    The new Borg queen in S2, the one that took residence in the mind of Jurati, is from an alternate universe/timeline. She came from the timeline where Seven was president of Earth.

    The old original Borg queen that we see in S3 was assumed dead from the virus that killed all the Borg. But in reality she had been in hiding.

        Yes, ut the Jurati Borg are apparently permanently engaged in guarding the wormhole to another realm where a giant elder god resides, or something. They’ve been relegated to the status of a cosmic bung cork.

        Well the original Borg are now presumably all dead now, since the queen was defeated and the cube destroyed at the end of S3. The Borg led by the new Queen/Jurati are no longer evil and they are doing their own thing.

    Because it was inconvenient, lol. That bugged me too. Barely even an acknowledgment of Jurati at all. I would have appreciated a line explaining why they couldn’t at least ask her for advice, if not outright backup.

    I almost didn’t finish the last couple of episodes, because it seemed too maddeningly stupid for these characters to have this sudden inexplicable amnesia about Agnes Jurati and her friendly Borg crew when facing another evil Borg queen. In the end, I’m glad I did finish, because it was otherwise enjoyable fan service, but it was such obvious “writers can’t be bothered”. sigh

    <cynical response/ > I think it’s because S3 pandered to the whiners who want nostalgia at the expense of everything else. Don’t get me wrong, I am absolutely there squeeing with the rest of the nostalgic fanbois, but I still think it was a chickenshit move to minimize everything that the neophobes hated.

    But thank u for the Jurati-Borg explainer, I wasn’t sure I followed that either.
