That would be stupid, since I watched the Cybermen in Doctor Who before ST:TNG existed.I merely made the point that given the lifespan of Star Trek, the Borg were a relatively recent addition, being added in the 5th (or perhaps 6th) season out of the 28 existing seasons.As for the rest... Simpsons did it. With so many Doctor Who stories in existence, and so many Star Trek stories in existence, of course there are going to be some common elements, and several 'rip-offs', deliberate or otherwise. Frankly, I couldn't care less about the originality, I just want to be entertained (that Star Trek has utterly failed to do that since the end of DS9, apart from the occasional episode here and there, is another rant).</blockquote>
