Spoilers Season 2 Trailers, Previews, and Promos

I'm thinking Icheb is still alive in this timeline (and Jay is trying to pry his post out of Seven).
That could be interesting. But wait, would he have been assimilated in this timeline if Seven wasn't? So Jay would have to be another kind of nefarious, if there are no implants to be "harvested". Unless AltSeven just had her implants removed after the fact.
Rather an elegant means of resolving that issue (for now).

Alter the timeline! Brilliant! :lol:
You know, maybe it's like with those persons in soaps who are cheating and totally want to tell their partner, only every time they try (not very hard), something happens... Someone comes in, or your partner tells you how much they love and trust you, etc.
And here, every time they're heading to a place with jurisdiction to get it sorted, something happens. AI who want to destroy the world, Q, alternate timelines... what can ya do?!
 
Then Geordi should be in jail too ( The Mind's Eye ). In the end he was influenced in a similar way like Jurati by the Romulans!
I've no idea if that was the same thing (don't remember) and if they made that call without a doctor or a judge, but I honestly don't care. I judge Picard by its owm merits and I just assume there is a decent legal system within the Federation.
 
When it comes to Q, was "All Good Things" really featuring "new" timelines? Will this be one? Q could create such an elaborate illusion.

Any good lawyer would cite precedence of multiple occurrences of Federation citizens being possessed, alternated and mind controlled to at least get the sentenced reduced to community service aboard a civilian ship maintaining computer systems.

With Q I don't think there's any fundamental difference between creating an illusion and creating reality.
 
The future uniform and badge from All Good Things showed up in alternate futures shown in DS9 and Voyager.

So if Q's future was an illusion, he probably used things from 'real' possible futures to create it.

I personally don't think Q created the future we saw. It was the future or a possible future until present Picard learned of it. Then butterflies.

Well, at least that means there would be a trial!

My computer is still acting up - maybe melting bc of the heat - so I'll mostly be trying to read for now... Lost a huge multiquote yesterday, oh well.

The heat is rough. Sorry to hear that.

Would love a trial. Doubt we'll get it. The first season appears largely forgotten.
 
I like Picard's version of Q. :)

He's far more malevolent, far more Mephistophelean, than he was In the Berman era (Berman-era Q was much more foppish and OTT).

How can you tell that from about 10 seconds of clips? Q had a huge range in TNG, from "Eat any good books lately?" to "... terrors to freeze your soul." I could edit a trailer from TNG clips and make him look equally as dark.
 
Q can certainly sound malevolent...I just don't think he actually is that.

I mean, he does still seem to have Picard's best interests at heart, otherwise he wouldn't bother putting him through all these 'trials'.

And let's be honest, if Q truly were evil...he could wipe out anyone and everyone with a mere thought.
