Blog #17 Star Treck I Borg

In this star treck episode there was many things that caught my attention having to do with the Frankenstein Complex. To begin, Borg who was rescued from a crash site on his planet didnt really know who he was. I feel that the people on the star treck ship took him in because he was dying and were interested in his complexity. Even though borg was not like the others, they taught him the way of human and how to find yourself. In the beginning when borg was recovering it was a good time for him to understand himself and find friends. It seemed though it was a sort of experiment for the people on the ship to bring him back to health. It seemed crazy though that at the end the captian didnt think he was human or could have emotion even though he did. I think that it would have been selfish to kill his kind when they just helped him find who he was. It was good at the end that they gave him a choice oh his future and helped him understand what a choice is. It makes me sad that he got his memory eraced once he got back to his planet because what he went through made him understand a lot about his life and how he was living. It would have been nice to see him keep his memory and carry on the information to his species. I understand that there was a fear of Borg, that he may alter the peace with humans. He could always go crazy and cause harm to humans and thats a fear that we put into our brain when we see something other than our kind. I feel like Borg had just as much fear that the humans would do something to him than him turning on them. He even brought up that there was only one of him and many humans on that ship. He had the capability to understand his boundaries and his strength against the humans. I only got a chance to see half of this film, but the parts that i did made me understand how lucky we are to feel emotion and go through the things we do, because we could have that taken away sooner than we think.
