Enjoyed this episode so much. Have to admit was not able to keep it together for the Picard/Riker/Troi scenes. Sad about Hugh being killed
Spoilers Episode 7 "Nepenthe"
- Thread starter NCC-73515
- Start date
Who left behind Seven’s beacon for Elnor to find?
Probably Picard.
Was that not the Borg Queen's chamber? I assume Picard left it for Hugh or Elnor to find it if needed.
It's someone who is even older in-universe than Picard. Someone we haven't seen before, but someone we definitely will see. Ian McKellan definitely fits the bill, but that may be too on the nose. What other actor near/at their 80s who is still active who can make a great cameo? Hint, may or may not have same last name as a major American car manufacturer
Imagine the reaction on Ze Interwebz if that were the case
Nah, the character's not being set up as a surprise casting stunt. Clearly Crandal is someone we've seen before. Someone who likes living on the fringes of human society. Someone who would take a liking to an overly-curious little brat. Someone who would be keeping tabs on Bruce Maddox.
Yes, Captain Crandal is Noonien Soong.

Mick Dodge, the Barefoot Sensei? Didn't know he was into professional acting.
Yeah, I don't think she made it.
Sure, and it was comical then as well, especially for the lower ranking Klingons. The ketchup bottle sound effects didn't help. But it was a little different in that it was 1) making a point about zero G and 2) it was a plot point. It didn't come off as "Fist of the North Star" style squirting.
I have no idea what Riker you were watching at all. Riker could be petulant, but never unfeeling or cruel. He's gone out of his way to help people and bond with other cultures. I could list several dozen episodes.
This, we agree on.
It seems the TNG crew are only capable of thinking up innovative and groundbreaking solutions when they're on a tv show. If not, they are hapless and helpless to events they otherwise would be able to defeat.
He comes off cold towards Data and Soong at the end of 'Brothers' for example. Jellico wasn't a great commander, but Riker handled things poorly with him too. Totally unsympathetic to his duplicate Thomas Riker. Blamed that Betazoid guy for his Academy classmate's death when legally he was cleared. I'm probably forgetting a few.
Again, I said Riker's bark is worse than his bite. I can see him talking smack about Romulans (which he did), but not necessarily to their faces I'm sure (unless one of them is Jellico) and he obviously didn't try to stop the evacuation. But we also have no indication he joined Picard in protesting the decision to ditch them later either.
There's no life support going to be available when the people doing the hacking don't give a fig about their victims to being with.
Seven's ship was pretty much a one person affair and I doubt she could have gotten Icheb anywhere fast enough to save him.
They were on a backwater planet just about in the middle of nowhere.
Also, I like bologna.

I believe that it was actually a skinned rabbit.
Riker called it a BUNNICORN.
The weird thing about that is it was referred to as bunnicorn sausage.
As a vegan, I don't know much about making sausage, but I'm pretty sure it's not just meat picked fresh off a carcass. Doesn't it need to be aged with salt and spices?
So's Orsen Wells.Dude, sorry to break it to you, but John Ford's been dead for like decades.
Dunno. Having "villains" who are misunderstood or have shades of gray rather than being "pure evil" seems pretty standard Star Trek to me.
meh, I fought a lot of chaotic neutral villains back in my day, but the evil ones, I'll always remember
Some sausages are aged, but there are also many types that are just chopped/diced fresh meat of some kind, with the appropriate herbs & spices added and then packed into a edible casing and cooked.
Fresh Italian Hot & Sweet are two types that come to mind.
