Me, reading this thread and seeing fans whine about “too much fan service:”

FFS people, allow yourselves some child like joy….just for a minute or two!!
;) :beer:
 
Vadic killed the two security officers, so they were not changelings. But if they were real Starfleet officers, then Starfleet torturing and threatening to kill prisoners is normal procedure now?
She had a changeling killed right there in this episode

Is anyone else concerned that Riker just starts blasting away at what could be real Starfleet security officers?
Why would he not defend everyone? Has Riker never, you know, fired back? :D
 
could be set to stun lol.

Did anyone notice that either Worf or Raffi's phaser shoots beams not pew pew like Riker? I wonder why.
Stun shots in the new shows are blue IIRC. But I could be mistaken

Worf has a Nemesis hand phaser, that’s why his shoots beams. It’s not the same model as Riker’s or the rest of Starfleet. Raffi’s phaser is firing bolts like Riker’s.

Hope so! Looks like he hits four people...and we can tell from what Vadic does next that not all of the security officers are changelings.
It took the highest stun setting (3.5) to have any kind of effect on the changelings of DS9, and these are apparently more advanced in just about every way.
 
Wouldn't Kirk's family (we know at least he had a nephew although we don't know if said nephew had kids to last till the late 24th century) and Picard himself have legal rights to their own corpses and thus Starfleet illegally appropriated them?
 
We're assuming Kirk's family even knows about this and that his official death isn't still listed as 2293 aboard the maiden flight of the Enterprise-B. For all we know Kirk has been dead in the history books for over a century and retrieving his body was never officially reported outside the most need-to-know intelligence and Daystrom circles.
 
Is it me or does the changeling plan not really make sense?

They infiltrated Starfleet and can infiltrate Daystrom personnel so can have any cover reason for moving Picard's body to another location. Why did they need to stage a theft of the portal weapon and have that first attack?

They could have just moved Picard's body and not been discovered instead of having the portal weapon attack to hide that they stole Picard's body. Either way, the theft of Picard's body still stayed a secret. I don't see how them planning that portal attack had any impact on them taking Picard's body and keeping that theft hidden.

Also, if the changelings hate the federation so much why did they use the portal weapon on a non federation world?
 
I believe Ro had not told Worf that Starfleet had been infiltrated. Why not if she trusted him? Why did she deny him trying to go to Daystrom to determine what was stolen? Why not tell him why he couldnt go? What was she going to have Worf and Raffi do then had she lived?
 
Data shooting holograms out of his eyes like he's R2-D2.. pain..

He also has the map to Luke Skywalker...

I have a feeling they’re all going to merge before the end of the series and become a new character. Not Data, but a sum of Soong’s legacy
It absolutely had a reason, it was a clue for the characters.

I think Data is going to 'die' again before the end of the season. But not like actually die, I think all of the personalities are going to merge together and create a new one.

Let's call this new being Questor.

Gene's Vision™ is in Daystrom Station somewhere. Just waiting. Hoping to be unleashed.
Why did you open those cargo bay doors!?

Very Armada 2-esque
More like Armada 1.
Imagine if this had been Season 1 instead of Season 3.
10
It would have set expectations too high and lead to eventual disappointment with seasons 2 and 3.

Overall I rate this episode a 7/10. Definitely not as strong as last week's episode. Some nice nostalgia tempered by somewhat mundane plot stuff. Moriarty was a bust. It was nice to see Geordi again, but he's become a too much of a TV dad. Why would the Changelings take Picard's body when they could have taken something more destructive, like another Genesis device. Why is Kirk's body in a lab? Shouldn't he have been retrieved from Veridian III and buried on Earth? I wonder if a vial of Khan's "super-blood" is stored somewhere on this station too.
