genuinely feels like they're all just having a good time.
I dunno if they archive their YouTube videos or something but their podcast feed has 298 episodes.That must be a membership/patreon thing cause there's not even close to that many episodes on their yt channel.
Yeah, given his (kinda surprising) success as producer and director I can see how he'd have some expertise there to share.There's a bit of glory days in it, but that's unsurprising as you've got a group of people in their 50s and above who have to talk about the things they were doing when they were young and at this peak of their success (except for Robert Duncan McNeil). The most interesting parts of the episodes are when they talk about the technical aspects of making an episode, which RDM is most knowledgeable about. Its also really great when he and Armin Shimmerman talk about the business part, budgets and licenses and so on.
Ciroc Lofton and Aaron Eisenberg and a co-host I don't remember have a podcast together. Last I hear Ciroc is still doing it with that other guy since Aaron passed away. (F)Huh, nice. Any DS9 fellas having a podcast? Someone give Andrew Robinson a microphone...
Yeah. The Federation only survived because when the invasion happened due to luck and that unbelievable good luck existed in every era.Do you think the Federation would have survived if the Borg made their first appearance in the TOS era?
I think Kirk could honestly handle anything, with heavy casualties of course. The Borg are not wholly dissimilar from those organisms in “Operation: Annihilate!” and they got out of that in pretty good order. Kirk is kind of a chameleon, adapting to any scenario he’s in flawlessly. See how easily he slips into the role of a mobster in “A Piece of the Action.” If Kirk met the Borg, he would’ve beaten them, but he would have done it through some sort of silly method like behaving intentionally illogically a la “I, Mudd,” or overexposing the Borg to the human condition like in “By Any Other Name.” After all, all it took the TNG crew was a sleep command to beat them. The TOS crew would’ve kidnapped back some redshirt that had faced assimilation previously and sent a kill command through the collective (like I said, with heavy casualties) and then they’d never have to deal with them again.Do you think the Federation would have survived if the Borg made their first appearance in the TOS era?
Every universe where the show's not about the Federation ends up like the crazy Riker universe in ParallelsYeah. The Federation only survived because when the invasion happened due to luck and that unbelievable good luck existed in every era.
Armin is basically who John Billingsley thinks he is. John blows a lot of smoke. Armin is extremely insightful and he has a memory like a steel trap.It's very good, especially when Armin is on.
I've been watching it for the comedy. The guy thinks that the Enterprise not obliterating a random space whale was sending a message to audiences to let foreigners invade your homeland. Everything is viewed under a conspiratorial lens of beingAnyone seen the Star Trek retrospective by American Krogan?
I know it would probably end up dumb in practice but a TOS-aesthetic Borg who haven't assimilated the HR Giger bar yet could be coolDo you think the Federation would have survived if the Borg made their first appearance in the TOS era?

Something like this?
Kirk was the jazz guitarist of Starfleet, it’s fun to imagine him trying to outmaneuver Borg.I know it would probably end up dumb in practice but a TOS-aesthetic Borg who haven't assimilated the HR Giger bar yet could be cool
Maybe firing all the woke Admirals was a bad idea.View attachment 8664291
Captain Jenkins was the most evil captain in all of Star Fleet. I heard she threatened her EMH frequently and executed nonessential personel

I think firing AT them was a much better idea
