The Hansens had heard of the Borg (as had the Federation to a degree) before BOBW, in fact the Hansens even had a model of a cube ship before going on their mission.

Frankly this continuity ship has already sailed its just nobody noticed the error (or I missed something).
When did they start their research?

I believe the Hanson's were assimilated by the borg 18 years before the events of 'Raven' which is pre-TNG.

According to startrek.com they were assimilated about 8 years before TNG started.

"Generations" pissed all over Borg continunity, too. Or are we to believe that not one of Guinan's people mentioned the Borg to anyone in the Federation, or that nobody in the Federation asked who they were running from?

Well we knew that Guinan had been in the Federation for a while and not mentioned it so that doesn't really cause any extra problems.

OK i'm confused so Trek time lines are telling us that they Knew of the Borg before Q made the formal introduction but the federation did nothing untill they actually carved a hole in the E-D's saucer. Ok so either the Federation is the victim of bad writters or assholes in command of the whole shebang. :twisted:

But she might have just come in on her own and not mentioned it for fear of mucking around with the timeline or destiny or somesuch thing ("Yesterday's Enterprise" demonstrated just how much insight she has into fourth-dimentional affairs). But hundreds of alien refugees show up in the Federation and nobody asks about it? Or they do ask, and none of them answer?

Basically B&B already destroyed continuity on this issue this is just wave two of the destruction.

Obviously none of them answered for the same reasons Guinan didn't before we found out or they simply said an alien race attacked but they don't really know much about them.

That's pretty thin. One person not saying anything I can believe. Hundreds of them, that's doubtful. Are you saying the Federation wasn't curious? Didn't interrogate any of them? That they all had an identical lie prepared? Either Generations violates continunity or it badly strains credibility, and with it, suspension of disbelief.

Well they weren't numbering in the hundreds after the Nexus got its shot at them and we always knew Guinan wasn't the only one of her kind in Federation space - its a continuity error to a degree but it existed before Generations.

You know about betting the over/under? Never take the over when you're betting on B&B's IQ or artistic talent.

Who these people are is never trully discovered and eventually this entire event is forgotten. Then centuries later Q has fun with the Enterprise-D and now they face a Cube and get REAL information on the Borg.

This actually has good continuity to it. It directly ties itself with an alrady established fact from First Contact.
They did the same exact thing with that Ferengi epsiode. A handful of Ferengi show up, a mess ensues, but eventually everything is taken care of, and the event is forgotten...

It didnt work with the Ferengi, and it sure wont work with the Borg.

The show is only in its second season and they are already rehashing their own story ideas....

TNG and DS9 need to remain, but everything else goes. I just want to keep FC at the very least.
