The Borg Queen on Star Trek: Picard didn’t seek revenge on one enemy

Warning: The post contains spoilers from the final episode of Star Trek: PIcard, “The Last Generation.” 

In last week’s episode, “Vox,” we heard the voice of Alice Kirge as she reprised her role as the powerful and scary Borg Queen who’d terrorized Starfleet for decades, but we didn’t see her. In the final episode, we got a close up look at Admiral Jean-Luc Picard’s greatest enemy, and she looked like she’d been put through the wringer and left out in the sun to dry for too long. Star Trek: Voyager fans know she had the future Admiral Kathryn Janeway to thank for that.

The Borg Queen was much more grotesque-looking this time after having gone head-to-head with Janeway and losing, and after that happened, one would expect that she would have wanted revenge against Janeway. But her focus remained on Picard’s Locutus as well as Jack Crusher’s ability to broadcast to all of the assimiliated crew and ships. She had an endgame so technically it’s understandable why she held her ground and didn’t stray from it. But Picard’s Locutus didn’t do anything near what Admiral Janeway did. So why wouldn’t she seek revenge against Janeway?

Star Trek: PIcard didn’t bring Admiral Janeway’s actions to the forefront.

Admiral Janeway stripped virtually everything from the Borg Queen who then had to resort to cannabilizing drones to stay alive, if that’s what you can call her. And just by looking at the Queen, you can see that she was barely holding on. Again, that was thanks to Janeway. So why wouldn’t there be some mention of her? Wouldn’t it have made sense to reach out to Janeway to see if there was anything she knew that could have possibly helped them?

I know it would have been difficult to know who was a Changeling so it probably wasn’t safe to reach out to Admiral Janeway, but I just feel there should have been some mention from the Borg Queen. Yes, she ultimately wanted to annihilate the world, and maybe I’m just seeing too much into this, but I wonder why she wouldn’t have wanted to start with Janeway who was the reason she looked like a hanging skeleton.

What do you think?
