Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 1x09 - "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 1"

[ITDUDE]

So let's take a look at all the pieces on the chess board.
-Romulan Fleet (with most likely Rizzo on-board) heading to Soji's Planet
-La Sirena heading to Soji's Planet (and per Sneak Peek, will get there first)
-Narek in cloaked scout right behind La Sirena
-Federation Fleet (a squadron, whatever that means) going to Deep Space 12, primed to miss all the fun.
-Fully functional Borg Cube in command by the good guys with no set destination yet
Did I miss anything? This is going to end up being a hell of a two-episode finale! Can't wait.

 

[KennyB]

Maybe the polls should be locked until the episodes have actually aired?

I really think the whole thread shouldn't be posted before maybe 48 hours before the airdate.......but I know folks get giddy. ;-)

You think Rizzo got away from the Borg mosh pit? Did I miss something?

The fact that the thread is 3 pages long before most people have even seen 1x08 would just mean a lot of new 1x09 related threads that you guys would have to keep merging into single thread anyway.

Definitely, it's visible that she beamed out. Maybe she has been infected with some Borg nanites (if xBs have been reactivated) but she is definitely still alive.

Damn---watched at 0800 on the iPad.......must watch that scene on a bigger screen!

 

[ThreeEdgedSword]

Picard has enough time to notify Clancy where he is going, doesn't he? Off-screen of course, so we'll be worried the cavalry won't arrive in time.

Perhaps... so a final showdown between Borg Cube, Federation, Romulans plus whoever the Big Bad that Romulans are afraid of in the season finale?

Giddy is one thing, selecting a vote on the poll before you're able to even watch it in it's entirety is another. The poll should technically only unlock about 1 hr after the earliest possible air time based on local time zone.

Or people shouldn't be douchebags...........

This is the internet, have you seen the kind of people they let onto the internet? No standards, anybody can just waltz in and vote.

-Romulan Fleet (with most likely Rizzo on-board) heading to Soji's Planet

Whom I'm hoping has been injected with Borg Nanites.

-Federation Fleet (a squadron, whatever that means) going to Deep Space 12, primed to miss all the fun

I'm thinking that Jean-Luc would probably send word that they are going somewhere else now.

Yes, there was a bit of a sparkle and she disappeared.

 

[Peak]

Thanks..

There should maybe have been an option to delete your own vote, but that might be abused too, so...

Well, we still don't know who besides Oh are the bad guys in Starfleet. If he gives them the location of the Synths home world for all he knows they will come in with order to destroy the whole planet. Remember, they are still banned in the whole Federation.

Given what happened at Picard's last meeting with Clancy, do you seriously think she'd help him now?

 

[Uhura's Song]

Definitely, it's visible that she beamed out. Maybe she has been infected with some Borg nanites (if xBs have been reactivated) but she is definitely still alive.

Would make her statement to Ramdha bout being a better drone foreshadowing.

The official grading poll should be done by @Commander Richard. He has been good at starting it at the right time, and with a nice poster too. Of course others are free to start threads about the trailer, speculation threads, etc.

Are we sure Clancy is not amongst them?

And like Rios said, are we sure they are wrong?

It will be difficult to identify them all, something else is needed to draw them out.

Ideally the best way would be for the truth to come out and show that the fear is unwarranted, it would then all fall apart.

It is no accident that the Commodore and Picard have not met yet, she is the one he needs to convince so she will give up all the others.

There are two ways to do that, show her she is wrong or raise the stakes to the point where she has to go all in.

Thing is if there is already a planet full of synths then its already too late and the big bad is probably already on its way.

We may not see a battle between Starfleet/Borg Cube and the Romulans at all, it could end up being everyone vs the big bad.

Which would then prove the Zhat Vash to be right, it will also prove that they are completely useless and after all the deaths they failed anyway.

Probably earliest we got a thread for next episode yet

Unless you count episode 7, since that accidentally released early.
