I've watched all the seasons of Deep Space Nine before, but I can't remember if there has been an episode where the borg came in.

I have seen all of the episodes, I can not say I have ever seen the borg on the tv show, but I did read about an encounter in one of the newer books, the ones that start up after the series.

I too have seen all the DS9's and never seen the Borg in any of them. I have not read any of the novels that take place after the series yet, but would like to. Are they any good?

Meh, I don't think they did.... But if they met GLADOS, well, let's just say even the borg don't deserve that fate lol

Nope, apart from the pilot 'Emissary' which featured Sisko's role in the battle of Wolf 359. no episode featured the Borg. In novels, the first original DS9 novel by Peter David briefly featured a shattered Borg cube which fell out of the wormhole. And the previously mentioned novel set after DS9 was the fourth 'Mission Gamma' book where the Defiant crew find the wreck of an assimilated Starfleet vessel in the Gamma Quadrant. Theres an interesting notion, the Borg vs the Dominion. Imagine a Jem H'adar drone....

I keep wondering why the Borg never seem to pick on the Klingons or the Romulans.

The Romulans did suffer Borg attacks early on in the Next Generation. The Romulans had apparantly been in hiding for about 50 years and those attacks brought them out of their isolation, confronting the Enterprise. I think, having seen all the Borg episodes and read recent novels, that given the fact that the Federation is a bigger entity than the Klingons and Romulans, and the Federation has inflicted so many defeats on the Collective it makes a more tempting target. After all, if the Federation was defeated by the Borg, both empires would be easy pickings with no Federation to come to their defense.

First, I always thought it was the Silicon Avatar that was hitting the Romulans, because it was also attacking Federation outposts at about that same time. It never occured to me it might have been the Borg. Good point.
Second, I'm no grand strategist, but in my experience playing Civilization II, it often works out better to absorb my weaker enemies first. It's not so much a question whether the Federation would help the Klingons or the Romulans (or the Gorn, the Cardassians, the Lyrans, etc.), but whether the Borg believed the Federation would bother with them. But your analysis also makes sense.

I believe the Silicon Avatar storyline came a little afterwards and was something separate to the Borg, but admittedly its a while since I've seen the older episodes of TNG. It was implied though that after Q flung the Enterprise into their first meeting with the Borg it was implied that the Borg were responsibe for many of the Romulan attacks. I do agree with your point of view too, maybe we both a valid point. I'd say that once a major power resists the Borg it makes them all the more determined to go after that entity. The war against Species 8472 for example. Plus the added tactical advantage of assimilating the Federation-Alpha Quadrant's biggest power-leaves other empires less likely to repel the Borg.
