Spoilers How do you want Picard season 3 to end?

I want it to end without another legacy character death. And if the Titan-A gets destroyed along the way that would be an additional bonus.

 

Geordi dies for no reason, Riker ends the holodeck program and he and Troi exit.

 

Ooh, new one. Shaw transfers command to Seven without deadnaming her, then departs to command the USS Beverly Hills, Cali class. He'll be much happier there.

 

The clear path is to go with a Shaw series. The actor is killing it and deserves his own show.

 

Picard is reduced in rank to Captain for stealing a shuttle, Riker is reduced to Commander, and they get the new Enterprise G. Let's see what she's got.

 

I'm thinking Shaw will get the Enterprise-G with Seven promoted to command of the Titan.

 

Zhaban: Laris, I try to be an open minded husband but even I think that you taking a "break" on me with Picard is a bit... Look, there's no need for it to be the real deal. I'll program something in the holodeck with his likeness under an encrypted access so no one needs to know, and I think that's more than fa--

(Laris vaporizes Zhaban, later tells everyone that the Zhat Vash did it)

 

Shooting the TV antenna?

 

Counterpoint: no

 

I got a feeling that we'll see the Enterprise F continue to serve after this whole ordeal with the conspiracy is wrapped up. Seems too convenient of a setup to just see the F retire without even doing a single mission on tv, and seems to make more sense that it was going to be decom because the antagonists wanted it to happen, instead of the ACTUAL Starfleet. I bet the so called decommissioning celebration we're seeing in the previews is going to be a big fakeout, and in fact we're going to see the Enterprise E actually be the one sent to the museum at the end and the Enterprise F is just doing celebratory maneuvers to celebrate the Enterprise legacy.

 

Indeed. Perhaps a baseball bat would suffice.

 

Plot twist: Zhaban faked his death and works for Section 31 because he was left behind by Picard in S1.

 

I just can't see the Picard we saw chew Ro out last week ever really forgiving Beverly for hiding Jack (he'll be civil and has been, because that's who he is), and the reasons she gave were very flimsy, and easily debunked, in ways I've described multiple times on this board that I won't rehash. Keep in mind that a happy family life was literally Picard's secret Nexus dream, and Beverly took that away from him.

*I* wouldn't go back to Crusher, if I were Picard, after what she did and Beverly Crusher was literally my teenage crush.

 

I was thinking the other way around - Shaw *finally* gets his ship back (or goes down with it), and Seven ends up with a new command.

 

Seven has barely had anything to do for several episodes. They don't know what do do with her, except point and say, "Look, it's 7 of 9!"

 

Fan service is the name of the game. This week was TNG fan service on overload.

 

If they want to do fan service, I really don't see why they don't give Seven a bigger role. She carried Voyager for several years. It really just feels like she has become a stage prop. She doesn't do much if anything, doesn't have much interesting to say. They didn't even care enough about her relationship to give her a break up scene.

 

Allow me to reiterate: TNG fan service.

VOY's fan service goes to Prodigy.

Why would they give a break up scene?
