I'm probably wrong but didn't robocop use the phrase in any of the robocop movies?

[edit] Another category perhaps
Consider category: "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" ? 60.231.90.122 06:49, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree. Something needs to be said of "Resistance is Useless," used by HHGG's Vogon race. (see also vogon)--160.36.118.62 06:13, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- Does that phrase (either with "useless" or "futile") come from real life? Did British policemen say it or something? --69.255.17.40 10:46, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- I also agree that a brief reference to the HHGG usage would be helpful, if only because many people misremember the Vogons as shouting 'Resistance is futile!'. As a 53 year old Brit I have no recollection of either phrase being used by the police, or indeed by anybody else outside fiction. --80.176.142.11 (talk) 12:27, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

- "Any resistance is perfectly futile" was part of the German declaration of war on the Netherlands. --Lesouris 21:23, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I've updated the first para with blurb about its origins in Doctor Who (as you may know many of the writers of STNG were fans of said program). I hope it is not too long but rest assured, what I have entered is totally accurate. Should a new category entitled "Origins" be added? P.S. Its origins in Who predate HHGG by about a decade, so I don't see any point in mentioning HHGG in the article. --Andrew Byatt 16:00, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

- Is there any significance to the use of the phrase before its use by the Borg? Can any link be provided between the use of the phrase before the Borg and the Borg themselves? Do any media references come before the Borg used it? Alastairward (talk) 23:41, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Seven of Nine
Not a single reference to Seven using it? 74.229.215.99 08:38, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] added Space: 1999 reference
My first wiki edit. Hope I didn't step on any toes ;) Added Maya's "Resistance...is futile" line from the "Dorcons" episode.

[edit] Pronunciation?
Do we need a guide on how to pronounce "Resistance is futile"? 67.86.126.40 04:15, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Much older than attributed here
Title says all. No time to research now.
[edit] Other
It is also a line in a Police song.
