It's the ONE THING WE HAVE IN EVERY SCI FI SERIES!
Babylon 5, Star Trek, Stargate. Every species has SOME advantage. Stronger, Smarter, Live Forever, Super Powers, Oldest Race Evar, etc...
But we have "OMGNEVARGIVEUP"ness which apparently NO OTHER RACE HAS!
Also hero units >.>;;
It doesn't matter if a race has been space faring for millions of years and has technology up the wazoo, 1 Data/Geordi/O'Brian/Scotty/Samantha Carter is all it takes to find a way to defeat said race despite NO OTHER RACES BEING ABLE TO DO IT IN MILLIONS OF YEARS.
=_=;;
But mostly it's the whole "if you attack Earth and do not conquer it IMMEDIATELY, you will never get a second chance" b/c humans not only adapt faster than the Borg, they NEVAR GIVE UP.
In all 3 universes (b5, stargate, star trek) humans are portrayed as the "youngest" race and the LAST of all the races to go into space. Yet by the end of all 3 series' we're the MOST ADVANCED SPECIES IN THE GALAXY. >.>;;
Maybe that's why no other races are in Starfleet? They must hate us >.
