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

[Dale Sams]

Star Trek: Red Squad. Coming to CBSAA in 2022

Finally. Tom Paris vs Nicolas Locarno

 

[Cyrus]

I completely disagree about Narek. I thought the actor was outstanding and I'll miss him when he's gone

The actor is part of the main cast and listed in the opening credits. Of course in this post Game of Thrones world that doesn’t mean he is safe.

 

[Tosk]

The actor is part of the main cast and listed in the opening credits.

Only when he is actually in the episode though.

 

[Charles Phipps]

Every other time he faced the Borg in between he had the Enterprise and crew backing him up, and he still showed many signs of PTSD.

Plus these days he's feeling much more vulnerable.

It's not an argument that he shouldn't have PTSD, it's an argument that Federation medicine would be very good at treating it without his condition.

Finally. Tom Paris vs Nicolas Locarno

I totally think Nicholas Locarno should show up in this show in a major role. Just to be confusing.

Have him married to a Klingon engineer too.

 

[Discofan]

You say that but Shatner is still pretty active for a man his age. More so than Patrick I’d say.

Yet, we don't have a "Kirk" series, do we?

 

[NCC-73515]

Wow, Bernd over EAS gave this episode an 8.

And even called it the best episode in 15 years

So Earth is right by the Beta Quadrant? Interesting. Never paid attention to theoretical Trek maps.

It's in alpha half the year and beta the other half of the year

I've been wondering if Narek's feelings for Soji were real, and after this episode it definitely looks like they were not.

Then why did he cry? I think he allowed her to escape while pretending to still be on Narissa's side.

To say nothing about the embarrassing scene with the Klingon Chancellor.

I was nervous! - No. You were incompetent.

my initial thought was to say ‘yeah but that wasn’t sexual,’ but then I remembered that in Trek, everything is sexual to someone

Just like that choke wasn't sexual.

Those of us who are regular watchers of British TV on PBS have long known that main cast can be killed off anytime since Spooks (screened in the US as MI-5) killed off a main cast member in the second episode of the first season. That character was put inside a boiling frying fan before being shot in the head. Now that's a brutal way to go

Riker looks like Santa Claus inside his home/workshop in North Pole

 

[Captain pl1ngpl0ng]

^thats probably his new job!

Haha! I really dig Riker's scruffy-chubby silver fox bear look. Looks great on him.

 

[Captain Shaw]

Is Hugh human?

 

[Dale Sams]

Is Hugh human?

Thank you. Hugh, human, man.

 

[SJGardner]

His name is Hugh Mann, it's canon now.

 

[Kilana2]

When Picard....

Spoiler: Elnor

...told Elnor not to leave the ship, we know exactly that Elnor is going to leave the ship, no matter what....

 

[urbandk]

That was some serious Bond villain foiled death scene stuff with Narek and Soji.

 

[RJDiogenes]

What do you expect? She's a Space Millennial.
(Drink's on me this time. )

Ah, now I see. Alcoholism here I come.

Soji SMASH!

Indeed, with more smashing to come, I expect.

See here for my thoughts on that.

Interesting. I've been expecting, or hoping, that this series will end with a renaissance of the Federation and Starfleet's ideals, with Picard as the moral authority figure-- either as Commander Starfleet or the Federation President. But perhaps he'll assume more of a Dalai Lama role.

There is no question that the Federation and Starfleet will owe Picard big time when all is said and done.

Just how much pull that will get him remains to be seen.

No doubt that heads will roll in Starfleet and the Federations top ranks.

 

[JoeZhang]

I think there is absolutely no chance the show ends like that - it is clear that this is set up to provide a show that does not rely on Starfleet and to give a different perspective.
