nice to know that in about two years, WWIII will begin.
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x03 - "Assimilation"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
It was decent but probably the weakest episode of the season for me so far. I'd probably give it a 7. The whole immigration thing seemed a little predictable (Even though I liked Teresa) and the stuff with Jurati and the Borg Queen was just ok. There was nothing in this episode that leads me to believe we are heading towards sanctuary districts. It's more ripped from the headlines.
Elnor dying was a bit of a shock though.

2026 has been the canon date of WW3 for years
Unless Mr. Putin decides to rush things.
I'm kinda on board with this so far, but this was the weakest episode in the season. I more or less like all of the characters except for Raffie/Raphie/whatevetitis she just feels to harsh and out of place. Didn't really care Romulan Kid died, bailed on S1 half-way in so have no connection to him, I suspect he'll be back in some way somehow by mid-season.
And of course the future in this interpretation of Trek puts chips in people for ID and vaccination and stuff. That just seems odd. If it had just been the Universal Translator, sure. Maybe even vaccination aids, but ID chips? I dunno, doesnt quite track with me. Minor thing, though.
We'll see where it goes, I'm still cautious.

Just watched Disco, now I'm over here. Thank God they killed off Seven's "husband" as quickly as they did. He won't be missed.
Where was it mentioned actually?
...except the already existing sanctuary districts in this episode.
Homeless encampments are not necessarily sanctuary districts, unless I missed a scene.

I wish they did the '80s music video graphics when they went back in time like in TVH. But still pretty good.
I missed the sign there so I stand corrected.
Last September I visited Seattle and there were homeless encampments around the city, specifically near the underground tour. That was why I differentiated encampments with sanctuary districts.
Exactly, Seven an Raffie were able to go about their mission so clearly they weren't entrapped inside a sealed off area. (Though the point of Sanctuary Districts was too prevent the visual unappealingness of poverty/homelessness so it doesn't seem like there'd be these homeless encampments if Sanctuary Districts are a thing. ... I guess also with LA's size and population the homelessness is so out of control it's overwhelming their ability to encamp people. Seven and Raffie may also have just been clever enough to get out of rhe District and we just weren't told/shown.)
Rios just faceplanting the sidewalk might be the hardest I've laughed at an episode of Trek in a long time. A perfect moment of levity after a particularly brutal opening.
that sign was seen months ago in the trailers
Ah, this one I guess

Why was Seven able to walk in and out of the district? I mean what function would they serve then if people could just come and go as they please? Or did LA run theirs differently than San Fran did?
