Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x06 - "The Bounty"

[cooleddie74]

Kirk makes some sense in-universe. He's one of the greatest legends in Starfleet history and he died after leaving a temporal anomaly to join Picard 78 years after history had recorded him dead. The Department of Temporal Investigations must have had a field day looking over his body after exhuming it on Veridian III.

 

[The Super Brando]

So why is Daystrom keeping the body of Capt Kirk?

They should've buried him in Iowa next to his family.

 

[ToddCam]

Where's Kestra then?

My point exactly. They nabbed Deanna but didn't bother grabbing Kestra? Especially since everybody knows Riker lost one kid already?

 

[cooleddie74]

Probably Temporal Investigations crap that requires the body to be quarantined. 17 separate temporal viola...


make that 18.

Realistically they probably didn't want to get the actress who played Kestra again, and it's possible they'll write it off as Deanna hiding Kestra just before Vadic kidnapped her or something.

 

[NCC-73515]

TrekYards will have a field day with this one

5 h videos about every single ship, including those not shown in full glory.
Plus the one guy asking for more likes 50 times, and the other guy going blrbbMBWBGBlagh.

Where's Kestra then?

They could always have her somewhere else on the ship if they took her. But they'll probably just say she got away while they were taking Deanna or Deanna hid her somewhere.

So why is Daystrom keeping the body of Capt Kirk?

I can only make out some of the writing but I see something called Project Phoenix which means they maybe trying to Resurrect him in some way.

 

[Harpsichord]

Data shooting holograms out of his eyes like he's R2-D2.. pain..

Yeah, won't lie. That was dumb as dirt. But otherwise...solid.

 

[ToddCam]

I can only make out some of the writing but I see something called Project Phoenix which means they maybe trying to Resurrect his Glorious butt (and i would love for Paul Wesley to play him.)

If Kirk's body is linked to his tangential essence in the Nexus, I can see them trying to resurrect him in some crazy scheme. And they could try the same thing with the Picard body.

 

[Tiberius Jim]

Yeah, I mean couldn't he have just done a little twitch and activated a viewscreen somewhere in the room?

 

[NCC-73515]

I'm reading a lot of awards, and then: officially injured while assisting Picard on Veridian III, body recovered by Project Phoenix. Injured - not died?

So I guess Kirk will appear in E10 then

 

[Ronin'sCreamyCandle]

Kirk is coming back? Commanding his old ship? Perhaps that's where the budget went, to Shatner in episode 10. Would be the best kept secret in TV history.

 

[Lord Garth]

So why is Daystrom keeping the body of Capt Kirk?

Hmmm.... Nah. They're not going to do Star Trek: Kirk...

If that's true then that would've been the best kept Secret in this age of Internet leaks.

If Kirk's body is linked to his tangential essence in the Nexus, I can see them trying to resurrect him in some crazy scheme. And they could try the same thing with the Picard body.

Seems a bit nonsensical to keep Picard's body for resurrection when Section 31 can just appropriate Picard's synth body when he "dies" and forcibly reactivate that. Starfleet must have known something dangerous about Picard's original body. But what could that possibly be?

And why would Starfleet want to resurrect Kirk? TOS Kirk who made speeches about the beauty of natural humanity and the evils of artificially trying to control people? That Kirk? He'd probably refuse to do what Starfleet wanted in disgust the minute he was resurrected and realized what happened.

 

[ToddCam]

Would they bother to explain how Kirk aged 30 years more?

 

[cooleddie74]

That's where the awkward CGI Deepfaking comes in and they restore him to the way he looked at the time of his death on Veridian III.
