I'm thrilled that Matalas ignored the Jurati Borg from S2. It turned out quite terrible in it's execution.

We saw signs of him wanting to distance himself from it by Ep 4 "Forget that weird crap on the Stargazer, the Real Borg are out there"

Just like Salamander Paris....this is something that didn't work with audiences. So it's best ignored;

Maybe Lower Decks will make a joke about the Jurati Borg someday.
 
Also just realised Geordis line of Ent-D being the "last functional ship not tied to the system" rules out an appearance from Voyager or Defiant :(

I agree. if we are about to fight the Borg, I think Voyager should be a perfect choice for them. As it was equipped with the "futuristic" armor that could beat Borg weapon.

We got a good look at it a few weeks ago and it clearly didn’t have the Batmobile armour generators any more.
 
The amount of head canon required for this series is record breaking
If this is a reference to the Enterprise-D bridge not looking exactly like it did in Generations...

We did see it get trashed in that movie. The last time the set appears when Picard and Riker talk in the ready room and go outside to beam up to the Farragut, it's almost completely ruined. Its ceiling has caved in, the back consoles have melted, the wall between the bridge and the ready room has a giant hole in it right where the side consoles added in Generations should be, and the tactical arch has completely collapsed forward, dislodging all the chairs in the center. No headcanon needed to explain why it wasn't rebuilt to 2371 specs.

Maybe they can rescue some starfleet personnel and regroup at the museum. Seven could captain Voyager, and Worf could captain the Defiant. They could put together a rag tag mothball fleet.
 
The line is literally "This ship is the only one not on the network."

I'm not usually a fan of strict literalism but well Geordi seems pretty certain about this.

Perhaps I’m misreading, but intra-ship automation is different than whatever the newer fleet has; it’s been around since at least TSFS.
 
Funny thing is: IF it WAS the Saucer section from Veridian III as Geordi actually says it is in the episode; the above SHOULD have been the set layout.:rommie::shrug:
Have some imagination! the bridge was only in that Generations configuration for like 5 minutes before the ship got wrecked, so he would have very little affection for it. very much the opposite probably. it's very believable he'd choose to restore it to the earlier configuration.

plus, I wonder if it was even the same bridge module and if he could have just retrieved the old one from wherever. while the Generations bridge is probably a refitting of the existing bridge, it could also have been a complete replacement with a new module revision. it's been established that starfleet ships typically have a modular bridge component that can be easily swapped/replaced, and they frequently are.

if that happened, he may have even been able to retrieve that specific original module in relatively good condition since that would mean it never got thrashed in the saucer crash.

Yeah. it basically looked like it did in GEN for perhaps - and this is being generous - seven months or so in 2371, and possibly not even that long. Could have been a month or two depending on when she stopped at Spacedock for the systems upgrade. She still looked like the series bridge at the end of 2370 so for seven-eighths of her active duty life the 1701-D bridge looked like it did in TNG.

Well, yes, but I am referring to Geordi's comments about them not being on the network, which means they can't be impacted by the Borg's efforts. He says the Enterprise-D is the only ship (emphasis added), which strikes me as a bit odd given that I would imagine that most of the older ships at the museum would not be either, unless the network is used in part to keep them their at the museum and he did this as a personal hobby of restoring the D back to spec and didn't include that system because it was "his" ship. I don't know. It just struck me as unique but kind of odd the way it was empahsized on the bridge.

The only functioning ship. The D isn't the only ship, but it's the only ship that's up and running that isn't connected to the network, and probably the only one with a fighting chance.

Thank you. Though I'm still surprised but I guess that helps it a little.
