Borg Homeworld?

In William Shatner's novel The Return, he states that the machine planet seen in Star Trek I is in fact the Borg homeworld, but as it is a novel, it is not actual Star Trek canon. --KoopaTroopa211 00:00, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The article implies that Rodenberry intended that the machine world that repaired V'ger to be the Borg Hoeworld from the start. This is unlikely, since the movie came out in 1979, and the Borg were introduced in the second season of NG- around 1989. Poor phrasing in that section. CFLeon 21:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Similarities to Nomad

I'm surprised that this article and The Changeling (Star Trek) do not mention the enormous similarities between V'ger and Nomad, both of which are cannibalized space probes from an ancient earth space program and both of which seek "The Creator", and both regard non-mechanical forms of life as an "infestation." Basically this is a recycled plot from the old series that was used as the basis for the original motion picture.

Haven't any commentators picked up on this during the umpteen years since the first film was released? --Tony Sidaway 19:56, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I guess this dates you as having been born since the movie was released, since it was mentioned in just about EVERY review that came out at the time, and a major criticism of the movie by eveeryone who saw it. CFLeon 21:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That could well be true, but surely this controversy makes inclusion of the similarity more, rather than less important to the article? I too was surprised by its absence. Xarqi (talk) 11:02, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
