I've always thought the Borg were extremely lame, for just that reason. All the Federation would have had to do was break into a couple of museums, grab hold of the blades and projectile weapons from the wars way back on Earth, and the Borg could have been eliminated in just a couple of episodes. Instead we get this huge contrived enemy that's extremely dangerous only because the writers are doing everything in their power to make it that way. Lame.
