>This is not only ripped off from independence day, it's completely fucking stupid that the collective would explode because of a weird diagram.
The idea that Hugh's individuality would somehow fuck up the Borg to a similar degree was even stupider though. Taking individuals and wholly assimilating them is standard procedure for the collective, why should that process stop working just because they're re-assimilating a severed drone? That's retarded. The diagram could at least make a bit of sense on the micro level: one drone, or five, or whatever might get caught in a loop trying to analyze the diagram, but as soon as it became clear these drones were getting shut down by something the collective would just prune itself and isolate them from the rest of the Borg. Then it would analyze the message log of each drone to figure out what happened, fix the bug, and apply the patch to the rest of the collective as they adapt.
