Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x10 - "Farewell"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Was anyone else bummed when the writing credits popped up? My assumptions were based on glancing at a few posts here admittedly, but I thought Matalas was returning to pen the finale? 
The quality started nosediving when Matalas's name vanished from the writing credits. If he's all on S3, it might be enough to hold out some hope for a solid final outing.

It really does seem like he abandoned this season to work on the third one after setting up the initial scenario.
Lol. Yup.
I tensed up a little when Tallinn walked up behind Renee Picard. My mind started thinking, "What's going to happen now?!"
Soong is doing a great job playing up Major Asshole. Though he probably really is one, it helped to get rid of that lady. And before, "Aren't my donations enough give me facetime?" This is why money is one of the roots of evil.

You mean...the geneticist with the same last name as Khan could be related to the genetically engineered man with his last name!?
GASP!
(This is one of those things where I'm not sure what the objection is)
Orla Bradly is 61.
Presumably, she's actually Romulan in real life.
Stewart is 81. Mismatched couple. He belonged with Beverly years ago. Too late for that now.
Haha ! Love the honesty!
It's just business.
Oh, please. Khan is a title on Earth.
Good.
Watching Soong fail right now and having Kore purge everything feels particularly cathartic right now. Along with Soong seeing Renee Picard in space and not getting his way. I'm really, really loving it. Fuck that piece of shit.
A giant butt hole in space threating the quadrant with a giant beam of death?
Oh krutzman
Oh krutzman
Thanks. Yea you're right. I already knew about the microbe climate change before tonight's episode so thought the BQ had said it outright. I think I just put it together from 2.5 where it was stated Renee found a Microbe during her mission and the BQ's statements.
So I guess they've now fully retconned the Eugenics Wars as not taking place in the 1990s? I know the file that Soong pulls out is from 1996, but presumably this means that at the very best the project was only getting started, and that Khan is a child now. It would fit in well with the new timeline Strange New Worlds is suggesting that the second American Civil War in the 21st century morphs into the Eugenics Wars, which later morphs into World War III.
Or Akiva..the guy who actually wrote the episode..Or Matalas, the co-showrunner who actually helped outline the season.
Considering that Queen Jurati appeared in the first episode this season has been a predestination paradox so any changes were probably meant to happen and for ones that weren't Q or Wesley the Traveler probably fixed.
I mean you could read it as the Eugenics Wars actually happened in this setting already.
Presumably in India and outside the USA with US military funding.
Picard saying the bullets in the wall were from his chilhdood is as close to overtly saying, "Everything we did was meant to happen" as you're going to get usually in Star Trek.
I love how they worked Wesley Crusher into this, worked out what he did since becoming a Traveller, and connecting them to The Watchers. That raises a question about why the original Traveller said Humanity wasn't worth reaching out to until recently back in "Where No One Has Gone Before", but maybe he meant reaching out to them publicly.
I like how they did this. And, yeah, makes total sense why Wesley wouldn't be in Season 3.
This is my opening I say I never got the Wesley hate. He wasn't my favorite character, and I didn't identify with him too much, but -- when I was a kid -- I remember envying that he'd be able to be a bridge officer. And, whatever you think of Wesley, Wil Wheaton's a likeable guy. This is a Wesley who's doing what he wants to do in life and not what he thinks he's "supposed to" do. And that has my respect.

Q clearly rewrote the timeline somewhat, since he pulled back the clock by a few seconds, the OG Jurati was gone, Rios was gone, etc.
But it also implied that other TL changes (like RIos staying the past) were always supposed to happen.
I have a headache.
I loved it! I absolutely loved it. I gave it a 10.
I do not care if there are plot holes (are they? whooo cares).
I am a sucker for a Picard - Q hug.
I am a sucker for Borgati.
I am a sucker for Seven on the captain's chair (omg MAKE IT A SPIN-OFF ALREADY).
I am a sucker for watching Wesley.
I am a sucker/shipper for Picard+Loris.
I am a sucker of listening to so many parts from previous series/movies/ soundtracks.
I think you get it
I bloody loved it!
Even if I had to endure some filler/mediocre episodes.
p.s.
Make Seven a starfleet chaptain, she was so natural on that chair!

To blow your mind, its possible that humanity wasn't interesting until Wesley Crusher and then retroactively, Wesley is sending people back in time like Gary 7 who meets people like Kirk before he's born.
