Why Guardians Are Dumb And Not Cool

[Quantis Trap]

Thinking of Thargs as attractive really bugs me. I fond of the Guardians because of their absence.

Plus, I think the Thargs are enslaving planting human brains into the Tharg ships we're killing!

The Thargoids were open to it but the Guardians were too evil.

I don't think so. Guardians were so ugly that Thargoids ran away from them as fast as possible.

But how could you not love this face?

Speaking of silly threads, has a discussion yet been posted on the subject of whether or not Guardians and Thargoids interbred, and if so, what were the parties like?

Let's get Relspi fixed up with her dreamboat first, that's a whole different can of worms.

MANTISES, not worms. There's a DIFFERENCE, gosh.

You know how Thargoids are still alive, and also really attractive? Guess what: the Guardians are NOT still alive. Which means they probably combat-logged. And that's bad.

Just saying, guardian-lovers.

I believe that I've read somewhere that the Guardians were not destroyed, killed off, etc etc etc. They are still alive and well but in a different realm, state of being, level of consciousness etc.

Basically, they were fed up with all the bugs (sic) so they logged off and are spending their time playing NMS instead.

How very Borg of them.

How very Borg of them.

Borg?!
I'll have you know there were Thargoids flying around in Elite while the Trek TNG writers were still an evil gleam in a parent's eyes.

Incorrect.

 

[Siobhan]

Incorrect.

Well maybe, but 10 years before TNG launched.

Elite dates back to 1977? This is news.

Tell you what, you're being pedantic. If you want to pretend the borg predate Thatgoids, I'll let you carry on. In fact, I'll add you to my ignore list. Bye.

The Borg were introduced on syndicated television on May 8, 1989, in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Q Who?" and Elite was released on 20 September 1984.

The difference is 4 years, 7 months, 18 days excluding the end date.

Their technology outmatched ours. Be afraid. Very afraid.

Going by all the blueprints unlocked so far, human technology seems better. I bet the Guardian FSD will not surpass the human version, when it becomes available. Well the Guardians have been dead for millions of years, if only we could get our hands on some Guardian AI construct tech.

If I was being a super pedant I'd say the Borg might predate Thargoids, but 1979 rather than 1977. In Star Trek The Motion Picture V'Ger comes from a machine planet, that in some stories floating at the time might have been the origin of the Borg.
