Let Me Blow Your Mind
Indulge me in this moment of geekery.
You already know that the Wraith in Stargate Atlantis are Space Vampires. But did you realize that the Goa'uld are Space Mummies? They come back from the dead, live a long time, and command legions.
A bit of a stretch, I know. But here's where I blow your mind.
The Borg are Space Zombies.
They inject you with nanites, you become one of them. Slow, shambling, and bad news in big mobs.
I was watching an episode of ST:TNG called "Descent" in which Data is brought to Lore so that the sons of Soong can destroy the Federation. In this episode, Lore hacks Data so Data feels emotions. He feels anger, rage, when a Borg tries to kill him, and after he has slain the Borg with his inhuman strength, Data feels pleasure.
Lore is Frankenstein's monster, and Data is the noble version of the monster.
Minds blown?
