I don't know if Vadic is supposed to be the female Changeling or not, but I can totally see the female Changeling being kept at Daystrom and the rogue Changelings wanting to procure her.
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x03 - "Seventeen Seconds"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Here’s a question: Where did Jack’s vision come from? Is he hallucinating because of the gas or because he inherited Picard’s brain abnormality or did he inherit something from Beverly that makes him as attractive to beings like the good Changelings in the Great Link as his half-brother Wesley was to the Traveler? My guess is that the good faction in the Great Link is trying to communicate and stop the terrorists, so Jack hears “Find me” and “Connect the branches.” They never did explain completely just why Wesley was supposedly so special but his mother and great grandmother and generations of Howards were all highly attractive to the shape changing entity who took up residence in that candle. It’s probably in the Howard genes and Jack inherited as much DNA from Beverly as he did from Jean-Luc.
Misdirection?
Power conservation.
Too Orwellian nanny state...and for birth control, no less, which by its nature is strictly optional.
The most common theory is it's the intelligence they are trapped in - see also the conversation with the science officer earlier in the episode.
I disagree. It's not as though the medical personnel are forcing the medications on a person. They are merely carefully monitoring the administration of medications that presumably were prescribed with the consent of the patient. That is a good thing. It means granny can't forget her heart medicine and die, and it should mean you can't forget your birth control and accidentally get pregnant. Presumably, if you want to go off a medication, you just chat with the doctor. But if you have an existing plan to take a medication and are not taking it as prescribed, they should intervene to determine if there is a problem and to come up with a better solution. That can only help patients.
And the powdery remains Riker was holding and studying do sort of resemble the remains of a dead Founder, just less charcoal in color.
I was thinking that if someone made a drama film set in the present day, where a healthy and intelligent mature woman who is a renowned professional in the field of medicine and has already had a child, is totally AMAZED and FLABBERGASTED that she got pregnant after consensual and unprotected sex, I think critics would say, "But whoever made the movie thinks women are stupid?".
And really, I can't even remember a recent movie with a similar plot which isn't a comedy (like Knocked Up)

I find it highly amusing about the whinging of Speelers age as if it matters, or hasn't been done many many times in other shows.
Including Star Trek: Voyager where Kate Mulgrew actually played an older woman. Mulgrew was 39 when she started playing as Janeway. When Janeway's casting notes put her in her mid 40s. I beleive Janeway is 5 years older than Mulgrew is in real life.
Or Aaron Eisenberg. He was 26 when he was cast to play someone ten/eleven years younger than him in Nog for Deep Space 9. Where were your screams then? Your chagrins and wailing "HES TOO OLD"?
So, what? it's fine when it's a woman? Is that what we're going with here? It's fine when it's someone with only one functional kidney limiting their height?
Just so I know the criteria.

Probably doesn’t. The blown to pieces might not be a known reaction to her
Patrick Stewart was 12 years younger than Picard was supposed to be in Season 1.
Ask your doctor if it's right for you.
What? They could do both in the 23rd Century as well. Go over to watch TOS S1 Mudd's Women.
Actually, Janeway's age has never been locked down in on-screen canon other than a birth year of 2344 (in 'Killing Game'), which would've made her an absurdly young 27 as of her assuming command of Voyager and all of 12 years old when Tuvok criticized her in front of 3 starfleet admirals in 2356 (even Kelvin Chekov, assuming he had a 4 year Academy education, would've been 13 when he became a cadet).
Needless to say this year has basically been ignored but it hasn't been contradicted on screen either as far as I know...
That was because of
Rikka suffering from 'Great Link withdrawal', wasn't it?
Speaking of which, the rogue Changeling faction must have a Link of its own, otherwise they'd all be suffering from withdrawal.
And assuming Vadic's crew are also Changelings, why do they have to wear masks like that? Why don't they just use their shapechanging abilities?

"For Moderate to Severe shield impacts..."
It's only fine if the woman in question is playing a character older than her. Case in point: the person I'm using as my profile pic right now. People have been already complaining that Wiseman was visibly too old for them to play a cadet in her twenties back in season 1 of Discovery, and some didn't stop at saying she looked her age of 32 but actually went as far as declaring she looked at least five older than that.
