The artificial heart could have been used to give Jean-Luc temporary brief fits of speed or strength that could have useful in getting him out of any number of rough spots earlier on in his career, but that still meant that he had to hack his own heart and turn off the safeties.
I liked it. Big missed opportunity though, I wish Jason actually was his child.
assuming it is even possible to control his heart remotely. Modern-day peacemakers are wireless, but you need to be a few meters from them to connect with them.
I think I saw a Bones 10 years ago where killer was hacking pacemakers that were feeding back telemetry to a host. If you're paying for a contract on your phone, that's unlimited mobile data that the heart can connect to with blue tooth.

Point is if you gave Locutus a heart attack or stroke, then you've given the entire collective, or at least the one cube that he was overseeing, a heart attack or stroke.

Well, of course. But have you seen gas prices lately? That private jet isn't going to fuel itself, you know.
I of course exaggerate for comedic effect.It's actually a good gig (with the occasional major headache, just like any job), with some great co-workers. But it's also volunteer, so I'm on my own for champagne and bon-bons...
You should try modding in an MLB of NFL chatroom. I did those for a couple seasons...no more.
I've got to say, James Callis looking a lot like Bashir (not his fault) and wearing what looks almost like a 2370s-style uniform (with the most minor differences), is kind of weird. Especially the Starfleet Uniform since Starfleet doesn't seem like the type of thing Picard's father would've joined. Unless he had a really bad experience and was trying to discourage his son from joining.
Though, it should also be noted that James Callis is a lot smaller than Alexander Siddig. And Picard's father seemed like a short guy. So there you go.
But I'm amused at the thought of Baltar as Picard's father. And Jurati walking around in a red dress, looking kind of like Caprica Six really adds to the BSG kick. And having The Borg Queen inside Jurati's head does make for a nice twist. I really like the Borg Queen in PIC. I liked her in FC and VOY as well, but she really pops here with the extended focus.

not everything you see on tv makes sense.
as you say, you need to have a data modem, either in the device or connected to it, and associated contract. And even so, it remains to be seen if parameters can be changed remotely (I would hope not!).
when he was disconnected the collective continued just fine…
I've been predicting this ever since his ominous my-line-ends-with-me speech in episode 1. I really, really hope they won't go there; I think this trope would finally make me stop watching.
I'll have to check that. I couldn't find the s2 spoilers.
They also say Q will be back in s3.

When he went to sleep, they went to sleep.
If his blood pressure increased by a factor of 15, their blood pressure increased by a factor of 15.
Scanners.
But what if Locutus was not there to direct the battle because Riker killed him?
Remember the Harkonnen heart plugs from Dune?
Although Alexander Siddig is balding a bit, while James Callis still has the hairline of a 22-year old, which would suggest the other way in terms of casting.

I really liked the Sam Neill series. For awhile NBC were making some amazing miniseries. That one and the Gulliver's Travels with Ted Danson come to mind.
For just a second I was also thinking Bashir.
As someone who lived with a bluetooth enabled ICD (internal cadiodefibrulator) and therefore is as much as cyborg as anyone, I can tell you this is not possible. The device sends only. It does not receive, and there is one specific module that can receive from it. You can communicate back and forth with that receiver, but not with the ICD itself. It makes for an interesting plot, but no, not possible. Believe me, it was something I researched before I had it done.
Here’s their article on season 2 from back then: https://www.theilluminerdi.com/2021/04/20/picard-characters-time-travel/
Their speculations are somewhat off, but the character sheets themselves that they quote are accurate (except for the names of course but then the names on those sheets are almost never the actual final names of the characters).
The Q in season 3 thing became news because de Lancie said during season 2 that they were shooting scenes for season 3 alongside season 2 scenes (presumably to save some money). That led to a lot of people thinking that Q will appear in season 3 as well although de Lancie has apparently said by now that he won’t. There was a different interview with him a little while ago where he declined ANY comment on season 3, so I don’t know what to think anymore.
why? If this is indeed the last we see of Picard I’d love to see him retire with a family instead of being alone.
Checking the Illuminerdi website now and in late 2020 they posted the SNW character names and descriptions that turned out to be 100 percent accurate. Only the names of Uhura/ M'Benga / Nurse Chapel were not used but the character descriptions still match. La'an and Ortegas are there.
Looking for Picard spoilers now LOL

According to the PIC writers, he “gets closure” at the end. According to Sir Patrick, the series ends “with a question mark over Picard’s head”. So, I guess there is more than one way to interpret things.
However, given the way PIC is set up and has been set up, “happy ending with a family ride into the sunset” doesn’t seem to be the show’s style. And if they really bring in a son and go down the David Marcus road like the TOS movies did, said son probably won’t be there for too long. It wouldn’t surprise me.
Eh, I dunno. we will see when "Picard's son" is cast. If it's someone who is somewhat known, there might be incredible pressure from Paramount to keep him alive for a future spinoff series.
If Q is so important to Jean-Luc's life, I really hope he is in Season 3. At least to say goodbye to him. If that doesn't happen in Season 2, of course...
Yeah, true. That is also a possibility. This would also enable cameos from Sir Patrick, this way he wouldn’t have to do a whole show as the lead character again. On the other hand, PIC was always intended as a three season arc, nothing more, so it might be a ‘closed’ story after all. Who knows.
