Unpopular opinion: I didn’t like the whole borg queen story. The idea that they were a decentralized network assimilating others to extract useful things, was much more appealing to me.
Yeah, it kinda ruined the Borg for me. I get that having a faceless decentralised collective as an antagonist is a challenge to write, but giving them a face is the laziest possible way to get out of it.
My thought is the Borg Queen is less actually in control of the collective and more like the voice of the collective, similar to Locutus. She’s also the outlet for every drone’s horniness…
In Voyager, 7-of-9 had to keep going back to her drone recharge/nutrition unit until her digestive system reformed. Basically a whole bunch of Borg equipment replaced basic staying-alive organs.
So if they don’t ingest, I’d imagine they don’t shit.
I don’t recall anyone having to take one in Star Trek, my head canon is they remove it via transporters at night, like a quick swap when aleeping. As someone with intestinal issues that sounds wonderful.
I haven’t seen much of the newer series though and I assume they still urinate to lower energy costs. I may have pondered this a bit.
But they do have a queen. >_>

She IS every drone’s horniness.

Im with you, I still enjoy that movie though.
Oh, Queen eh? Very nice
How can you tell she’s a queen?
Hasn’t got any shit on her.
Do the Borg actually shit, tho? I’m only a casual Trekkie, but I don’t recall them addressing that issue…
(And just to be clear - yes, I know what MP line you’re referencing.)
We’ll assume the mechanical/nano bits work similar to a stillsuit.
Now I’m imagining a Borg standing in their alcove just enjoying a burger.
