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

[El Maestro]

That was the best moment in the episode. Good use of the past to inform the present.

But my fellow Trek fan, you just lamented this sequence. And this is arguably what the Bounty appearing does too!

Spock wasn't treated much better in "Unification" - they made him seem like a naive dipshit who would have fallen into a trap without the TNG crew there to save the day.

"Sarek" might be the best of those TNG episodes.

At last we agree!

Not sure the Bounty works as well as the Seven/Voyager scene. But I'm a character driven fan.

You’re right but he was kind of this in TUC, if you think about it.

I wonder if Kirk emerging from the Nexus in the 24th century was covered up or if he was given a ceremonial funeral by Starfleet. Regardless it looks like the grave robbing Section 31 stole his remains to keep them as a ghoulish exhibit. Amazing how they managed to make off with both Kirk and Picard's bodies without anyone noticing.

It's almost like they're a organization practiced in deceit and subterfuge or something.

Same. It stands out as contrivance.

Which is exactly why I’m not sure a show centered on them would work, despite the calls for it.

 

[fireproof78]

It would almost be ...

an impossible mission...

The Seven in Picard is a different character from the one we saw in Voyager.

TOS had a "sister" show in the 1960s called Mission: Impossible. It's very premise was built around that. (For the "good guys" of course).

Ha! I’m pretty sure that organization didn’t attempt genocide though.

Missions change.

People change.

You can make it work if you're willing to be open minded in the Trek sandbox.

Wouldn’t it be weird if she was the same?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Ha! I’m pretty sure that organization didn’t attempt genocide though.

But they'd probably trick someone played by Pernell Roberts into thinking they did.

 

[Magistos]

The Seven in Picard is a different character from the one we saw in Voyager.

I mean...we all are. She's grown. At least we hope she has.

One of my favourite games as a kid!

Didn’t she say they broke up in the first episode of season 3?

Coming late to the party, I was unclear whether they had really broken up and or whether that just part of her cover story while she was pretending to have relapsed into substance abuse and fallen on hard times.

As I recall, she first mentions the breakup while she's pretending to be a strung-out junkie. I wasn't sure how literally to that since she's explicitly putting on an act there.

But it seems they did break up after all.

As for bringing back the Bounty . . . well, "the one with the whales" is one of my all-time favorite Trek movies, which, by total coincidence, I had just rewatched a few nights before, so I absolutely loved that bit. Ate it up with a spoon.

It made me grin, which, to my mind, is reason enough to go there.
