If the Borg Queen manages to outmeme like a bantha we‘ll live in a better world.Saw this on Facebook and it made me laugh:
It was a nice landing. ¡Ay caramba¡
They are on a roll here, I wonder how long they can keep this up. For now Picard season 2 had been a 3/3 for me. This episode continued the interesting storyline forward and was once again well crafted episode. It seems like the main band of our heroes get smaller each episode, since we he not seen Isa Briones since the first episode, and now Evan Evagora's character is also a goner (maybe they'll come back though, nothing is finite in Star Trek). I enjoyed the humor, but also liked the serious scenes were powerful as well.
9/10. If they can keep this pace up, this could be one of the best Trek seasons ever.

Well, the make up is good but that is horrifying.Saw this on Facebook and it made me laugh:
Definitely.
And it looks like the meme was created from an outtake where Annie Wershing was goofing off a bit between scenes.

Am I the only one who is surprised at how healthy/even the Borg Queen's skin tone is under normal light?
Yeah, I remember the Borg Queen in First Contact wasn't that ash white that Borg were in TNG, but still.
If Raffi is also in this world's counterpart body instead of her own, then it's possible that she's no longer addicted to Snakebite.
Although, there's a mental aspect to addiction, so that really just means that her new body has none of the old tolerances of her old body, and if she tries to get high again, it will be just like the first time again.
That's nice for Raffi.
But, how does Elnor being in his doppelganger's body change that body's Vulcanoid physiology? Neither he or his doppelganger are addicts. Neither he or his doppelganger have Borg implants. Neither he or his doppelganger are synths. Same for Rios and Jurati. From what has been presented they and their doppelgangers are 100 human.
That's a newfangled makeup technique where they color grade the complexion in post. It creates a more natural effect than caking on makeup to achieve pallor, which can become pretty noticeable at high resolutions. They did the same thing with Palpatine in The Rise of Skywalker.
Huh? It's 'Our Future'? I must have missed the Eugenics Wars of the 1990ies ("...whole populations BOMBED out of existence...", etc.) Star Trek diverged from being 'our' future quite early in its run.
The original conceit was it was our Future, just as most TV shows are set in our "present". I'm sure Gene and company had no intention of some sort of alternate reality. Tossing in dates close to the time of production was a misstep. But, WWII was just two decades past and WWI was a couple decades prior to that. I can forgive them for thinking the next global conflict would be in 30 years time. (And thank God, it wasn't). They were also a little off on the pace of the space race, but those were heady times.
I've always been if favor of ditching dates and concepts that no longer work. Unfortunately fans and even some pros just can't let go of any date point. The holy writ cannot be changed.
Also because the music cut out in the middle of the song like that XD
Both bodies are Romulan.
One is dead and in the Confederate timeline and the other is Alive and in the Federation timeline.
Q can take souls from one body in one timeline and then stuff into another body in another timeline.
As long as Q can find Elnor's soul, which may be difficult to impossible, now that it has left it's confederate corpse, Q can put it back in Federation Elnor's body at the end of this adventure.
Seven and Raffi might have their lesbian virginity back. In Supernatural Dean Winchester made a big deal about re-losing his new virginity after the angels replaced his old body. In True blood the ginger virgin vampire Jessica's hymen grew back after every time she had sex.
Which is particularly bizarre given the contradictions in canon on this very issue.
Relevantly, Spock says in Space Seed - "The mid-1990s was the era of your last so-called World War." However, WWIII was in 2026-2053, and was entirely separate to the Eugenics Wars.
Uh huh - right? It's 'writer's that can't let go...'
you must have HATED STII: TWoK because without those dates - you wouldn't get Khan vs Kirk or the now classic "Khannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!" bit. (Yeah, if only the writers on that fiim 'let go of the dates'
(And this next part is NOT directed at the person I'm quoting above, but when I also see posts in this thread such as (see below):
Sorry, but given anytime something doesn't jibe with how a 'fan' remembers or thinks something should go it's always "Well, these writers OBVIOUSLY don't know Trek..."
Yeah, never mind ALL the anecdotes these writers have about BEING Trek fans, etc - yeah, they're obviously not 'real fans'....because hey - Warp 8 was the highest Warp Speed called out in a TOS episode (TOS - S1 "Tomorrow Is Yesterday') - EXCEPT this same "Superfan" should recall that at one point when Spock was doing the call outs - Kirk's resonse was "Never mind..."
But yeah, everyone on the current Star trek production staff must not know Trek because hey, its not the SAME Trek of my era...be it 60s, 70s, or 80s -2005s (the last being Berman Trek, which as time goes on I find that with the exception of DS9 and ENT becomes more unwatchable since Berman and Braga reveled in the fact they didn't know TOS - although both admitted to 'eventually watching it...' <---
But yeah (because they called out Warp9+ in a slingshot time travel sequence , somehow Trekker4747 says:
Yeah, sure. And as someone who to this day LOVES TOS and still has to put up with the -" Well TNG is the 'real Trek' and it 'fixed' the outdated and sexist 60s version...and is GR's 'true Trek vision...' " over the years from the TNG lovers crowd...
Yeah, give me a break. I can point out all the errors and retcons; but here's the thing <--- That aspect has been the way Trek has been written since TOS; and NO during the later years and especially the Berman years, it DIDN'T improve -- they always do what they think is best for the story they're telling now...and honestly you just need to look at VOYs "Future's End" to CONFIRM that as in VOY's timeline - somehow the Eugenics Wars didn't happen. That doesn't mean the ENTIRE writing staff at that time didn't know as I'm sure a few did - BUT - it DIDN'T FIT with what they wanted to tell, so yeah, for that story, the Eugenics' Wars never happened.
I may not like some of the directions and decisions they take something here and there; but no, it doesn't mean "The writing staff obviously 'doesn't know' Trek. As always, they do what they need/want to to tell their story - and that's how Trek has been written since 1964 when the TOS pilot - "The Cage" was written.
Star Trek was shown to not be our reality as early as the late 1960s when they travelled back to then-present day Earth in "Assignment: Earth" and had the US launching orbital nuclear weapons platforms to counter the previously-launched Soviet orbital nuclear weapons platforms.
