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

[Firebird]

Shatner never shied away from wanting to play kirk again, I seem to recall he was open to appearing in ST 09 but they just couldn't work out how to get him in it

Not exactly. His scene is in the final shooting script that was locked during production right before the writer's strike, so they were intending to shoehorn Shatner in pretty damn late in the proceedings.

the changelings are mustache twirling villains now , all the nuance is gone

When they decided to kill all Cardassians pretty sure nuance left then.

All this talk has made me want to read The Return again.

Kirk's scene in the Abrams movie was included at the end of the script as "Alternate scene B" to be included "If time and casting permits." It was a contingency, never actually scheduled.

Yeah, being directly responsible for the murder of some 800 million inhabitants of a planet sort of robbed them of most nuance 25 years earlier. That's a bigger death toll than Earth's World War III and that involved nuclear weapons.

They were just cardassians though.

They're whetting our appetite for the S31 series that is supposedly still in development. It's like they're saying to us, "Imagine a series that would use all those crazy devices from various episodes." That's not to say that would be the entire point of the series but worked in with the characterization, etc. I don't know. Maybe.

Putting Shatner in it is about the only way they could get me to watch that S31 show.

I really want Matalas to put this Kirk stuff to rest. But that he hasn’t (that I’m aware of) makes me a little nervous.

 

[Isolar]

People who have seen the entire season have said it's just an Easter egg, so I don't know what everyone is so worried about.

I think we all figured that but it’s just fun to speculate

I don't know, some folks seemed pretty upset by the notion. I love Shatner, but that shot was so brief that I didn't even notice it when I watched the episode.

James A. Kirk would like a word.

Fun fact: one of my grandfathers was James W. Kirk. He went by Walter.

You know better than this. He's not showing up. It was an Easter Egg.

If William Shatner was really in PIC Season 3, someone would've leaked something by now. Something like that wouldn't stay a secret for long.

And even if William Shatner agreed to be in Picard, he'd never permit himself to play second-fiddle. The plot would have to revolve around Picard not being able to save the day without him. This series isn't about Kirk living up to the legend he was. It's about Picard living up to the legend he was.

That was just the female changeling though. And she did it because Cardassia had turned against them. We had already seen with the Quickening virus that the founders punished those who tried to fight back.

Wasn't there some talk about one of Data's neurons being discovered after the Nemesis battle and was used to make Soji. Am I missing something about that? I forgot, how was Soji data's "daughter"?

 

[Gilora]

That moment when Data recognises Geordie and the way he said, "Captain" genuinely brought me to tears.

Brent Spiner played it identically to when Geordi woke up Data in ST: Generations. I suspect Spiner re-watched that scene for reference. Great acting.

The Dominion infecting the Teplans with the Blight is just one example of their villainy. I can only imagine how many races they killed off.

Their body count can't be anywhere near the Borg's level, but the Dominion is probably the only entity who can even approach them.

People who have seen the entire season have also signed very well crafted NDAs.
