Spoilers Season 3 wild speculation
- Thread starter Dr Helen Noel

That too. Looking back really quick, when Deanna is on the shrike with him and when she's alone, she's on the shrike bridge also. They probably have her tied up too.
Anyone else thinking Jack's vision coming from the Prophets?
I also remember reading a rumor (or was it even a spoiler?) that the Sisko returns during this season

While I would LOVE to see a Sisko return, even as a cameo, I equally HIGHLY doubt that Mr. Brooks would go there.
Iirc it was probably from someone who had seen the first five or six episodes.
I would be completely surprised if he returns.
Nope. Just a rumour, not from anyone who saw the show.I also remember reading a rumor (or was it even a spoiler?) that the Sisko returns during this season
Avery Brooks is done with Star Trek and acting. He didn't even want to appear in the Documentary.
If there's a DS9 cameo, then I think we have to assume it's either Kira, Quark, or Bashir.
I went back and found the Rolling Stone review. The reviewer says episode 5 has a recurring character from 90s Trek that makes Picard confront and face a decision he made and that that character made back on TNG. I doubt that's Moriarty since they would just say it's him. So there's also that to wonder about.

Tng didn't have a lot of recurring characters did it..
Q...can't be him.
Barclay. Think this is unlikely.
Ro...maybe
Lwaxana...very unlikely. They'd have to recast for one thing
O'brien...very possible given the ds9 link
But I think most likely Guinan, again.
There’s also TrekCore review of the first six episodes that said that there was only one unannounced legacy character in the first 6 episodes, but followed up with “maybe 2 (characters), or is it 3 or 4…”
The “one” they speak of is presumably the same “recurring 90s character” in episode 5 from the Rolling Stone review. But I wonder what the rest means. I presumed it to mean Lore wasn’t just Lore. And/or it’s a reference to returning starships if we get as far as the fleet museum in the first 6 episodes. You could consider Voyager and the Enterprise-A as characters.
Finally, I’m sure RMB said one of the returning actors is someone who he never expected to see in Star Trek again.

That is so clearly Ro Laran I'll be shocked if it's anyone else.
I think I might've cracked Vadic's motivation. Maybe, maybe not, either way, here's what I've got. Posting this here so, if this actually turns out to be the case, I can say I called it. Are you ready? Here we go:
I think Vadic is someone who supported the Dominion. She was probably hoping they'd take out or co-opt all four major Alpha Quadrant powers, and she could do business with the Dominion who'd let her do her thing and give her added muscle. She'll help anything pushes back against the way things ended up, including supporting the Changelings who broke off. And it probably took them a quarter of a century to get up to the point where they can finally now go on the offensive against the Federation. So they've spent years preparing for this and setting thing up on multiple fronts underneath everyone's noses to pull it off.
Vadic as a bounty hunter as worked her way up and that ship of hers is probably tailor-made, designed by whoever the rouge Changelings could form an alliance with who had the technical know-how to put it together.

RMB has said Eps 1-4, 5-8 and 9-10 are three distinct acts. I have a feeling Lore might be the cliffhanger sting in ep 4 (when Worf and Raffi get to daystrom) and he finally appears in ep 5 to kickstart the next act.
Riker is a changeling. I thought this was far fetched at first but now am starting to come around to the idea after an analysis on Reddit showed Riker in different uniform suddenly with Raffi and Worf in trailers and promotional shots etc. There's another trailer out there that shows Troi chewing into Riker for running halfway across the galaxy the moment Picard called which would seem to indicate Riker isn't a changeling. However, if Riker did indeed go to Earth from Nepenthe, and then got captured and replaced, it would work, and this trailer might've been released as misdirection when it's really Troi chewing Riker out after freeing him from changeling jail.
Hm, I'm not sure, as that would be a very specific spoiler for the episode
Interesting that Episode 4 is still Act I. To me it looked like Episode 3 was the end of Act I. Usually the transition from Act I to Act II in a film is that the Inciting Incident causes what's "normal" to be disrupted. So it'll be interesting to see what happens in Episode 4 that turns everything upside down heading into the beginning of Episodes 5.
Then again, it makes a little bit more sense now why Episode 6 is considered to be a cliffhanger. If it's the middle of Act II, that's where they'd have the Point of No Return where the characters are locked into their situation with no way to back out.
Matalas said last night on Twitter that
He could be misdirecting but it didn’t feel like it.
Fair enough. I just didn’t feel like they’d be coy about someone everyone knows is in it, but could be.
Riker isn’t a changeling. He’s just mad at Picard about not caring about his son while he lost his and now realizing he’s about to lose Deanna and their daughter too if something happens to him.

None of the emotional scenes work or the central dilemma nor the flashback if it's not Riker. I cannot see either PS or JF signing off on that.
This show is always what they sign post to us fairly laboriously.
We will see a fake Riker later I bet as the changelings replace him and Picard at frontier day.

Riker may not be a changeling...
I think we've already gotten our DS9 connection, but I would like to see a cameo by any of those characters.
Worf & Raffi tracking down Quark for info might work the best.
