No she wasn't. She's never been good in anything.

Thinking about it more deeply, the Borg are simply not known for speed or strength. Their MO is basically durability, sheer numbers, and their near-impenetrable personal shielding. So her combat prowess doesn't really scream out Borg to me, unless she's just very minorly augmented by nanoprobes, with a bunch of other stuff going on as well.
I must say, on Summer Glau considering she was the hottest young genre actress coming out of firefly it's kind of crazy to think she's 37 now and only ever really did 2 seasons of that terminator show.
Fillion and to a lesser attention Monica Baccarin really were the only two from firefly who I see in a lot of stuff.

Her IMDB/Wikipedia suggests she's working. Maybe not as much as her early promise seemed to indicate she might, but I'm guessing she's making her living as an actress. Firefly has had such a long tail and I'm sure you could pay your mortgage just off of convention appearances. I think both her Firefly appearance and T:SCC probably led to her being typecast a a 'bit weird'. Having two such similar roles so early on may have damaged her career considerably. Just ask Mark Hamill.
Baccarin had a recurring role in the later seasons of Stargate SG-1. Her most high profile roles were as the love interest in both Deadpool movies as well as a voice part in The Flash. Given superhero film budget she may well be pulling in more in fees than Fillion at this point.
"Suggests she's working"? She's had two legit jobs in the past five years, one of which was a guest shot on "Castle" that her old friend Fillion obviously got for her.
Yeah, no. She had a series regular role on the first three seasons of "Homeland" which was a major commercial and critical success and was a series regular on "Gotham", another hit that just concluded its five season run.
Anyway this is getting off topic innit.
I think you folks are missing a trick in this trailer.
Picard says she is in serious danger. Not that she's a danger to the universe. It's just guy on the floor who says that. Who knows who he is?
Guy says she's 'the destroyer' but who knows what his agenda is now?
Here's my Monday morning theory:
The series 1 arc is going to be a parable about asylum/immigration. It is the hot button issue and an analogy for the European asylum crisis and the current issues at the US border would play well with their current demographic. Given Discovery wasn't particularly 'moralistic' I could well see the pendulum swinging back and ST:P going down the preachy route.
So speculation:
The Romulans found a disabled Borg cube and started to de-assimilate / interrogate the drones who were still alive and dissect the ones who were dead and their technology. The prison with the 5843 days sign is a 'holding centre' for former drones to ensure they pose no threat before being allowed their freedom. It's not really working that way though, due to paranoia about the Borg, prisoners are being abused, denied their rights, and effectively never allowed to leave.
When Hobus exploded the Federation was forced to take over the running of this facility. Picard viewed it as inhumane but Starfleet argued these policies should be continued. He was morally outraged, so quit.
The girl is an escapee that Picard can use as leverage to finally expose what's been happening. She's spent half her life in detention. She's in danger because the powers that be want her silenced. Picard will take the moral high ground, and end up pitted against the Federation and Starfleet itself in an effort to expose what's been going on.
Haha. Guess so!
Sadly, the "girl" in Picard initially strikes me as similar to River Tam, as I initially said, which worries me, as I thought that was easily the weakest element of "Firefly", in terms of acting AND writing.
Going OT, Adam Baldwin has had a solid career, four seasons of Chuck, plus he guest spots on things like Law and Order, and does voice work. Ron glass was already famous but then kind of tapered off as he aged. Alan Tudyk is in absolutely everything. He's probably the most successful out of all of them.
Fillion's always got work, Morena's had seasons of stuff. I think that the only one who really did nothing is Simon.

I was really just focusing on Glau, but yeah, Simon/Sean/whatever has completely dropped off the face.
dont know is this is old hat, but my guess is one of the folks from the captain picard day turbolift disasterOkay so... who is the girl played by Isa Briones? IMDB gives her the name Dahj. Let's speculate until early 2020 when we all find out and are disappointed.
Is she Lal resurrected, mind-wiped and wearing a new face? A young Borg Queen awaiting some Red Angel-style temporal silliness to make her the Queen? Spock's quarter-Vulcan daughter (hence the round ears)? An advanced Borg infiltration drone? Why does she feel safe around Picard?
He voices Nightwing is several DC animated movies. And I saw him guest star on 9-1-1 and The Rookie this past season.
