HL2+star trek connection?

[Endrom 0]

Being a observative sci-fi nerd, I like to think alot about what if moments. Then this morning it hit me, wow theres alot of connections in half life 2, and star trek.

 

Example 1: Q.... yes half life has a Q, but he's been going under the name of G-man. Think about it, teleportation, stopping time, capable of taking freeman to a place where he doesnt age until he's needed? sounds alot like a Q, which could answer why G-man doesnt speak good english. TNG's Q is a "humanity" expert, that's why he's chosen to deal with them. he's chosen to study us, and can speak like us. The G-man could be a Q that is using Freeman as a tool to win a bet or get something else, and didn't think to take the "time" to work on communication.

 

Example 2: Nonlinear Transuranic Crystal of Extremely Long Wavelength, IE: dilithium crystal. Both have simular porperties, and especially in Half-life 2. During one part of the game, inside Docter vance's lab, he shows you a crystal, rather large, and activates a laser the refracts beams off it. Isn't that the just like a dilithium crystal? "A beam of matter and antimatter interacting within dilithium generates a plasma that is used to power the warp drives that allow starships to travel faster than light.". Possibly the misuse of the crystal is what cuased problems in Half life 1?

 

Example 3: Borg and combine. There is a amazing resemblence between the combine and the borg. sure, the borg are alot more Direct, they would have assimulated all human life instead of keep them in cities. But the combine work under alot of the same ways. They TAke best parts of other species and add to their own, hence the Insectiod ships and the Machine+human hybrids. They all work of a major mainframe, and are autonumous in nature. Could the combine be a Rogue hive, possibly forming its own strengths to fight its greater hive?

 

I'm not saying that Half-life is connected to star trek, its more like wishful thinking. but theres alot of simularites.
