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

[O'Dib]

I don't know if this was meant to be interpreted as such but the designation for the new Data "M510" looked to me as a word someone might read "Messiah" though a 4 at the end instead of 0 would support that hypothesis better.

IMO we can just ignore this tidbit completely and move on.



There was a bit of chemistry there. Does Seven have any cougar in her?



As fast or faster than the Titan going from Daystrom to the Starfleet Museum and back with less than 48 hours until Frontier Day. Star Trek in all its incarnations has been terrible about this. The vastness of space is nothing against the speed of plot.

I can’t see them ignoring one of the only gay relationships they’ve shown.

I only felt older sister vibes.

So true.

 

[Seven of Five]

Oooh, the plot thickens.

Another good episode, if not quite as good as the last two or three. The themes of the family were repeated throughout, my favourite one regarding Seven talking about how she had a family back on Voyager, as they went past it in the ship museum.

Geordi popping up was great to see, as was Worf finally appearing on the Titan.

Is Data/Lore/B4 some kind of android personality disorder? Definitely intrigued by where they might be going with that.

I'm also happy that this episode had nothing to do with the awful ENT episode. Though the appearance of the Bounty from TVH was a fun homage. In fact, the whole scene with the museum was amazing!

It came across as one outsider sharing space with another, to me.

M510 is a reference to 12 Monkeys (and TOS)

A Pah Wraith would make sense if this was Star Trek: Sisko. Not sure how this would be relevant to Jean-Luc Picard.

I don't disagree, but we're already in that territory. I'm 100% sure Terry Matalas probably thought, "Why don't they have the Dominion?!" while he was watching Insurrection and Nemesis. And now he has the power to make it happen.

But maybe it's something like, "Hey! I'm Skull Guy from Image Comics! I'm a Spawn reject!"

Best part was Picard and LaForge realizing their kids were up to hijinks.

Famously, it seemed the behind the scenes was them being told, "What's a Dominion?"

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine making vast sweeping lore changes apparently not having even been noticed.

I'm going to be so let down if they don't at least make out.

Don't ruin it for me...

Imagine if the original M5 was the earliest version of Data.

If he dies, they'll make out 15 minutes before he dies, but that's it.

Star Trek: Sisko would make my decade but not with these picard writers...

 

[Noname Given]

The purpose of the cloak being loaned by the Romulans was in exchange for intelligence when the Defiant went to the Gamma Quadrant, which the Federation never went back to once the war started. And since the Treaty of Algeron was still in effect at that time, and dialogue from Geordi seems to indicate it still is, the Romulans would have no reason to do another loan.

Same with O'Brien building a new one... the Treaty of Algeron.

Said agreement also specified the cloak was only to be used wjhen in the Gamma quadrant, but, o quote Sisko himself: "I won't tell them if you dont..." and "I knew I forgot something..."

 

[Cox of Seagulls]

Harry is most likely a commander or captain by now.

It would be hilarious if he turns up this season and he's still somehow an ensign.

 

[Enterpriserules]

We talked a lot about the Pah Wraith idea on The Artificial Tango and it is something I've not completely given up on, but with them stealing the body of JL, I am not sure what they would need that for. It is kinda nice that this is not easy to figure out yet!

 

[The_Baroness]

It needs to have .jpg at the end. If you right click the picture and select copy image location, that address should work.

Cheers, that worked. And now everyone can see how much I need to dust.

 

[JoseNoodles]

I’d actually love that and I wish they had.

There's still enough time for it to actually happen.

Couple/Three questions?
1. Where is Lore's body
2. (Unlike Picards) It's the new Positronic Synth immortal?
3. At the Spacedock museum, with all of the iconic ships on display outside - What treats are inside?
