It makes sense in character since the holo is based on Elnor and his weapon of choice was the katana. The holo picked the weapon that the character, it was based on, would have picked.

Borg adapt to phasers real fast. Swords less so, obviously.
The slow blade penetrates the shield.
It's part of why the 2373 drones aboard the Enterprise-E fell victim to holographic machine gun bullets. They were - to the Borg - solid objects they didn't have enough time to adapt to.
Well, the Confederation timeline version of her, anyway. Like V'ger, that version will be sitting at the heart of the new Borg ship we saw in the first episode.
Agree. I think she and the kid are headed for the 25th Century.
I was going to bring this up in another post, but this one'll work too. This is a plot hole, albeit a minor one. While we don't know that Confederation Picard was ever assimilated by the Borg, there's no evidence that he wasn't, either. If he wasn't, the Queen Juratti's departure means the door has closed on this one and we have something that can no longer be explained.
And the part that'll really bake your noodle: if we are still pre timeline-split, will a jaunt into the tunnels below Chateau Picard in the 25th Century suddenly reveal borgified humans transported into the walls?
We know Picard talked about his childhood with Jurati in the 5th episode. Is it so surprising to think he might have mentioned the "look up" line to her?
He also used it in a speech in the premiere so it's possible he's used that line in speeches throughout the years and Jurati heard it. Or the Queen was just warning Picard to look up because something was about to fall on his head haha .
Um...if you go through the spatial rupture which the Borg came from, you will find their remains, yes. But they won't be present in the regular timeline. I think.
So there is a universe where Borg have become rebar.
Thank you. I do understand Rios a bit, though- that doctor is hotter than supernova.
Thank you. YET ANOTHER example of a high ranking, highly trained Starfleet Officer taking time out in the middle of a critical moment to express her feelings like some sort of misfit 25th Century millennial. Totally unprofessional, totally unbelievable, yet this has become a common trope in nu-Trek. The universe is at stake, but let's pause here a moment while we're under fire so I can explore my feels.
Gotta love the writing this season. One hand-wavy, illogical, nonsensical plot point after another.
This is now by biggest fear looking toward S3. I'd like to see a clean end to this mess.
This makes sense on the one hand. On the other, it destroys the entire premise that the Confederation timeline was not an alternate timeline, but an altered Prime timeline. If it is the latter, than the two cannot simultaneously exist- it's either one or the other. So once again, the writers may have written themselves into a bit of a corner here. Unless we just abandon the idea that we've only been dealing with one timeline all along.
I hate temporal mechanics.

Yes, to show them what has been "lost in the wake of [their] fear". And they still haven't connected the dots.
Like I said, a very minor plot hole. You just offered a suitable explanation off the cuff.
Maybe she meant Renée and René, Picards nephew who ultimately dies in a fire...?This makes sense on the one hand.

I'll rate this show an 8. I was really suprized about the unexpected twists and turns the show took with the characters stories.I liked how Agnes fought against total assimilation from the Borg Queen and having an Elnor hologram fighting the borg.I want to see how Adam Soong will be stopped and And Q will be up to.And if Kore will return and the Europa mission too.
That was my takeaway and what I hope she meant.
I was so hoping that we wouldn't spend the whole season in the past ... but here we are, only one episode left. And it will end just like most people suspected by the end of first or second episode. It was Picard not trusting the Borg in episode one and the self destruction of the fleet that threw them back in time. And when he's back in the final episode, he will trust the Borg and make peace with them. And they will live happily ever after ...
When will we finally get a proper series about Star Fleet in 2401?

Has anyone pointed out that Raffi's guilt still makes no sense? Elnor being one of the few to make the jump to the Confed timeline to die isn't because he was in Starfleet. Otherwise the whole squadron would have retained their memories in the new timeline. Elnor literally made the jump for the real reason that he was a regular on Picard tv show season 1, and in-universe it's just handwaved as Q's random choice of who Picard gets to have come with him to see the evil future. That's it. In-universe, Elnor might very well have moved to Vashti and still got shifted to the Confed timeline and got killed anyway.
