Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x06 - "Two of One"

[jackoverfull]

You're making an awful lot of assumptions. I write music myself, and understand the value of musical arrangement, but the fact is that what we saw in Picard is not only plausible, but occurs quite frequently among people who are intuitive with their band mates, and are competent with their instruments. You don't have to accept the reality for it to be true, but it would make the conversation more amicable. At the very least, you might stop with the insinuations that I don't care about rehearsals and scores, since it's bullshit and utterly fucking unnecessary. Who the fuck gets mad at someone for experiencing something they haven't? Goddamn, unclench.

Just my two bits on that one, though.

since you evidently don’t understand that what you heard was *written* and not impromptu your competence is quite questionable.

And funny you accuse me of “getting mad at you” with that kind of language.

 

[jackoverfull]

Are his replicated cigars inflammable?

I wonder: is it legal to smoke indoors in LA? I know he didn’t actually light the cigar, but when he almost did it I was like “what are you doing”?!

To clarify, there are still a few (rare) venues where it’s possible to smoke indoors over here, but you wouldn’t expect it at a high-class party such as this.

Ugh.

Probably not.

 

[Warped1]

Probably not.

Security comes over and grabs the cigar and box of matches...
"Hey, buddy this isn't rocket science, okay?!"

 

[Warped1]

I wonder what Q's son is up to "these days". Of course, for all we know tens of thousands of years could have passed for them since we last saw him in Voyager.

He was imprisoned in the past in the center of the galaxy.

I was talking about earlier, on the Star gazer, he had an unlit cigar in his mouth the whole time.

I had a teacher at high school who had a stick painted to look like a cigarette that he would use to trick his oral compulsion.

His hands were never reaching for another cigarette so long as he could feel a fag in his mouth.

I'm suggesting in the future that replicated cigars can not be smoked, so Rios has never smoked before, and he's a cigar virgin, who has been thrust into the face of opportunity.

 

[Warped1]

He was imprisoned in the past in the center of the galaxy.

Oh man, I hate it when that happens!

 

[Amaris]

He was imprisoned in the past in the center of the galaxy.

So we agree then that Q's son is George Murdock.

The shuttle is the one breaking away from the iss in the Enterprise open credits a Venture Star derivitive.

And.. SERVO!

 

[NCC-73515]

The flashbacks have to have some importance to the overall story, why would there be so many of them? There's one where young JL throws a rock at the solarium glass, but then he grabs another rock from a wall afterwards. Did JL accidentally injure someone as a child? Is this one of the big regrets in his life that Q is making him atone for / part of the "penance" theme? who is that weirdo demon in chains?

We also see the fancy key that was shown in a trailer. The chateau seems to have a locked room with some dark secret

TrekCore reviewer says the opening credits theme changed a bit, but I didn't notice it.

Me neither...

Any ideas on why Jurati didn't get completely physically assimilated by the Borg Queen (like the Enterprise crew in First Contact did when they were assimilated)? Is it because the BQ was weak or did she purposefully choose to just enter her mind and let jurati keep her human apperance?

I remember them saying they disabled her nanoprobes when she was in storage at the Disney concert hall facility

Lovely Easter egg with the Barkley ear touch.

Barclay's Betazoid plexing was done below the ear though.

That and the band knew exactly what to do to follow her improvised plan!

It was simply a blues riff in B, they just watched her for the changes and tried to keep up!

Somewhere there's a mass grave with all his failures.

I'd like to see Soong version of the room labeled "1-7"

Picard was hit because he pushed Renee out of the way

Picard's COTEOF moment!

i’m almost sure he lit it in season one. Raffi certainly smokes. He definitely didn’t in this season thought

 

[IMC Headquarters]

Renee Picard standing in front of a Mercury capsule is one of the finest visual portraits ever shot for any Trek series. The promise of the grand future in space travel to come extending a shadow into the past where thin sheets of metal and insulation were all that lie between failure and success, between death on Earth and life among the stars... The history of how we actually got there balanced with the promise of what could be...if only...

I was excited to see original Nomad represented, but that capsule...we were all there.

Healthy vs. Unhealthy?

Healthy vs. Unhealthy?

possibly! It would certainly have raised more eyebrows if the captain smoked on the bridge (and even the unlit cigar wasn’t welcomed by many). Also, in some markets there are stricter rules if you have a character smoking onscreen, so it’s possible they want to avoid it this season.

"Hey, Pat this is your cousin Marvin.... Remember that new sound you've been looking for? Well, take a listen to this!!"

With the anvil of Rios loving 21st century intensitiy (after having been detained and manhandled most of the time, but also Teresa), I almost believe he could stay behind. It's also possible he'll take her and her kid along to the future. In both cases, we already have dropped most pretenses of "don't change the timeline!"

I mean considering the 2024 they're in isn't really the same '2024' that was in their original timeline I'm not sure how things play out. Doesn't it just get erased once the 'future' is repaired and it allows the 'future' to have altered the past which then changes 2024? Star Trek has never really looked at altered timelines via time-travel like say MCU/Loki... It's always been more like being rewritten, although people from a time-line that is to be "re-written" are able to continue to exist if they escape it before it is re-written (like Tasha in Yesterday's Enterprise)

BTW, this Borg Queen stuff is just bonkers. It feels less like a Borg Queen and more like Harvey (The version of Scoripus in Crichton's head in Farscape)

 

[Amasov]

Did anyone catch that the ship Renee talks about, OV-165, appears in the opening title sequence of Enterprise? Is this the ship that Renee is supposed to be flying in? If so, a really sweet touch that makes her part of the history of flight seen in this opening.
