So many lovely moments! I'm very happy with the season so far. Especially loved Jack and the LaForge sisters getting into a bit of trouble.

"I would never steal..."
"Jack"
"Sidney"
What make Jean-Luc Picard body considered a Nuke tech by the Changeling? Is it because Jack's ability to detect Changeling? They want to study the body and understand the flaw in their shapeshifting ability? And if they want to steal a retired admiral body, then why do they even bothered to use terrorism? But, if they have already have possessed Jeanluc body, why they still need Jack? To clear their trace entirely so their seat in Federation is saved?
I start to think that these Changeling actually have won a shadow war against the Federation. They have ruled the Federation from behind the curtain. The problem is Jack develop an ability to detect them. So they think that Jack is a danger of their existence, thus want to eliminate Jack with whatever they have. Jean-luc Picard's body is only a side way to study the source of Jack's supranatural power. But Jean-Luc body is not their ultimate target. Their target is Jack, just because Jack can detect them,
I think Picard season 3 is basically Jean-Luc Picard, a retired Admiral, jump into the biggest conspiracy in Federation politic without knowing, just because a personal distress call from his ex-lover. And I think that Section 31 is basically so weak to an extend that they don't even have the power to protect their spies from conducting a counter intelligence action against the enemy of Federation.
With Ro Loren's investigation material, Section 31 should have already have a strong evident of a threat inside Starfleet. They should already have muster their power and influence to conduct a counter intelligent actions to protect Federation from Changeling threat. The failure of Ro Loren to gather support means that Section 31 don't act as an organization. Or Section 31 is already compromised.

Funny that Kirk literally appears as Bones.

Here's the important part: He was "officially injured", not killed (then body recovered by phoenix...)
obviously for those who haven't seen farpoint or don't remember it well
He's the snow cone in Phoenix!Now I'm just imagining that he's Voldemort from the first Harry Potter film!
Is there a reason why Daystrom which is focused on researching technology would have human remains or why Picard didn't take an interest in what happened to his own human remains?
S31 probably took them without him knowing.
Keep watching to find out.
Dave Blass said there was an unused Rick Sternbach design in this season, I wonder if he meant the Cloaking Device. While it did appear in that book, it's possible he meant in the show. I'll have to ask.
Tune next time to find out. Same Trek time. Same Trek channel.
And even if they don't show it on screen, one can assume that it got a refit at some point after Pike handed it off to Kirk, and the actual refit occurred off screen. Kind of like ST:TMP.

I'm just chalking it all up to time travel shenanigans. Somewhere out there someone's having whacky adventures, and changes something so one week the Connies look like SNW, other times TOS.
Alandra’s reaction to Jack is classic sibling-totally-can’t-with-her-sister’s-crush.
Her eye rolls, “let’s reset our phasers.”
Well written and well acted.

I'd prefer Agnes never come to the rescue, ever. My favorite part of this season is Shaw alluding to the REAL Borg which I hope eventually restores all the previous plot mistakes that shows have made.
Both types of Borg exist.
What difference does that make?
Well you see, one involves magical science beyond our understanding. The other involves magical science beyond our understanding.
I trust you see the difference.
How would it do that???
For the complaints about the lack of urgency (and I’d say it’s partly deserved), there is a mitigating factor not always present—simultaneity. While we, as viewers, cut back and forth from the museum to the station, much of what happens at each place overlaps, thus making things appear slower than they are. Only a partial mitigation but worth noting.
