we will never know the secret...mostly because it will break our minds
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 1x05 - "Stardust City Rag"
- Thread starter NCC-73515
- Start date
Well after 4 episodes that break insomnia, my hopes have been restored.
It's probably the same thing Q was going to whisper to Picard in AGT.
"You could save 15% or more on car insurance by switching to Geico."
Vending Machine Repairman 3rd-Class Harry Kim
They could imply it.
As long as his rank is lower than Rimmer’s.
Bad guys need to lose the LEDs on their weapons. Makes them too visible. Even the concealed ones. They might as well be holo-ads saying, "Hey! I'm gonna waste you. But not if you waste me first!"
Rimmer would be the Emergency Vending Machine Repair Hologram in the Star Trek universe.
The Romulans created the Borg. And Rios is a Hologram. And Oh is actually a Vulcan double agent working to genocide all Romulans. And Soji, the Destroyer, is the Borg Princess, conceived offscreen by Data and the Borg Queen in First Contact. And Worf is the mastermind behind all of this.
I liked the scene where Picard dropped his fake British accent and was allowed to speak with his true voice for a change. Refreshing.
Indeed, I enjoyed Seven going all Outlaw Josey Wales on the crime boss. Living by the feud is old school humanity. The Federation has always sucked at policing the borders so I am surprised something like the FR didn't become a thing a lot sooner under other names. Heck, a guy like Quark could make a fortune creating a private security contract service.
Speaking of the boss lady, you think she'd have one of those security transporters before the bartender would. I'm all for saving a good bartender but what the hell?
How have your hopes been restored? I tried watching this episode today at work but I'm having problems with my browser. So I'm just reading all the spoilers here. This is the first time I've ever willingly spoiled myself when it comes to new Trek. That's never happened before. I don't know what's happening to me but I just can't get excited about tv shows anymore.
Honestly? How could you allow someone you bonded with over freshly baked cookies to die? Is nothing sacred in the future?
At this point, Rios could suffer a horrible, gory death and people would still be insisting that he was really a hologram.
tbf, the ingridients of the cookies were replicated
I think they intended to mean that Maddox had carried on Soong's work.
I’d be very surprised after this episode if he was. It was an interesting theory but I don’t think so.
Hence why I suggested I was probably looking too much into the line.
Hey, does Rios ever check the logs on his holograms? I am curious how Jurati is going to explain that death. Why is the medical hologram so easily turned off in a medical emergency? You can never shut the things off when they are trying to kill you but they shut off like a light bulb when their function would be of critical importance? I've come to accept design flaws like that from Star Fleet vessels ever since TOS but a private ship that depends on a holographic crew should be better.
