Time Travel Is Sexy

Star Trek loves going back and forth through time.  What time travel themed movie do you love?  Take my TTT - Twitter Time Travel Poll.

Power Couple - Khan and Borg Queen

Khan led his band of genetically enhanced humans in his thirst for power and conquest.  The Borg Queen led her tech enhanced collective for conquest and perfection.  What a power couple they'd make! 

But with gigantic egos like that, could this Trek power couple ever last?

Halloween Borg Bash

If there's one alien race who captures the spirit of Halloween most perfectly, it's The Borg.  Their leader, The Borg Queen, remains the most weirdly sexually attractive one of them all.

Played by Alice Krige (Stephen King's Sleepwalkers) The Borg Queen puts the Boo in the holiday.

The Lure Of The Borg

We are The Borg.  Resistance is futile.  Indeed.  This cybernetic race won't stop until the galaxy - and beyond - is a loyal part of their ever expanding collective.

Aside from dealing in and committing the standard acts of violence or intimidation, the Borg are unique in their method of the conquer of other races.  They don't just invade and destroy the enemy (indeed, an enemy is a tech source to be acquired), but tempt and seduce others to join their cyborg existence. While it's true the assimilation process into making an individual into an obedient drone isn't clearly understood, there is more than a sense that seduction is somehow involved.  

In Star Trek: First Contact, the Borg Queen tells Captain Picard, "You can't begin to imagine the life you denied yourself."  This is no violent threat, nor promise of a holocaust kind of retribution.  It's clearly an admission from the Borg leader herself that Jean-Luc Picard would have experienced an existence far removed from his known human perceptions.  Would that referenced experience have included an elevated kind of sexuality as is promised and then even shown to Data during the Queen's interrogation of him?  Only Locutus knows...

Borg Queen (Alice Krige) VS Borg Queen (Susanna Thompson)

They Are The One Who Is Many - They Are The Borg.  The Borg Queen was originally fleshed out by Alice Krige in the film, Star Trek: First Contact (directed by Jonathan Frakes), then played by Susanna Thompson on Star Trek: Voyager.  In a real world monarchy, there may not be enough room for two ruling Queens, but in the Trek universe, we have two Borg Queens who sit on the throne at various times.

Both actresses embodied the enigma which is hallmark of the creepy cybernetic marauders.  The Borg are rampaging technology thieves who will stop at nothing to acquire more gadgets.  Their queen is the most valuable gadget of them all - she is the one who brings order to chaos.

Rotten Tomatoes & The Star Trek Feature Films

Rotten Tomatoes rates the movies and Star Trek boasts many a theatrical entry.  With 12 feature films under its franchise belt, the somewhat obscure NBC TV show created by Gene Roddenberry and produced by Lucille Ball's Desilu back in 1966 is still flourishing today.  From the high of 2009's Star Trek from director J.J. Abrams, to the low rated Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, directed by William Shatner, the treks of Trek get rated.

Star Trek Sexy Spotlight - Seven of Nine - Jeri Ryan

Seven of Nine is Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01.  Well, at least she used to be.  When Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and her Voyager starship crew encountered the Borg in the Delta Quadrant, 7of9 was employed as a kind of go between to the Starfleet crew to help defeat Species 8472.  Actress Jeri Ryan (Boston Public) then joined the UPN TV show as a regular cast member.

Seven joined the starship on its journey to the Alpha Quadrant - using her enhanced capabilities and wide reaching knowledge she shared while part of the vast Borg collective. Before being just a number, Seven was a little human girl named Annika Hansen.  Her parents, intrepid scientists and explorers, brought her along on a study mission of the rampaging cybernetic race.  This led to her assimilation as a Borg drone.

Though her guarded and outright standoffish behavior made her alienate some, she eventually became an indispensable member of the Voyager crew, and made friends with many, including; Neelix, Naomi Wildman, Doc (Robert Picardo) and even engaged in romantic relations with first officer Chakotay - Robert Beltran.  Seven and Janeway clashed often, but in the end, the conflicts usually led to practical solutions to the struggles the crew faced while warping home to Earth.

Star Trek Sexy Spotlight - The Borg Queen (Voyager) - Susanna Thompson

The Borg Queen (Alice Krige) ruled over her drones in Star Trek: First Contact, the 2nd feature film to showcase the Next Generation cast, including:  Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, Marina Sirtis, Levar Burton, Michael Dorn and Gates McFadden.  However, for the UPN TV show, Star Trek: Voyager, actress Susanna Thompson filled the considerably powerful latex suit vacated by Krige.

Before her stint as the Borg monarch, Thompson portrayed two characters on Star Trek: The Next Generation, and can also be seen in the Deep Space Nine episode, Rejoined - opposite Terry Farrell who played Dax, the Trill.  Thompson has had a wide ranging, high profile career in TV and has appeared on shows such as The X-Files, CSI and NYPD Blue.

Star Trek Villains - The Bad Guys & Gals

Star Trek loves to showcase the bad guys and gals.  From Khan (Ricardo Montalban) to Kang (Michael Ansara) and Sybok (Laurence Luckinbill) to the Borg Queen (Alice Krige), the universe that producer Gene Roddenberry created way back in 1966 loves to give us a few black hat wearing villains to mightily mix things up.  Set phasers on evil grin!

Star Trek Sexy Quotes

There are so many Star Trek sexy quotes.  From the original series or TOS to TNG, or The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine (DS9) and Voyager (VOY), the dialogue is laden with great sexually charged moments.  Starfleet starship captains like Kirk, Picard, Sisko and Janeway certainly have their moments when sexuality factored into their search for new lifeforms and the exploration of the galaxy.

More often than not, the sexy quotes came from aliens - of all kinds and descriptions.  One thing is for sure - sexy Star Trek quotes are some of the more memorable parts of Gene Roddenberry's universe.

Alice Krige - The Borg Queen - Sexiest Borg Mom of Star Trek

I am the beginning... the end... the one who is many.  I am the Borg.  Alice Krige is The Borg Queen of Star Trek.

South African actress Alice Krige fleshed out the seductive temptress The Borg Queen in the feature film Star Trek: First Contact, directed by Jonathan Frakes - Will Riker himself.  She time warped back to the past to wreck havoc on Earth, tried to stop Zephram Cochrane's historic first warp drive launch and almost assimilated the crew of Captain Picard's (Locutus) Enterprise into her Borg brood.

She very nearly succeeded in tempting Data with the pleasures of the flesh - if only for a scant few microseconds.
