Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x06 - "Two of One"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Last season, Soji commented that she had never had a real tomato, only replicated ones. If all tomatoes are replicated, then why not tobacco as well?
Surely the rudimentary emh on the ship would be better than a 21st century doctor, especially on a synthetic body? But then I guess we wouldn't get another episode that's like Extreme Measures...
You can bet with your last pair of underwear that the doc is at least going to go to the ship. Lily did, that girl from Stormfront did, the proto-Vulcan did...

It could still happen. Sarah Silverman would likely jump at the chance to be in another Star Trek episode.So did Gillian Taylor.
However, Rain Robinson didn't...
Gary Seven knew what a Vulcan was.
Tom Paris in "Ex Post Facto(VOY)" says that humans haven't smoked tobacco products in centuries so if Rios' cigars are synthetic then those kinds of products could be to fill the void of no more tobacco or nicotine stimulants on Earth.
Shaun Christopher wasn’t in assignment earth.
We don’t know the ship has an EMH. It’s confederation La Sirena not Prime La Sirena.
Well Picard does grow his own grapes... regarding that, why can't Rios just grow his own tobacco? Are people in Trek so coddled by replicators that they don't know how to put a seed in the ground? Or are seeds and condiments like sugar extinct?
Yes, well, Picard is a notorious wine snob.
Rios says she's a hero where he comes from, and she's not exactly going places beyond helping the needy, so the 25th century would be ideal for her and her evolved sensibilities.So did Gillian Taylor.
However, Rain Robinson didn't...
We know from Ready Room interviews that the episodes are scripted individually and that each director is given a block of two episodes to shoot. They don't just have a 10 hour script to film as one big whole and then chop into bits, no.
I know. But that's not what the other guy was talking about. He implied that each episode had hours of material to be chopped down to episode length, which is not how it works.
Elnor's death was never Picard's fault to begin with and she knows that, she was just lashing out.
That's what we'd all figured all along, wasn't it?
We don't know that the Confederation's La Sirena has an EMH, and I'm not sure the ship is fully repaired anyway. What we did need, though, was a scene showing that they had tried and failed to get hold of Jurati, because not having her medical skills available to operate the biobed and equipment on La Sirena is the reason they went to the clinic instead, but that wasn't made clear until they got there. In the scene on the ground after Picard's accident, they seemed to already know that Jurati was AWOL, which shouldn't have been the case. A connecting scene would have made it clearer that the clinic was a last resort. The synthetic body seems to be able to pass as human - apart from fritzing the equipment!
Bit of a middling filler episode this. Missed doing done DS9 Badda Bing type music scores, the crisis of not having an EMH (and I’m sure Picard would love to do it), plus I am so hoping that Soong has a son somewhere called Khan and that gets retrofitted in. I’ve still got no clue as to why Q has lost his powers, This is great stuff. 
When Q lost his powers in Deja Q he was still an absolute genius and retained a lot of knowledge. So he’d easily be able to hack stuff etc and if he can do that I’m sure he can create some currency.
Where did he say this?
I would agree, and in fact expand that to say that even when it comes to money, shortsightedness will hurt in the long run. I do not really care about quarterly profits in my company when I am focused on decades and generations. Many people forget that you have to spend money to make money, and sometimes that means booking a loss for long term gains.
However to be fair, I do not have, say, a teachers union investment fund, representing thousands of teachers who all depend on the company regularly throwing of dividends to fund their lives, as many stock exchange traded companies do. Which makes the lives of those companies more difficult.

Archer was able to access an atm with only a tricorder...
Did Q lose his powers because the original Jean-Luc was a horcrux of his?
Works for me!
The Continuum hasn't been exactly stable since Voyager's time. It may well be on a path of implosion. Or else it can no longer navigate or function in a three-dimensional universe from lack of resonance.
