She did nearly kill him, she mentions his spleen is in a box.
And would the Shenzhen Convention itself be one of the consequences of the Eugenics Wars?
I thought they said the Borg Queen nearly killed the cop.
And then we would have people complaining about how a chained guy with no weapon escapes from ICE with no help. The way they did it makes perfect sense.
it is! The cast on Picard has always been great.
It wasn't a Star Trek spin off. It was supposed to be a stand alone show but was retroed into a Trek episode afterwards.
It was a spun-in, hoping to make it a spin-off.
With all these "Strange New World" trailers out there, which actually look like a Star Trek show, I completely forgot a new episode of PIC was out.
I just watched this episode. My interest in this show is pretty much running dry.
In a show called "Star Trek" I really don't care about pensioneers breaking in into a present day gala event to cure a cute girl from depression. ugh.

What's the text at the top? One looks like blood type, maybe the other one is organ donor, but the third?
Sorry to disappoint you but it's much simpler :
- the "P" means Personal *
- 092871225 is supposed to be the passport registration number (besides, you can find the registration number repeated at the bottom, on the right ). I say "supposed" because in reality, our registration numbers are composed of a series of numbers, criss-crossed by 2 alphabetical letters. As you can see, these last ones are missing, here.
* According to the International Civil Aviation Organization, ICAO), there are 7 various forms of transport (personal passeport; frequent flyer passport; temporary passport; diplomatic passport; urgent diplomatic passport; mission passport and service passport)
As for the numbers at the bottom, after FRA,, it is a complete nonsense. Indeed, the NNI (National
Identification Number, in english) which identifies a person in the national identification directory of natural persons managed by INSEE (Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques -> The national institute of statistics and economic studies), valid for life.like our social security number as seeing as both sequences of numbers are the same, are composed by 13 numbers, followed by 2 other numbers.
It is composed this way :
- the first number of the NIN refer to the gender (1 for males and 2 for females);
- the numbers 2 and 3 refer to year of birth;
- the numbers 4 and 5 refer to birth month;
- the numbers 6 and 7 refer to the department of birth;
- the numbers 8,9 and 10 refer to the order number of the town of birth in the department;
- the numbers 11, 12 and 13 refer to the birth certificate serial number in the month and the municipality (=locality);
- the numbers 14 and 15 (here, it would be 18) refers to the value key).
On this passeport, I don't find the sequence of 13 numbers and even the code for the locality is wrong as seeing as Châteauneuf-Grasse has for postal code 06740 and the department of birth, Alpes-Maritimes, is 06.
It seems to me that some basic research would have been welcome but well... .
The main thing I disliked was the notion of injecting an instant magical cure to a debilitating genetic disorder. An experienced geneticist should know that any cure would have to work gradually over weeks and months. It was as lame as NuKhan blood, or mushroom travel to anywhere is the universe or the movie Prometheus where experienced scientists practically streaked across an unknown planet.
What on Earth would a young cast have to do with "woke-ness?"
Also the cast really isn't that young. Allison Pill is 36; Isa Briones is 23; Evan Evagora is 25; Michelle Hurd is 55; Santiago Cabrera is 43; Harry Treadaway is 37; and Orla Brady is 61.
So Cabrera is just 3 years younger than Stewart was when TNG premiered, Hurd is almost 10 years older than Stewart was in TNG S1, and Brady is almost 15 years older than Stewart was in TNG S1.
(And that, of course, is to say nothing of returning stars Jeri Ryan [54], Brent Spiner [73], Whoopi Goldberg [66], and John de Lancie [74].)
So I really don't think the cast is all that young. You've got two people in their 20s, two people in their 30s, one person in his 40s, two people in their 50s, two people in their 60s, two people in their 70s, and the star in his 80s.
I could see an argument that having a cast that's so diverse in age is "woke" just because you've literally got cast members in almost every decade of adult life, but that's as far as I'd go with that. And I don't even think that was intentional -- I think it just ended up working out that way because so much of PIC as a narrative is about Jean-Luc looking back on his life and building relationships as a result of his age and coming to terms with his mortality.
I mean, from an in-universe perspective, Archer and the NX-01 would probably be seen as more important since Archer is basically the Federation's George Washington. But the real reason, of course, is that the audience still loves William Shatner's Kirk, whereas Scott Bakula's Archer was an absolute wet blanket.
With that lineup of pensioners, they could use this title
Even better....
Adam Soong: Stop playing games with me Q, what was in that vial I injected into my daughter???!!!!
Q: Khan's blood.
I would love that.
As opposed to magic crystal travel?
Khan's blood almost killed Kirk and placed him in a coma. So it wasn't like the insta-cure Q gave Soong. Khan's incredible recuperative abilities are from Space Seed. In the real world blood based therapeis are a thing.
Is this your first encounter with Movie/TV medicine? Insta-cures are a long-standing trope. Trek does it a lot.
When I was younger, I had the time to stick with shows I didn't really like in the beginning. I don't have that luxury anymore.
The same way I abandonded DIS (and the the DIS forum) a few years ago, I guess I'll just let go of Picard. Not because it's bad. It really isn't. There's lots of good & interesting stuff in there, and I think it has the heart at the right place.
I'm just not engaged.
Which is a real shame, since I think PIC (this season, but also the series in general) had a pretty strong start.
Anyway, I wish y'all have some great fun with it!
See you on the SNW board in the future, really hope I'll stay there longer than one season.
I actually liked this episode a lot - 9.
Predictable and still unpredictable in spots.
- As others have said, Jurati/Brog Queen interaction is a highlight across this series.
- As a TOS fan, I LOVE the callback to TOS and the Gary 7/Assignment Earth alien race. (Although I have to wonder when they finally decided to give up after the Q timeline change.
And, as for everything they do and what happens; remember that effectively it now all becomes part of the timeline that leads to the 23rd and 24th centuries we know and love - OR - time itself realigns after the divergence is stopped -- so either way, no harm, no foul.
Season 2 of Picard is so much better than Season 1 was for me (so far). I'm actually looking forward to watching these upcoming episodes. (Honestly at this point in S1 - I thought they had spent too much time showing Picard's 'I resigned from Star Fleet and they let me...' from too many angles. hell by the 5th episode of S1, the actual story had hardly started.) They've done a much better (though not perfect) job with the pacing in this season and really given everyone in the main cast something interesting to play, character wise.

True. Assimilation shouldn't be near instantaneous, either.
Well, borderline 7/8 for me.
You could really see the Agnes/Borg Queen thing coming. The Queen has gone from a Cylon hybrid to Head Six. I ooved BSG so I am fine with it. Plus, Wersching is knocking it out of the park, so more of her is good.
Cutting the episode off at the party kind if irked me a bit. Go 50 minutes and wrap it up.
At least the Seven/Raffi/Rios stuff was better this week.
I do think Q is trying to help. He usually is.
From the early season stuff, I though Picard's past would play a role, but that has been totally written off so far. Boo!
