Open Speculation about "Star Trek: Picard"

She's had another 20 years on top of that, so I'm thinking she's going to be pretty much completely human at this point. She definitely seemed a lot more human in first trailer when we see her talking to Picard.
As I stated in my previous post, I'm assuming that Seven and Hugh are Mother and son.

At first, Seven doesn't want to get involved with Picard and Dahj. She's older, tired of fighting and bloodshed, and is looking to (semi-)retire from The Game (hence the line, "I fight for those who have no one to fight for them").

Hugh, OTOH, is young, brash, and impulsive. He injects himself into the situation (and pays the ultimate price for it :( ). It's Hugh's death that finally forces Seven off the sidelines.
I really don't see them killing off Hugh, from the way they've been promoting Jonathan Del Arco, it seems like he's going to be a fairly significant part of the show. I guess it could be a fakeout, and the kill him off right away, but that seems unlikely.
Not sure if you're joking or not, but Seven and Hugh are probably the same age (roughly). We don't even know if Hugh is human (he probably isn't since they never mentioned it in "I, Borg").

Hugh would be around 50 years old at the time PIC is set.
According to Wikipedia Jonathan Del Arco is 53 and Jeri Ryan is 51, so there's a pretty good chance Hugh is older than Seven.

She'll never be COMPLETELY human. Every morning, when she emerges from her regeneration unit, she's reminded of the fact that she's Borg.

They can always kill him and bring him back from the dead. ;)

The age of the actor is not necessarily the age of the character (ESPECIALLY when we're talking about the Borg's funky physiology :borg: ).

How many twenty-year-olds are playing teenagers on TV?
 
I liken Annika/Seven to Bruce Wayne/Batman.

Annika is the mask. It's how she functions in the everyday world.

Seven of Nine is never far below the surface (and as we've seen in the NYCC trailer, she can come roaring out with a vengeance ;) ).

It's been 20 years, for all we know she might not even need to regenerate any more, and might just need to plug herself into a wall socket for 5 minutes or something. When we're talking about the kind of time gap we have here, I don't think you can really definitely say what is or is not happening, especially when you have as little information as we do right now about Seven and Hugh's role in the show.

But you can still use it as a pretty good place to guess a characters age. I never really got the impression Seven was supposed to have aged any differently than a normal human once she was out of the Collective. Seven's age also pretty much lined up with Jeri Ryan's when during Voyager, so I don't really see any reason to assume that's changed, especially since looking at her it's pretty clear the character has aged the same as the actress has by the time we see her in Picard.

A lot, but it's not as common to see someone in their 50s playing someone significantly younger, unless there's a specific story reason for it, and since that wasn't the case in Voyager, I doubt it will be here.

Or the scene could be from episode 12. It's a trailer for the entire season (which has been filmed), not the pilot.

Jonathan Del Arco is 53

Get of my ship. Hugh is a kid. People don't age.

:blubbing:

River Tam in Serenity? (I was watching it on the plane this morning)

In the 24th century, 50 is the new 30. Picard was something like 59 when he appeared in Farpoint.

But Jeri Ryan is in her 50s? Man I hate time.

There's only ten episodes in the season. ;)

*** Runs to Google "River Tam" :D ***

(Not a Serenity fan ... Sorry. :o )

That's nothing ... Linda Hamilton is 63 and currently crushing Sarah Connor in Terminator: Dark Fate. :techman:
 
I actually think Jeri Ryan looks fantastic. One thing is for sure, if she's is the only one from Voyager to get a significant role in this show... gonna be some sour grapes from within that group

If The Doctor is in Season 2, which looks like will happen, and if they can manage to work Janeway in somehow, I think they'll have everyone they should have.

I'm hoping Janeway is one of Picard's Admirals on the "inside". Someone who looks like she's with Starfleet but she's really helping Picard and especially Seven. Keeping it "in the family" and such.

I like the idea of everyone either being on the sidelines or going rogue. It gives Picard a TSFS vibe.
 
Yeah, so far the only people we've seen her interacting with are people who are most likely going to end up member of La Sirena's crew, so I can't see her disappearing.
I've got a new theory about the overall story for the first season at least.
After Hobus, the Romulans pretty much lose all of their power and most of them end up living as refugees other planets. Elnor (Evan Evagor's Romulan) and some others end up on Earth working for Picard, because he helped save them.
Another group of Romulans are desperate to recapture their old power, so they start experimenting with Borg and Soong-type androids. Perhaps they are trying to create some kind of Borg/Soong-type cyborg army, and Dahj (Isa Briones, the girl looking for Picard's help) is a test subject, perhaps they're first successful prototype.
Data comes into play because it turns out some of his programing was involved in the Romulan's experiment, and that programming combing with the Borg stuff makes Picard start to dream about him.
I noticed in the second trailer that the red outfits the androids are wearing is the same thing we see the people wearing in the scene with the sign about xxxx days since last assimilation, which is possibly on the Borg cube we see. So it looks like the androids are on the cube.
Seven, Hugh, and a bunch of other ex-Borg are going around trying to liberate other drones, and when they find out about the Romulans are up to they attack the cube they are on. This is where we see Seven shooting the two guns, and holding someone, possibly Hugh, in the new trailer. This is also where we see Hugh looking around the corner.
While there they stumble across Dahj and free her, after which she goes to Picard because her Borg bits are connecting them. Seven eventually tracks Dahj down to the Picard vineyard and that is where we see her talking to Jean-Luc in the first trailer. She eventually convinces him to protect Dahj. After finds out about the Romulan experiments, and that they involved Data's programming and the Borg, he decides to stop them.
He visits Dr. Jurati (Alison Pill) to check on Data's remains, which we see them doing in the first trailer, and she joins him on his mission once she finds out what's going on.
He then visits Starfleet Command, but when the admiral we see in the trailers refuses to help, he goes to the Rikers for help instead. Riker recommends Rio (Santiago Cabrera), the captain of La Sirena, and Musiker (Michelle Hurd), an ex-Starfleet special forces operative with experience dealing with the Borg and Romulans.
Picard, Dahj, Elnor, Musiker, Rio, and Jurati then all set out together on La Sirena to try to stop whatever the Romulans are up to.
Personally, I'm holding out hope that it will turn out the mastermind behind the whole Romulan/Borg/android plot will be Sela with a surprised appearance by Denise Crosby, but we've gotten no real evidence or rumors for that.

Kurtzman has been saying in the media that Picard isn't going to be this fast-paced, FX-laden epic a la TNG, DS9, First Contact, or Nemesis. Instead, it's slated to be something more "contemplative":

He's lined up an entire team of specialists to help him on this mission ... which runs counter to the show's stated premise of Picard being aided by this so-called "motley crew". :rolleyes:

From what I've gathered in the past, Picard is going to try to rig something together with kite string and chewing gum.

What do you do when what you want (or need) isn't available? How do you cope when you have to make do with what's available (even if it isn't QUITE what you want)?
 
TNG? The series that made it cool to retire to the conference room while surrounded by romulan warbirds, is a "fast-paced, FX-laden epic"?!

It's even funny to see DS9 showcased that way. I mean, yeah, there was the Dominion War, but on the whole DS9 was considered the slower and talkier of the two post-TNG shows, with VOY seen as the more "action" outing.
 
I really don't see how Data could have survived the destruction of the Scimitar. I mean, he was feet away from the explosion. It has to be B-4.
 
It’s Lore in the Drawer. Data is smithereens, but we see Brent playing him - dream, hologram, flashback, who knows.

Brent said B4 is in the drawer.

Data will probably only show up in dreams, or holographic representations. The disassembled android in the drawer is B4.
