It will hover right on top, keeping your wine safe and fresh, looking menacing and imposing as it decides whether or not to send Locutus as an emissary and warn you of their intentions.

Star Trek: TNG Borg Cube Monitor Mate

Posted in: Today's Chili

Star Trek fans, you know that one of the most deadly enemies that the Federation has ever faced were the Borg, and if their technological superiority does not win you over eventually, surely the monotonous monologue of “Resistance is futile” will wear out anyone hearing them after some time. Well, since the Borg are more feared than respected, you might want to send the same cold chill down your colleagues’ spines by placing this $12.99 Star Trek: TNG Borg Cube Monitor Mate at your workplace.

This is a mini Borg cube that was specially deisgned to sit on your monitor, where it serves as a reminder to the higher authorities on how much of a drone you are. It is rather comforting to know that this particular Borg cube does not hold millions of tiny nanoprobes, and neither will it come into life after office hours to assimilate you into the Borg Collective. The thing is, it would have been cooler if there was a motion sensor built in to spew out the words, “Resistance is futile” whenever someone drops by your place, but I guess we can’t ask too much for $12.99 now, can we?

Borg Yoda Tattoo: Futile, Resistance Is

Posted in: Today's Chili

Yes, the Borg is a hive mind entity. But even so, there must be some mastermind behind the hive mind. Who could have orchestrated the attack at Wolf 359? Who is powerful enough to lead the Borg? It can only be one being. Jedi Master Yoda.

Futile, Resistance is. This Star Wars/Star Trek tattoo mashup was inked by Tara Quinn from Texas. Strangely, Yoda doesn’t look all that happy about being part of the collective. They must have caught him by surprise and used his powers to coordinate the entire Borg collective and make them smarter.

Judge me by my tatt do you? I knew that the Borg must have had help.

Singleness is Futile with this Borg Cube Wedding Cake

Posted in: Today's Chili

If you absolutely have to join the collective of two and get married, you might as well go all out and have a wedding cake that features a starship battle over top of that fondant. Remind yourself that Wolf 359 is where the Borg battle took place, and don’t Wolf it down as fast as you can, 359.

This cake comes from Colorado based The Sugarplum Cake Shoppe. You have to admire the level of detail they put into this thing. It’s more a ongoing battle than a cake. And it even lights up.

Phew! Phew! Phew! Wait a minute. What the hell is a Ferengi ship doing on the side of that Borg cube? They wouldn’t last 2 seconds against the Borg. They’re probably using the battle as an excuse to steal some copper wire from the hive mind’s wiring system. The economy sucks for everyone.

You may now assimilate the bride!

Star Trek: The Next Generation Comic-Con trailer tries to make season one (and two) look exciting (video)

Star Trek The Next Generation ComicCon trailer tries to make seasons one and two look exciting video

Undecided about buying the first season (or two) of the remastered Star Trek: The Next Generation? We understand, but perhaps this pair of trailers will change your mind. The increase in quality is obvious to see, with the recomposed special effects and 7.1 DTS HD even offsetting the pain of re-watching episodes like Shades of Gray and Haven. The second set also includes a reunion talk, interesting just to see how much the stars of the show have changed in the intervening two-and-a-half-decades. You can watch both after the break, but if you decide to hold off until season three, we won’t tell anyone.
