Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x08 - "Surrender"

[TRON JA307020]

The viewing audience doesn’t give two shits about Armus.

It was a joke. Calm down.

I know you were joking. Don’t take things so personal.

The Ep9 teaser preview shows Troi open the door and storm out of the room in fear. So basically they teased a reveal and still don't give it right away which is starting to get funny. They did say that the red tendrils represent connections.

So is Troi planning to go tell Picard & co. what she saw? Will they have her go through a door in the ship and then cut to something else to stall that reveal? What else can they do to push this to the end of the ep and all the way to ep10? Red alert, the ship is hit, Troi is knocked unconscious...

What would make Troi frightened? Borg is obviously a possibility, but is there anything else?

Still going with Luxwana.

or seven powers up Voyager for its transphasic torps... just in case jack is a psedoborg

Well… we hear Tuvok is back as actual Tuvok…
Everyone in for the last five minutes? Talking hand guy is secretly Neelix? XD

It’s not an unreasonable reaction even if it is offensive to Seven and us as viewers who know Seven.

No, it's not unreasonable, and your post as a whole is a much more reasoned argument than most I've seen attempting to justify Shaw's insistence on using a name Seven doesn't want used. For me it comes back to respect and basic courtesy. She's Titan's first officer (and it's been suggested Shaw requested her). Surely he should show his XO the courtesy of calling her by her name.

I'm not saying Shaw should just get over it; life's never that simple. But given Seven was assimilated when she was six years old it's not unreasonable that she doesn't identify with her birth name. (And as someone whose perfectly straightforward name is almost always mispronounced, I have a pretty good sense of how utterly frustrated Seven would feel about being called by a name she doesn't identify with.)

Anyway. I've said enough about the subject so I'll shut up now.

Would anyone be disappointed if the Enterprise-E was to turn up rather than the D in the next couple of episodes?

A bit. I like the D a lot more than the E, but it's not something I'd be overly concerned about.

Well, it's possible she isn't actually dead, but she probably would need help to.warm up and re-form.

One could assume that a photon torpedo going off and destroying a starship right next to Vadic's pieces, probably boiled off the liquid rather quickly and finished her off.

Actress is yes, sadly, Majel died in 2010 I think

In universe it's not clear if she has passed.

Figured it out.

Everything that has happened is Lwaxana's passive aggressive gambit to force Deanna to move her Grandchild closer to Betazed.

I don’t have a problem with Shaw calling her Commander Hansen. Presumably her legal name is still Annika Hansen. Her ex lover Bjayzul called her Annika. She could always go through a legal change of name if she chooses. Shaw clearly and understandably has a visceral hatred of the Borg and all associations with them. He was open minded enough to pick Seven as his first officer or at least not to pitch a fit when she was assigned to him and he didn’t really seem to mean it when he relieved her from duty the first time since he didn’t have her escorted off the bridge right away by security. That only came about later. But calling her by a Borg name clearly goes a step too far.

Shaw picked Seven to keep a strict dispassionate eye on her.

Monitor her loyalty to the Federation, and shoot her in the face, or blow up the ship when eventually necessary.

How do you unexplode the main hull and get the now 30+ year old wrecked Saucer section off Veridian III?

Theres on screen evidence that the saucer was recovered from V3. You don't unexplode the secondary hull but my bet is that there's was one handy for the Ent D to be rebuilt.

 

[Guy Gardener]

I don't know what "pew, pew" is supposed to mean. All the phasers fire, they are all capable of different settings, and they all have the same effects. The writers choose whatever works for the plot. A TNG phaser will kill just as easily, this is a difference that makes no difference.

There's a scene in Voy Future's end where Starling's goon Dunbar disintegrates a truck with his 29th century Phaser, so Tuvok fires back with his 24th century phaser, which knocks Dunbars phaser out of his hand.

Majel Barrett is, sadly.

Not sure about Lwaxana Troi, the fictional character. I don't recall it ever being established that she's died.

Still my favorite “big bad”; telepathic; tied to the crew personally; scares both Deanna and JLP witless.

(Even if there’s another answer this one fits many bills.)

And recall Majel recorded her phonemes for future use.

Showing off: I edited the novelization of that movie, back in the day. As I recall, it sold pretty well.

The Titan crew's hiding in the Ready Room reminded me of the FBI's active shooter guidance:

https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/safety-resources/active-shooter-safety-resources

The FBI's instructions for surviving an active shooter?

Run.
Hide.
Fight.

Run first. If you can't run, hide. If you can't hide, fight as a last resort.

You'd think that the Titan crew would fight before hiding. All of them have firearms training.

Shaw is a coward. He was counting on Jack (A civilian!) to bail his butt out.

You’ve told me that before. You forgot Jason Issacs was in it.
That answers it. The big bad is Lorca.
