Interviews | Richard D James
Why are the Borg so successful?


The Borg are the most successful alien. Do you think people find the combination between engineering and biology so appealing?

Picture Well, they were a very successful and very popular enemy. Interesting things were explored with the Borg by the writers, like the humanity of Seven of Nine, and even with Hugh, which turned out to be a very interesting concept. Individuality. I think it spoke about the forms of government that keep people in the same costumes, the same mindset, the same kind of control where people lose their individuality.
