That was good. It took some turns I didn't expect.
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 1x09 - "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 1"
- Thread starter pst
- Start date
That was an incredible episode. I'm still processing everything, but I cannot wait for next week.
Sounds to me like the Romulans understood the Admonition pretty well.
I thinking that Seven will have some kind of Borg Weapon working when the Romulans arrive.
Narek is going to run into Elnor ... and get his just deserts.
I really doubt Jean-Luc will willingly let his consciousness be placed into a Synth body.
It would mean letting Soong Jr. (DATA) die again for his behalf.
I think there's more to Sutra and Narek than we have been shown at the moment.
Is Narek able to manipulate a Synth?
Obviously Soji is no longer susceptible though.

I like the TOS/TNG-style dresses and clothing worn by the Synths on their planet. The whole aesthetic of the community was a throwback to the TNG Era.
There's going to be some sort of twist in Episode 10 that can't be foreseen from the end of Episode 9.
But one thing I do foresee is that it'll be Seven who brings the cavalry, not Starfleet. Starfleet saving the day is everything this series isn't, so it won't be them.

it was a missed opportunity that there was no Enterprise reference.
Frankly, I'm not sure they have mothers, given the fact that they're all identical.The third member of the Soong family played by Brent. He's the spitting image of his great-great-grandfather.
The first android cat in Star Trek?
Um... feloid?
I'll need to rewatch it, but this is the first episode I wasn't initially keen on. The character moments, the attention to the small details of world-building, and the deliberate pace were largely absent. It felt to me like far too much far too fast, with character choices, like Soji's, that didn't feel motivated, and character beats, like Picard meeting Soong, that didn't have room to breathe. Not sold on Akiva's direction, which is also a first in what was a stellar season.
I guess I'll need to watch again. I did like the twist with the Admonition, and there were some decent moments. But this felt like a different show, lacking the lyricism that sold me on this series from the start. I wish I didn't feel so down on it.

Recessive Jeans?
Nobody gets between me and my Bionic Boys.
The Borg cube bursting into flame as it enters the atmosphere may be the coolest visual of this entire episode. That was impressive. I just wish we'd gotten another shot of it plummeting from a distance before it impacted.
When Sutra showed up she gave out a creepy vibe. I immediately didn't trust her. Something was really off about her.
If we do see a Starfleet armada next week I bet Admiral Clancy will be leading it.though it could be Riker I suppose.
I think Dr. Soong's son takes more after his ancestor Arik more than he does his father. He came off a bit sinister.

Arik was the creepiest Soong for sure.
