Borg Love
Posted by Sunday on Jul 16, 2008 at 4:55 pm in TV, The FutureIf there is one thing that moving is good for, it’s the surfacing of long-forgotten sketchbooks.
Exhibit A, c. 2000:
For the non-nerdy, this is Manu Intiraymi, the actor who played Icheb the Borg Drone on Star Trek: Voyager. His is a sad story, but mitigated by my gigantic crush on him. Not Intiraymi, mind you, I had a crush on the Borg:
I think I sketched Intiraymi to hide my Borg-loving shame. I have no such shame now. Hot, ex-hive-mind action. Have to teach him to love again, but also he’d never get all moody on you. Bits of metal. I think it’s a healthy fantasy.
Riiight, you didn’t like Manu, just Borg Icheb.
Manu was totally chatting you up at that ST Convention and you know it. Besides, you know he’s still got that borg outfit laying around his house so who says you have to pick one?
(I’m kidding Hal)
The closest thing I got to flirtation that day was a fatherly pat on the arm and an autograph from BSG Series 1 Boomer… sigh. Why couldn’t Starbuck have been there? Whhyy?
