Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x09 - "Võx"

[jaime]

Its entirely possible that only the Enterprise-D is the one with sufficient automation systems to enable the "fam" to operate it?

To be fair, it’s gained sentience and had a baby, without a bio-neural gel pack in sight.

 

[Racefuel]

Makes you wonder just what they did to the Defiant and Sentinel

 

[jaime]

Geordi probably had to get a whole new bridge module for the Enterprise after how thoroughly it was trashed. And if it needed to be rebuilt, then as a museum ship, the bridge layout it had for the majority of its service would probably be the better choice even if he only chose it for personal reasons.

There’s always been the suggestion that the bridge in Gen was a new module that had been slapped in, so that — as Data suggests —may actually *be* the original bridge, brought out of stores.

 

[Racefuel]

Thats a good one, really.

 

[valkyrie013]

They killed the asshole...

Almost Tasha level pointless death.. F;#=%&"#=

Wanted Shaw to captain darn it..

Guess Shelby is ded too.. Hope Janeway wasn't in there somewhere..

There was a minor reference to Season 2 per TrekCore review
https://blog.trekcore.com/2023/04/star-trek-picard-review-vox/

• Jack Crusher’s memories take him to the arboretum on Raritan IV, the planet on which we last saw Soji Asha in the Picard Season 2 premiere.

And the Raritan National Laboratory in 12 MONKEYS, where the time travel machine is located

Hope Janeway wasn't in there somewhere..

Why would she be? She's off with her new crew

 

[Tomalak]

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.

It’s also, crucially, the only one with a crew.

Geordi brings up legions of EMH Mark 1s.

"Now, we have a crew."

Was that Majels voice on the D?
Either they did use the computer version or just done archive voice.. Plenty to chose from.

Cgi is decent but honestly is a bit of a letdown .. They can do better.

Archive audio, but yes it is Majel

Bob Picardo shows up as command holograms.. Would be outstanding

 

[NCC-73515]

They needed Picard to copy his ‘recieve’ Bluetooth module in his parietal lobe. They needed Jack for a working, matured, ‘transmit’ Bluetooth module.

It's redtooth now

The Borg really shouldn't need Picard's body to obtain gene sequences they put there in the first place.

They took part of the brain tissue, not gene sequences

Whoa there Hoss, fair is fair. Don't single one poster out when you're going to make a blanket statement like that. Lots of posts in this thread fall into talk of "modern politics."

It's almost like he didn't write "To everyone". Why did you miss that?

Are there multiple cubes in the nebula? The Troi vision shows only one, but when Jack arrives at the nebula, it was hard to see.

Someone wrote that it looked like part of the unicomplex, not just a cube

And clearly Geordi took out a set of lightbulbs, bridge looked a little darker than it used to

Generations was darker

Geordi said they get hundreds of visitors a day Doesn’t make sense it’s just the two of them

Closed for the holiday

I'm I losing it, or was "networked Starfleet ships run amok" also the climax of the most recent seasons of both Prodigy and Lower Decks?

And they said they're now comparing stories across shows to prevent stuff like the double Riker save from happening again

It's for fans to see their heroes and hear the same anecdotes, not an academic conference.

An academic Trek conference would be great!

Maybe the red eyes are a reference to Borg lasers?

The Borg symbol is also red

 

[Mr Awe]

No, it makes perfect sense you would want to give people's eye's the time to adjust.

Agreed. After all, by this point the TNG crew have been in the extreme dark on the Titan for so long that they're like those people living in caves for an extended time. They need to adapt to bright lights slowly to avoid damaging their eyes!

 

[fireproof78]

Eye drops.

We've learned.

We've adapted.

We will conquer this Federation for...

...


...
The Terran Empire! *passes out eye drops*

It still shouldn't be needed. Sci-fi films attribute so much magic to DNA that everyone forgets it's literally a sequence of 4 letters, A,G,T,C . The changelings could've downloaded a literal text file (yeah it'd be a very long text file) of Picard's Borg DNA from transporter records when he was a human and it would've been enough.

That's not even getting into how the changelings would've been able to insert this into aliens who might have completely different DNA or no DNA at all or be a different type of lifeform but...

 

[Annorax849]

Now I’m curious about the E. Kind of funny how the first time we see both E and (canon) F, they’re being overrun by Borg.

And I assume that Excelsior had a letter after it? Especially since the original was apparently at the museum.

It did.

The Greek letter Sigma.

The one thing I don't understand is... what was the Queen's original plan with Picard's tailor-made receiver-transmitter genes? The one we saw executed not only hinges on a third party intentionally propagating it through individual transporter units, but also on him having naturally conceived offspring who inherits his genome in a specific way that allows him to act as a transmitter for the assimilation signal when plugged into the Collective. How would that work with what we have seen with Locutus acting as a mouthpiece for what appears to be a standard send-a-single-cube assimilation plan?

Perhaps it was an adaptation (see what I did there? ) to the fact that the Federation involved so many different species that the Borg were looking for a different way than the usual assimilation route with just one planet. They needed the ability to propagate it, as well as a back up plan in case things didn't work.
