Did anyone notice something unusual...La forges hair style is different 43 minutes exactly into episode, compared to it all the way up until that point..new hair day...or something else....
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x05 - "Imposters"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I concur. Down in MD/VA the bay confounds everything. We talk about the Eastern Shore of the bay and the Coast or Atlantic Coast. Not sure about NC to Georgia, but Florida has the Gulf Coast, The Atlantic Coast, and the biggest piece of trash Governor.
I'm gonna speculate that the new hair came after they shut down production for covid for a week or so last January.
Jörg Hillebrand had a take that LaForge changed her hair because she didn’t want to look like her duplicate’s corpse.
That reasoning works for me

Late to the party. Very good episode; the only things which really took me out were the absurdly slow bomb and the unlikelihood that Picard would have no idea of Ro's status (both no doubt discussed and headcannoned, but they didn't work for me). Still no idea where the Jack thing is going; it'll be a tricky one to land.
It didn't happen often, but pretty sure Odo got knocked unconcious or passed out a couple of times without reverting.
Beverly wasn't wrong. The writers of Picard were wrong. It happens. It's annoying, but there it is. The changelings didn't have a magical, never-referenced ability to trick sensors. They simply had the one ability that the show DID discuss at great length, a skill they were very, very good at. The ability to mimic things. They become the object they're morphing into. Not just "on the skin", all the way through.
It's also was an easily-avoidable error. They could simply have said what I suggested, "Oh, after the war, we knew more about changelings and figured how to detect them thanks to [tech babble tech babble.] But these new ones avoid even our more advanced methods." Period. Done. No gaffes or goofs necessary.

Yup. "Mid-Atlantic" was never below Delaware. VA, DC, etc. are "the South."
YATI. Not just for Jainism any more.
Regarding Picard not being aware of Ro's reinstatement...
She did say Starfleet Intelligence brought her back. Maybe they simply never reported to Picard that they did, either because it wasn't necessary or they didn't report to him. Or both.
Regarding Changelings and organs...
Obviously if a tricorder can register someone as human, Klingon, Trill, etc., it means that it detects the organs inside them to make that determination. How else do you think McCoy was able to tell Darvin was a Klingon agent in "THE TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES"? Tricorders would certainly be even more advanced after a century. (Never mind the fact Odo and Bashir's dialogue from "THE ADVERSARY" have already been quoted.)

You know, I used to think that way, but other posters in this thread have convinced me that, unless he explicitly uses the word "organs", Bashir only scans people up to the epidermis and no deeper as a matter of course.
"Close" only counts in horse shoes, hand grenades and H-bombs.
Funny story: I actually have had to explain that phrase to my wife... multiple times in our marriage. She thought it didn't make sense when I said, "Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades."
The horseshoes aspect is the part she always gets hung up about.
Not a big fan of horseshoes I see...someone needs to get out moreFunny story: I actually have had to explain that phrase to my wife... multiple times in our marriage. She thought it didn't make sense when I said, "Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades."

Sovereign class ships are likely obsolete during PICARD's time. That class is almost 30 years old.

Being the phrase guy that I am, it's been sort of my duty to explain older phrases. In turn, she informs me of some of the new lingo that is circulating in internetland.
Honestly, I am a bit stuck in the past because a lot of the newer catchphrases and phrases just make no sense.
We saw several in Season 2, and one in S3E1.
