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

[Nerys Myk]

I hope so, the weekend's almost over

Also three is your lucky number.

Not to mention stupid. Why she couldn't scan him to see where the technology was!!!

Unless the borg elements are somewhat "cloaked" in the body that kind of "exploratory surgery" is just imbecilic!!!

Do you realize that exploratory surgery is practically obsolete NOW!!!

She assumed that Icheb had what she wanted.
It never occurred to her that it might not be there cause she's never seen a Borg without one.

"Please state da nature o' da debt collection emergency."


If we were still talking about the episode at this point, that would be a bad thing. Because normally by now the thread would be consumed by a shitshow of circular arguments. Didn't seem to be an issue this week.

You do realise you just jinxed it.

 

[Gonzo]

Sorry, we're really off our game this week.

It actually makes a nice change not having to watch half the forum argue themselves in circles until they get dizzy and fall over.

Ah I don't go in there very often.

I mostly just stick to the weekly chapter and starship design threads.

I don't really care if someone is wearing a uniform that is not on trend for the year in question, the colour of the chair upholstery doesn't do it for me either.

But what about the carpets? Shag, indoor/outdoor, oriental?

Shag, like most 70's fashion, is a crime against humanity.

I just watched this a second time. I liked it even better on second viewing. Picked up on certain things I missed before. I looked out for the Quark's Sign and it didn't stick to my memory the first time that the Neutral Zone collapsed (no surprise, though).

I think people who like Firefly but don't like Picard are talking out of both sides of their mouth. "It's not Star Trek!" I've heard that before. I heard it in 1993. About a certain other series. You know the one.

The scene between Raffi and her son was even harder to watch this time. I'm getting more and more interested in finding out what the Conclave of Eight is about.

I love the way they dropped such a huge hint in Raffi's son's dialog.

 

[cooleddie74]

I always figured the Neutral Zone collapsed by 2387 anyways. Without a Romulus and Remus and the central star system of the empire wiped from existence there'd be no need for a long demilitarized buffer between the Federation and a power that for all intents and purposes no longer had the will nor resources to patrol their side of it.

 

[Gilora]

I didn't say you shouldn't, I was merely pointing out the folly of becoming too attached to minor characters in the Trek Universe.
I too was very disappointed with my namesake (David) being killed, but I also saw the value of the powerful significance in how it affected the main character of the story.

When Kirk walks over to cover David's body with his jacket, McCoy and Scotty stop ministering to Spock, look up and silently watch the admiral. It was a powerful scene, at least to me.

 

[cooleddie74]

Not to mention how both Scotty and McCoy watch Kirk collapse in anguish on the bridge as he learns David has been killed. The pained expressions on both of their faces was a truly wonderful dramatic touch to that moment.

So what do you if the Borg Nanites infect your Replicator?

Like everything concerning the Borg--destroy it.

Shag, like most 70's fashion, is a crime against humanity.

If you had said "80's" I would have agreed with you. Especially the hair. shudder

The 70s were an orange and avocado nightmare. Women's hair stood a chance of taking wing and flying away.

My grandma had a green and brown Shag Carpet in her living room when I was little.

It was my go to place for Jungle Warfare with my large assortment of Green Army Men.

(usually against my Barrel of Monkeys)

 

[Danja]

Impossible, a bar would indicate there is alcohol in the future.

The worst I saw was orange shag in my high school. It was awful.

There might still be soldiers and monkeys still hiding in that carpet.
I thank god my parents' house never had shag.
