Spoilers Who is the mastermind in Season 3 of Picard?
- Thread starter The Overlord
- Start date
Well that would kill 2 birds with one stone. The Star Trek Nerd in me would like that. Not sure they can pull it off convincingly though. Even if the current showrunner is a Trek fanboy, I think he may still draw the line on certain major plot reveals not tieing to heavily to previous established trek. New viewers would be lost. But hey maybe I wrong.
I’m pretty sure actual new viewers are probably fairly lost already (and I’m not sure they’re very numerous in any case).
Picard: Did we get him?
Geordi: No, we traced his signal to a Starfleet Academy prefixing code... from the 32nd century! We believe that this is the same person from the future who tried to interfere with Jonathan Archer's Earth Enterprise exactly 250 years ago!
Picard: Well, we'll let them worry about it in 700 years.

Tilly: Thank you for attending the reopening of Starfleet Academy. Be on your best behavior. We know that one of you is, or will be, a time manipulating saboteur who tried to disupt the lives of Jonathan Archer and Jean-Luc Picard.
Cadets:
I'm still thinking it's Locutus... I think there's a reason they use the First Contact theme for the end credits...
Much the same way the first few episodes were reminiscent of Star Trek II, even down to the font and music
Matalas said there are no Borg this season. Yet it's all pointing to Borg.
Troi has been around Borg before and never used those words to describe them.
Armus is the only character that Troi every described as what could be called unredeemably evil
"Lonely Among Us" -- Picard is outright possessed by an alien entity, they only separate it with transporter shenanigans that had a gazillion ways that could've gone wrong (theoretically leaving him with "irumodic syndrome"), AND the entity at the episode's end is still out there and at large.
No history with Picard though.
But this is from producer: Nostalgiaman!! Leaping logic in a single bound.
This isn't true, I believe. He just said there's none of the new friendlier kinder Borg from last season.
Found on reddit--
Vadic and Seven have both been ripped from their collectives and forced to make new ones. That's why the line "fitting that you're here" makes sense.
Thus it does NOT mean that Jack is necessarily a Borg. He is trying to reconnect with some red themed group behind that door though.

A lot of people seem to be worried about a Borg-villian ending but ... the Borg are the primary antagonists of TNG and assimilation easily the most profound impact ever made on JLP's life ... I just wonder how it could NOT be the Borg?
I get that they've been fumbled in the past, somewhat, but. I dunno. Why not? The new Changelings are more "solid" so perhaps the Collective preyed on a weakened great link and ... added their biological and technological distinctiveness to the Borg's own? Picard as a show seems to focus on the ethics and pitfalls of bringing synthetic life into the world, so seems thematically OK to me.
I'm open to many possibilities, though. I don't really care as long as it entertains.

Because the Borg suck.
That hasn't stopped them before...
