Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x02 - "Penance"

[Divinity Davey]

In one of the previews...

Spoiler

Q gives Adam Soong a small vile with something in it.
Perhaps it's some version of the augment virus?
It's apparently something that causes humanity to go on a crash course of Alien Bigotry.

I still think the vial is in the shape of a bullet

His face doesn't change over the centuries but his name does.

An interest in Androids.

He's f*cking Flint.

So in this alternate timeline you think general sisko has Weyons skull and a calcified changeling in his trophy room?

In this timeline, I doubt the Bajoran Wormhole was discovered; or that The Founders made themselves visible to the Confederation. Remember, the Cardassians, Klingons, even the Borg and all the other races were either killed off, or subjugated; and they were finalizing the conquest of Vulcan.

Thus, I doubt The Dominion would have made themselves known as the Confederation was a Galactic power they didn't want to antagonize.

Looks like a regular Eppi, perhaps a bit more curved

Sisko went back in time, made love to his father, and gave birth to himself.

How time Travel works (sometimes) is that if some one else changes the timeline while you are outside time or protected by temporal anomalies or temporal shielding, or encroached by stellar events like being super close to a black hole, you don't change.

Our Sisko would have gone back to fuck his dad, and found the wrong man.

Well, same Man, different life.

I think Cal Hudson would have gotten the post on Bajor.

Although his tactics and timeline (agenda) would have been different, as an officer of the Confederation.

The Dominion may not have been present but Odo probably would have been sent off to the AQ in the 2170s? ( Laas indicates that he has been with the Varalans for around two hundred years.)

If Odo was found among the Bajorans, he may have been killed (or taken to a lab where he's still being studied). The Dominion didn't make itself known to the Federation until they had more intel on the strength of the Federation.

Again, in this timeline - either they don't know of the Confederation, and still expect Odo to return in 300 years or so; or the DO know of the Confederation and they figure it's too powerful to take on - OR - that (given what it's doing and how it's doing it); at some point it will collapse, but it will have done the Founders work for them in wiping out most of the other 'solids' getting to that point -- ergo they don't need to do a thing; just let things play out.

Poor Apollo. Sitting out there waiting on humans to come worship him.

Assuming the Confederation didn't already blow Pollux IV to bits.

 

[Tuskin38]

The fuck are you talking about? That never happened.

He knows what he did.

The biggest threat to the Dominion was the Borg.

The Dominion probably had a 300 year long plan to cancel the Borg.

If someone took out the Borg, they would be paying attention, even if were not in a mood to make first contact.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Sarah Sisko was a prophet who wen back in time and sexed up Joseph Sisko.

Later Ben Sisko became a Prophet.

Ben Sisko is obviously Sarah Sisko.

If any other Prophet tried to pull Joseph, it'd be like Sheldon Cooper talking about coitus.

 

[Tuskin38]

Ben Sisko is obviously Sarah Sisko.

No he isn't. The Fan Fiction section is further down the forum.

[Mr Awe]

Awesome episode! The premiere was also fantastic! Loving the feel of Picard far more than Discovery this season.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

If they are going to 2024, I desperately want them to just have a TV in the background with news coverage of the Bell Riots. That would be so awesome.

They don’t even have to mention it in the script. Just have it there in the background once or twice.

"That B.C. guy's hat looks stupid."

"What?"

"Nothing."

In some of the previous trailers for the whole season there are shots with Raffi walking around 2024 LA and seeing signs on fences that read “Sanctuary Disctrict,” a direct reference to the Bell Riots story.

Except that the Dominion Alliance is mentioned in the news update on the President sitrep screen. Plus, Picard has Jem'Hadar weapons in his collection.

I also like how they disproved any MU origin story theories already. “General Sisko”, and references to how Sarek died.
