Star Trek: Picard

[Jimbo]

I certainly hope we don't have to deal with Another episode of John Luc's childhood, they could have used the last 3 episodes for much better story telling.

They still have to get back .... via the Borg technology.
I expect Jurati and 7 combine to get them back with a Borg Queen fighting them all the way.

That ship has sailed, so to speak… So they’re left to relying on an unreliable Q or some Watcher technology to return to the future after making sure Picard makes it to Europa so Earth doesn’t go bonkers later on.

And what's with the one Rene must die and one must live thing?

Good question ...

 

[long_time_DNC]

Well, at least they wrapped up the "in the Picard's head" stuff. I'd about had enough of that. Gotta agree with Rocky,

Spoiler

The new Borgificated Jurati ought to be a different and interesting kind of Borg Queen...but how come Seven turned out looking like the same Seven we're used to seeing, Borgbrow and all? The seemed rather coincidental to me...

That was part of the deal to save her life .... I'm kinda surprised no one transported her somewhere when the Borg Queen was after her, she was laying on the transporter pad.

Saw a YouTube video from someone who showed scenes of Jon Luc Picard's gray-haired Mother serving tea in a hallway on the Enterprise. Oops.

I thought that was a flashback, just part of Picard's childhood memories ... I remember the hallway, but don't recall it being anywhere in particular ...

I get it, that saving Seven was in exchange for the ship. No issue there, but why Seven ended up looking like the Seven we've always seen (except for the first few episodes of Voyager she was in, when she was 100% Borg) after Agnus/Queen got done saving her life...I had to ask myself, why?

It was surprising ... not sure why .
I presume it was the Borg Queens way of saying she was in control.
Just a thought.

This gave a little info on 7 being re assimilated.

Interesting read, but didn't really resolve my question. Best answer I can come up with is that since that's how Jurati remembers her looking in the first season, that's how she may have figured she should look, but we'll never really know the answer...

Just found this about a certain character ( and maybe a couple of others ) not returning for season 3.

Spoiler

Mainstays Jeri Ryan (Seven) and Michelle Hurd (Raffi) are also confirmed. Nothing if Santiago Cabrera(Rios), Evan Evagora (Elnor), or Isa Briones (Soji/Kore) will too. As you saw earlier, Pill confirmed that they were not involved with the third season.

Well, they are bringing back almost the entire TNG cast. I’m good with that.

I hope the Rios/Stargazer rumor come to be, but I guess not!

 

[rockymtnhigh]

I accidentally posted about SNW here..

BUT Picard has a surprise that made the entire season worth it.

Somebody's been traveling!

 

[rockymtnhigh]

The finale made up for some of the disappointments. It was quite satisfying, and after SNW, today was a hell of a day for Star Trek.

Yup, they really wrapped up most everything faster than Taco Bell wrapping a burrito supreme.

Of course if they cut the Picard childhood trauma to half an episode there would have been a lot more time. But it is what it is.

 

[SamCdbs]

Pretty pointless season. Not only did they fill hour upon hour with dead end side plots and simplistic childhood trauma psycho-babble, they seem to have just finished dragging what should have been a two-part episode into nine long hours and then quickly just put everybody in the places everyone knew they would end up.

And leaving plot holes a mile deep all over. And coming up with this new, defanged, version of the Borg, which is the best enemy in ST, as it was.

I'm curious if Agnes and the Borg queen combo made a difference in the stories up to now. I mean if she went back 400 years and started the Borg Assimilation to make it more friendly and the brain is Agnes brain, wouldn't that mean all the Borg story lines up to now would now be erased or changed so they never happened the way they were originally portrayed. Picard would of never been Locutes and assimilated back in the original Next Generation series and the Voyager Ending would be different now as well. Especially since Capt. Janeway and here older self Admiral Janeway teamed up to use the Borg transwarp conduit worm hole to get home from the Delta quandrant so much sooner. Wouldn't that Borg queen never have existed now? I guess they won't address the holes in all the shows that now would of been changed or never happened due to Agnes taking over the Borg Queen's job over 400 years earlier.
