All the Borg had to do was send more than one cube star fleet was pretty much wiped out with just one,so the Borg were obviously not that concerned.

wasnt there a TOS episode where they started off in the past? with a voice over saying "using the breakaway speed trick around the sun...."
as if they just travel to the past all the time
To quote a character from our beloved TV past - "Exact-a-mundo...!"
Time travel was never a sensible science fiction device.
It is a story-telling device, and a crutch, at that...
Well if you'd like nearly all of them starting with TOS...
-The Naked Time
-Tomorrow is Yesterday
-City on the Edge of Forever (a good one)
-Assignment Earth
-All Our Yesterdays
-Yesteryear (TAS)
-Star Trek: IV
-We Will Always Have Paris (TNG)
-Time Squared
-Yesterday's Enterprise (one of the better ones)
-A Matter of Time
-Cause and Effect
-Time's Arrow
-Tapestry
-Firstborn (Worf's adult son travels from the future to the present)
-All Good Things (Another good one)
-Star Trek: Generations
-Past Tense (DS9)
-Visionary
-The Visitor
-Little Green Men
-Trials and Tribble-ations
-Time's Orphan
-Star Trek First Contact
-Parallax (Voyager)
-Time and Again
-Eye of the Needle
-Future's End
-Before and After
-Year of Hell (Timeline is deliberately altered- big "reset" of events at the end)
-Timeless
-Relativity
-Shattered
-Endgame
-Star Trek '09
(I'd include the episodes from Enterprise... but why bother? :lol)
No... Time Travel as a plot device hasn't been overdone at all in Trek.:lol

You're right, I don't. However, JMS did and he set down some rules, followed them, and 100 or so episodes later had five seasons of a TV show and he did time travel right. So it can be done, which you challenged couldn't be. So I already proved you wrong and can move on now.
Actually Bab-5 did not pan out like Uncle Joe wanted as they did not think they were going to get a 5th year.
He did manage to salvage it in the end but not the way he intended it to be.
-"The Borg sphere is emiting a "whocares"-ian radiation/partical beam!" and Picard says "TIME TRAVEL!"
..........ok so.... like.... if EVERYONE in the 24th Cen. knows that a "whocares"ian Radiation/Partical beam can cause time travel, why isnt it more prevalant? why isnt EVERYONE time traveling?
next, the borg on the sphere obviously chose the DATE they traveled back to ON PURPOSE...."To STOP First Contact!" says picard....
..........Ok, so....like.... if the Borg are these masters of Time travel.... why not travel back ......like..... THOUSANDS of years ago and just assimilate humanity when we are cave men? and NO dont say "because they wanted the earth to be MORE populated thus More people=more borg..." That theory doesnt work because just as soon as they arrived Riker starts quoting his high school history book talking about "600 MILLION Dead!" after the third world war.....
-Ok.... so then all of the drama and action of the movie itself takes place..... then at the end after the vulcans arrive, Picard says "I think its time we make a discrete exit". Then all of our heros beam back to the cleaned up Enterprise (damn they cleaned it up fast! who did that considering over half the crew was assimilated?), anyway..... so then Picard says "Data recreate the "whocares"ian radiation/partical beam like the Borg did at the begining of the movie so we can get back to the EXACT moment in time that we left!"..... Data says "No prob J.L.!" and POOF! The Enterprise is gone to, what we assume is exactly where they left off even though they never mention it again in any other movies?
The issue here is that reocurring problem in Sci Fi....That time travel always works the same! I mean there are SOOOO many things that they messed with and changed "in the past" that we are just to assume they didnt affect history? For instance: sure Zephram Cocrane piloted the firs t warp ship, but dont you think the history books also mentioned who his two co-pilots where? I mean Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon right? but who was the second? Will Riker?
My burning question is, if the Borg have assimilated thousands of races across the galaxy then why were the only Borg we ever saw...human??? I mean, where were the Gorn Borg or the Tholian Borg or the Horta Borg?

That was just that one group of Borg that Lore had isolated.Ah yes the Borg Queen, I loved Picards line 'yes I remember you, you were there the whole time' err no she wasn't lol, and they never did explain away the whole Descent 'issue' whereby the borg were all left as individuals and then brainwashed by Lore, where was the queen then?
