Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 1x05 - "Stardust City Rag"

[NCC-73515]

Looks like him to me.
Pretty much the same BORG outfit.
And it seems to be another flashback.

Since it happened almost twenty years before PICARD
I suppose it could be either a stand-in for Stewart or CGI.

We saw him in December

I remember that, but I still think it's supposed to be Picard as Locutus.

They probably didn't want to spend the small fortune it would take to make Sir Patrick Stewart look thirty-some-years younger.
And I'm almost positive that he did not want to go through that makeup again.

Then it's odd they kept Seven's, Icheb's, and Hugh's consistent, but changed Locutus so much.

Well this is quick and to the point on Memory Alpha.

Man, Doomcock is getting bad even for his analyses of modern Trek.

Planet Vergessen XD (German for forgotten)
The eye scene was amazing!
Mot got a whole hair emporium now!
Quark's bar... so it's no longer on DS9?
We see a diagram of Seven!
The conspiracy involves a "conclave of 8"...?

Apparently Quark is now a franchise bar! A sensible move for a Ferengi that should be added into the Rules of Acquisition

Now they need to bring back Morn as well....

A conclave of 8 synth androids. Reminds me of the Final Five Cylons .

I just looked at Manu's Twitter feed. He just posted a photo of Icheb from VOY.

That's it. No comment. Nothing but an image.

 

[Aragorn]

Voyager was the only Trek series I gave up on. I have vague knowledge of Icheb, but is this Manu actor a nut? Other people are saying he is.

 

[cooleddie74]

He has a strong streak of...being opinionated. Let's just put it that way.

Rios worked for Quark dealing with some breen too if no one picked up on that.

Anyone else notice Mr Mot's hair emporium?

Also nice retcon explanation for Picard VS Seven. Borg drones assimilated as children have more tech and it can't be removed compared adults. Explains Seven/Icheb/Mezoti VS Picard/Janeway/torres/Tuvok.

It seems two drones are grabbing Picard as he screams "Let go!", so I guess these drones are reactivated.

Welp. I enjoyed it. I hope Seven shows up later, but I feel that part of her character arc is done. I figured Agnes was a spy, but I didn't know how they would play it out.

Apparently Quark is now a franchise bar! A sensible move for a Ferengi that should be added into the Rules of Acquisition .

I bet Quark's is a shitty future Bennigan's style chain bar/restaurant.

 

[GulBahana]

That was a dark episode and a lot to take in. I may need some time before watching it again.

What did Agnes see in that mind meld? The Control attack?

 

[pst]

i’m glad patrick stewart got to enjoy himself this week, but i thought that was baaaad.

of course i enjoyed all the stuff that delved into seven of nine’s character and what she’s been up to, but the episode itself was just easy twists and cheap production design.

 

[MrPointy]

What did Agnes see in that mind meld? The Control attack?

There's a thought. What if the Zhat Vash know about the Control incident from the 23rd century somehow, and are trying to prevent it?

Patrick Stewart channeling his maître d character from L.A Story.

 

[cooleddie74]

I'm not going to mince words: this may be my favorite part of the whole episode.

A flashback of "I AM LOCUTUS OF BORG! RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!"

Agnes realizes Picard was an ex-synth, so now she has to kill him....

 

[picardjean-luc]

Patrick Stewart channeling his maître d character from L.A Story.

IMO he's channeling his inner desire to role-play Colonel Saul Tigh from new BSG, which apparently was a popular early 21st century sci-fi series in the Trek-verse .

 

[picardjean-luc]

Yeah it was shocking. we know he joined Starfleet but what about Naomi Wildman did she join as well and if so did they both serve aboard the Coleman?

Don't forget Paris and Torres' daughter, who's supposed to be a young Ensign by 2399 (albeit about 15 yrs younger than Icheb and Naomi).
