Yea, that's a fair point and a thought I had while watching. I guess now that Picard is with her she feels safer - rather than Picard telling Starfleet Beverly was in trouble before he got to her.

They also attacked federation ships and interests during DS9.
It seems like Jacks ability to go "Jason Bourne" might be linked to him detecting Changelings nearby.
That could be why they want him.
However Jack's doing it, it's a genuine threat to the Changelings operation.
It's not like JLP accomplished "Insurrection" by himself, he had a team with him.

Could've been from a report from somebody else who was on the same mission

Ehhh...sometimes you just gotta make up your own head canon for small things like this. The Baku incident would have been known and at the end of the movie Picard said he had some leave coming up to be with her. Maybe he spent some time with her on the planet and it was somewhat known they were in a relationship if he took an extended leave there after the incident. Maybe it was just some gossip Shaw heard over the years.
Same as my point about the Devron system events that literally never happened. There's no reason for a random Captain to know these things... unless he was hate-reading up on Picard the same way some Trek fans continue to hate-watch their least favorite shows
The fake security team seemed to be talking to Jack like they expected he'd want to go with them.
Another 10.
It seems that these rogue Changelings have spent so much time acting/hiding as Humans, that they have apparently begun to evolve into them.
I suppose if one holds the same form for overtly extended periods of time, thing start to stick.
It didn't occur to me that Jack might have Borg nanites built into his system from his father, until this episode and he hears Beverly's voice in his head.
I guess he's a brand new kind of Borg and the Changelings want to use him to be their foundation for a new kind of Collective.
A Borg/Changeling King ???

That doesn't mean he holds a grudge, at least not with the maquis. They had border conflicts with the Federation before TNG. Picard probably lost a couple good friends during these days. And he didn't seem to hold a grudge or acted like an ass like O'Brien did in that episode.
The Borg on the other hand....
There's rumor that Jack's connected to the pah wraiths, and the changelings are looking for their own Sisko, so to speak. Doesn't explain why Jack kills the changelings if the supposed pah wraith takes control--like you mentioned, one would think the pah wraith would join them.
Starfleet could make Picard's Q encounters mandatory reading for captains. I think Voyager indicated they did.Same as my point about the Devron system events that literally never happened.

We are forgetting that the Changelings have the ability to force one of their own to take on a permanent solid form with fully functioning organs, as they did to Odo.
Maybe they found a way to parley this ability into their normal ability set, at the same time maybe this ability was always present but was seen as abhorrent by the Changelings or has a big downside, like making them act animalistic when emotional or eventually becoming permanent or something.

Of course it's hypocrisy but it make sense in character. A personal betrayal is a blind spot for Picard.
You can use logic to justify anything...Admiral Janey....or something.
Again, my larger point is not that this season is better or worse (obviously subjective) but that claims that Season 3 is "real Trek" or similar buzz words, and therefore more worthy is superficial at best. That it appeals to many is great and I appreciate how this season is going on, especially in a way that is generating interest. That it is used as a perfection stick to bash past seasons with is less appealing and will go a long way in spoiling the milk, as it were.
Eh, I dunno. Beverly seemed to imply that Jack's had bad dreams since childhood, and I would have to think she would have done a DNA scan of him some time in the last 15+ years.
That would certainly explain the 'flashing red eye' thing.
I don't remember the growing tentacles being a part of them though.
I have to go back and watch the DS9 episodes with them and see if I forgot something.
That's in Jack's head. I don't think Keiko or Jake ever revealed what they saw in their head when they were possessed.
My dislike of the guy and the era leads me to say yes (without evidence)
Yes, but said grudge is for doing what she felt was right and going against Starfleet when Picard has done the same thing many-many times.
Because to him, he was doing the right thing in those cases. Just like Ro felt she was doing the right thing. Picard was personally affected that she rejected HIS mentorship and HIS values.
