I saw this old picture on google, I sure would have loved to been at that party. Two men largely responsible for giving us sci fi geeks an identity. :salute:

Very cool!

Just plain human beings that have done so much in changing the world and perhaps giving it one cool direction to go in.

It looks like Spielberg in the background too.

They are only standing on the shoulders of Arthur C. Clark, Isaac Asimov and others. They stood on the shoulders of H.G. Wells, who stood on the shoulders of Jules Verne.

You know, the geek in me can still see a flyby of the Enterprise with Vader's Star Destroyer in pursuit! Neat picture!

Makes you wonder if the Borg were created as sort of an homage to an all powerful force such as the Dark Side

The Borg came about due to the overwhelming failure of the Ferengi as the new villain in Star Trek. People found them laughable. This also led to the Romulans returning at the end of the first season of TNG. As for standing on the shoulders Vern, Wells and others. These men will always be remembered for what they did with Sci-Fi. (If you spell it Sy-Fy, you are not a true SCI-FI fan.)
