Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x06 - "The Bounty"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Since the series is connecting dots to a variety of non-TNG content, I would say it's still fair game.
Fair game? Sure.
Is this the route, they’re probably going to go? Yup.
Relevant to JLP? Not so much.
I don’t particularly like Raffi and I didn’t like them together. Seven is one of my favorite characters. Given that Seven was more than likely involved with Bjayzul as well, it’s been made pretty clear that she’s bisexual, but I’d actually be a lot more interested in seeing her have a relationship with Liam Shaw than I am in seeing her with another woman. There’s chemistry there and the back story and conflict would make a relationship pretty interesting.
Liam Shaw!? She could do better...
Genesis II also implies it could be an improved version of the device.
If that's the case, then it would imply the technology was continued to be researched at Daystrom and improved upon... just not actually used.
But any subsequent breakthroughs which are derived from it could and would find their way into other starship technology (for example).
Probably because removing protomatter to achieve stability led to smaller effects.
My theory.
My theory.
I wonder if they managed to work out the problems with the protomatter. Also does the device still work on taking existing matter and altering its matrix? The same moral implications as the first device would still arise.
Sure she could but it would be interesting storytelling.
10. My first of the season. The ride is just about over. Why couldn't the first two seasons have been like this? It's amazing how the quality improves when people are put in charge that have some knowledge of the IP and audience they are producing for.
So much fun in this one. The TNG crew back together finally. The Lore fake out (so much more than Lore!). Another nonchalant Vadic "Hi." The classic, non-networked presumably, hero ships just itching for one more shot at saving the galaxy. If they had AI's I can see the Enterprises, Defiant, and Voyager begging to be let loose to have some fun once again. I can also see an Admiral Janeway smirk at her Changeling captors as Voyager comes swooping in, along with the rest of the hero fleet on Frontier Day, with Captain Seven in command. How's that for some fan-wanky shit?
If I'm to criticize anything, but not enough to knock it down a point for me, it would be Geordi. He felt slightly off. Even with his explanations for wanting to protect his daughters. His daughters both joined Starfleet because of him, his adventures, and his fondness for his old crew. Somewhat hypocritical for him to berate Sydney as she rightly pointed out. Also the lack of security at Daystrom Station.

See, you phrased that rather strange though.
You'd prefer seeing her in a relationship with Shaw than in a relationship with another woman?
I agree Raffi wasn't necessarily the best example, and not exactly what I would think Seven might go for, but a different woman might be better overall fit for Seven.
Shaw has a grating personality and thus far I don't think Seven would or should consider a relationship with him. One ample reason being that he's her comanding officer.. and in fairness, I don't think they really perceive each other like that.
So, have Seven be with another (albeit different) woman than Raffi
Its the fundamental principle of a baseline replicator. There's nothing morally ambiguous in that.
24th century replicators can convert energy into matter and back again. They can also rearrange pre-existing matter into something else.
The main issue with the genesis device was that it could be used as a weapon if deployed on an already living planet. The original idea was to use it on an uninhabitated/virtually dead planet - and the original Genesis device was deployed inside the Mutara nebula.
It's possible any inherent instabilities were the result of the environment in which the device was deployed and what it created.
It wasn't even used the way it was intended... so we don't know if the issues which arose on Genesis planet were the result of using Proto matter, or it was a result of using nebula matter (which wouldn't necessarily be enough to create a fully stable planet).
Proto matter usage wasn't so much a problem, as it was the fact it was unpredictable if I'm not mistaken and difficult to control.
That could have also contributed to the Genesis planet being unstable, but lets face it, the issues could have arose due to something different entirely that wasn't mentioned in the movie.
Maybe, but I don't see it.
I mean McCoy's whole point was that if this fell into the wrong hands, it could be used to alter all life on an already inhabited planet. The chance for the technology to be misused would always be there.
As for the proto-matter, David seemed pretty adamant that it was the proto-matter at fault for the instability of Genesis. I would think he factored in the circumstances of the planet's creation into his assessment. But as you say, Genesis was not deployed in the manner intended.
Of course they did. Starfleet Intelligence, Starlfeet itself etc all knew about it and would just keep the lower officers fairly ignorant of it. It's why various records were missing, obfuscated etc.
It's a bit like most Western Militaries do not state where they have special forces or intelligence assets deployed. It'd be stupid to do so, and no matter how much screaming from frontiersman goes about you quietly ignore them on the basis their work does more harm than good.
In theory.
Commodore Decker from The Doomsday Machine.
Twas a poor attempt at a joke. Best to let it be now...
But they are relevant to Bajor, which is relevant to Picard. Not as much as Sisko but there is a connection. However slender.
My children do this all the time with me. Having kids makes you blind.
At the very least, bringing news of Ro‘s death to her Bajoran family personally feels like sufficient reason to visit Bajor and DS9
