Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 1x06 - "The Impossible Box"

[Anters]

That is correct except you are already in a thread that is tagged as a spoiler.

This thread was tagged as spoilers from the start.

Its in red letters before the title.

I know all this - you misunderstand the context of my posts. You’d have to read it from the beginning and believe me it’s not worth it. It was just about me correcting WarpFactorZ’s comment that made no sense here:

“WarpFactorZ said:
Stop with the spoiler tags! Unless you know something about the actual show, your personal theories aren't spoilers. They're speculation. If they turn out to be correct, that's a fluke, not clairvoyance.”

Basically all posts with personal theories and discussions about them will inevitably contain spoilers, because they will mention information from the most recent episodes (breaking the 2-week rule). Therefore they should be tagged ‘spoilers’, in my opinion.

Not if they're in the most recent episode thread. Any spoilers up to and including said episode are fair game.

What do people make of that Borg drone who woke up when Picard got that dizzy spell? He’s not an XB (doesn’t look like he’s been worked on).

If he woke up because of Picard, then will he follow Picard to Nepenthe to capture/assimilate him? Doesn’t make sense as Picard is passed his sell-by-date.

There was this speaker announcement a bit later about sectors getting closed, chronometric activity, etc. I think that has something to do with Borg waking up. I guess in the next episode they start to assimilate the XB, Romulans and everyone else on the cube.

The awakened Borg: "We are BACK!! You will be assimilated! Resistance is Futile!!"

The awakened Borg: "We are BACK!! You will be assimilated! Resistance is Futile!!"

Which begs the question.

Did the Borg try to assimilate a synth on that Romulan ship causing the collapse.

Or

Did they just assimilate a normal Romulan who knew the secret and that alone was enough to collapse the Borg cube.

The latter is a much bigger deal than the former, that just the knowledge of the secret itself could cripple a Borg cube.

If the Borg cube does wake up will the secret have changed it at all.

Yes, but that's not the thrust of WarpFactorZ's comment - he implies that when people create posts about their personal theories (not in the recent episode thread but standalone posts), that they *shouldn't* prefix them as spoilers. I think that would be a mistake. Prefixing them as spoilers is simply prudent...

 

[Tosk]

he will tell her his secret 4th name that was setup in this episode.

Romulans have three names, not four. And he told her the third one already in this episode.

WarpFactorZ said that in this thread about this thread. WarpFactorZ is correct. That's my official judgment. Now let's drop this and move on.

You know, I would have liked to see Data go into Berserk mode in TNG more often. I cheered when SOJI broke the FRAKKING FLOOR to escape!

 

[DEWLine]

And that floor was made of any number of older materials that not only were expected to withstand prolonged warp-speed travel but also newer ones made to shield life signs from scan.

 

[Skipper]

Yep! Under the wood you could see the bare metal (and I loved the glimpse of sheer terror on the Romulani faces)

 

[The Old Mixer]

I alluded to this upthread, but that reminded me of the moment in the Incredible Hulk episode "Prometheus" when the Hulk did the same thing...to escape a force field, IIRC.

 

[Gonzo]

Romulans have three names, not four. And he told her the third one already in this episode.

She asked him about his 4th name (reserved for love only) but he didn't tell her and left instead.

He was shocked that she even knew about 4th names.

EDIT: @Tosk is correct it should be 3rd name and he told her it while they were in the special room.

The love-only name was the third, and he told her later...in the meditation chamber, IIRC.

 

[Skipper]

I believe the only time that Data did something vaguely similar was when in First Contact he tossed around a couple of Borgs before being captured.

 

[The Old Mixer]

He had his Superman moment where we learned that he was bulletproof. "Greetings."

 

[Gonzo]

The love-only name was the third, and he told her later...in the meditation chamber, IIRC.

Really, I could have sworn they said 4 names while in bed.

I tend to only watch the episodes once and I did miss a bit of dialogue while they were in the special room, typical that it would be important.

Fair enough I stand corrected. @Tosk

I will also go back and edit my original post to stop any further corrections gumming up the thread.

 

[Gonzo]

Yeah they were no match for him which is to be expected as he is fully synthetic and no Borg could match a true android in strength, speed or processing power.

That is what always struck me about Lore, he could essentially kill everyone if he wanted to and with a few modifications even energy weapons and force fields wouldn't be able to stop him.

Data 2.0 (aka Soji) is new and improved version of Data 1.0. Data needs to have his emotion chip on to feel enraged, while Soji has built in emotions, which made her able to go berserk and break the floor .

 

[Skipper]

Right!
