Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x02 - "Penance"

[thribs]

So something Picard did has caused Q to become I’ll and he’s pissed about it.

General Sisko

They name-dropped Dukat and Martok, and my dumb thirst for DS9 nostalgia bait was almost satiated. And then they go and say General Sisko, and I'm basically screaming at the TV, "no, no, forget Rios for a second. Yes, yes, patch Avery Brooks through!"

So I have to say move over Mirror universe, the Confederation is making a play for worse timeline ever.

Nope. Not even close for me. MU has been silly except for the very first one.

Well if Q changed the timeline then what does it do to that time Q was human.

I'm guessing it's because of all the times he's interacted with Humans.
He's become allergic to us.
Be just like him to blame Picard for his own foolishness.

Confession: Dukat with a phaser bolt through his skull did give me a moment of, "Well, this timeline isn't *all* bad..."

Hahah, right? Plus, Sisko's alive. :P (I mean, he's probably back by now in the Prime Universe. But we don't have confirmation...!)

Something has affected the whole reality and is affecting the Continuum in some way. I imagine they are linked.

Worst in universe (evil) or as a viewer (crap)

Maybe it's evil Jake

I'm aware of that aspect of the character, just not a fan of how the writers room is executing it so far this season. The approach to Absolute Candor in S1 was blunt openness about observations that might usually be circumspect or speaking unwelcome truths. The approach in S2E2 seems to be more chatterbox, more in line with the season putting Elnor explicitly in the "kid" role, and it's grating on me in a way it didn't last season.



So far as I know, we haven't seen any preview material with Elnor in 2024 LA, and I'm a bit concerned he's going to be killed off or largely incapacitated for this chunk of the story so that our intrepid crew doesn't have to explain how Raffi's son fell into a mechanical rice picker. But even so, not too worried - death is a variable in sci-fi, even moreso when time travel is involved.

I really like Elenor. But I was curious about his more exuberant attitude, and I was wondering if that was him being away from the Romulan society that raised him and around much more cultures and I would assume a bunch of younger cadets. Not to mention in a society that is trying to hold its self together versus one that is safe and secure (and least in comparison).

Shame we never saw Seven’s reaction to it being Q. She has also met him, and his son.

 

[DaveyNY]

I wonder how the Bajoran's took to being wiped out by the Confederation.
I would imagine they had plenty of experience before hand with the Cardassians' to put up quite a fight.
General Picard probably just phasered the planets surface from space.

And for all those people who wanted Deep Space Nine material in some of the new shows here you go enjoy the skulls........

So now they also find a way to ruin Q, as well. Amazingly consistent, these hacks.

You got that from about 7 or 8 minutes of screen time?
Must be interesting to live in that hateful little world of yours.

I can’t imagine how bad General Sisko is when Captain Sisko does things like this:

Q musta figured that Picard was getting angry enough to punch him like Sisko did and struck first.

"You hit me! Rick Berman's Q never hit me!"
