OMG I LOVE THIS VID. Never before have Simon and Garfunkel made me feel SO CREEPED OUT. Picard! Data! Borg Queen of AWESOME! More later when I am not spazzing out over AMAZING.

Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed it...and that you were creeped out. I did sort of cheat with the First Contact bit, I'm afraid, but I really did want to give you some Data, for the win.

Resistance: Not always futile!

Oh, I love this look at Data and Picard as two men broken down by the Borg but who pull themselves back up in the end - all the echoes of Locutus here, beautiful - the silence that comes of suppressing individuality even amidst the buzz of a hive - all the shots of Data and Picard side by side, victims, victors, fighting the enemy and their own emotions - just awesome.

Thank you so much! That sort of mirroring of narratives was part of what I was going for, and I'm so glad it came through.

Interesting song choice on first hearing, but I think it's really fit to the theme. Awesome!

Thanks! Oddly, I picked it fairly randomly after deciding on the concept.
