    Obligatory first post, all ready for all the butthurt that would come out of the woodwork when the episode is released...

    To him it's all a joke. He knows he's getting out.

    I wonder if we'll get an homage to this:

    This looks really good.I'm looking forward to see how Picard and Guinan get away from the FBI. And what Q has been up to. And Rafi and Seven trying to stop Agnes from whatever scheme she's doing due to the influence of the Borg Queen.

    You assume they end up "getting away" from the FBI.

    There's a chance Picard end up going along with whatever "Wells" has in store for them.

    I agree. He's an excellent negotiator. If there's anyone who can work out a deal or whatever else is needed, it's Jean-Luc. I have full confidence in his abilities. :adore:

    I'm just glad they got Jay Karnes to portray Agent Wells.
    So many call-backs to ST: Voyager & the USS Relativity by having the actor who played Agent Ducane of the Wells-class Ship the USS Relativity be reused again all these years later.

    The confrontation between the Queen and Seven is what I'm looking forward to most. Annie's alluded to some juicy material with Seven for a while now.

    Carbon Creek maybe? Considering the Vulcans in the trailer.

    ‪‪Cool! I’ve been thinking an encounter with Mestral inspired Agent Wells to go Fox Mulder and make his own X-Files type life choices to chase UFOs since last week’s episode dropped, and only more so with the trailer and preview clip.

    Very excited for this episode!

    If that happens, it'd be nice to see that Wells' mentor would be that son of the woman Mestral befriended....

    And in a full circle, It turns out one of Wells' descendants would turn out to be Archer himself. Maybe it'd explain why his father wasn't so peeved at the Vulcans like Archer was...

    Precious Cargo. Padma Lakshmi will turn out to be the Borg Queen from episode 1.

    It's got to be, right? Might as well rewatch it..

    I totally forgot about this scene in CC where Jolene Blalock is silhouetted against a sheet while she's changing. Keep it classy, Enterprise :rolleyes:

    lol come on it's in line with the ship's onboard sauna and antibacterial body gel that must be applied very slowly and methodically.
