Someone posted a Collider interview with Matalas with some interesting statements on that front: Shaw is dead, but Stashwick is in every episode of the season, and would still fit in with any potential spinoffs. So something seems up.

The last one doesn't count. They are very much not Borg anymore, that's why they're called ex-Bs.
Of course you can do anything. People are emotional every day.
True. Although, there is a part of me that wonders if the Mirror-Borg will show up in the finale. It would be a nice way to tie up the entire series. The Mirror-Borg could "convert" the OG Borg to their ways closing the evolution of the Borg. Picard and co. actions in S2 actually paid off by creating the instrument of Starfleet's salvation and permanently ending the Borg threat.
What a goddamn tragedy. What a lost generation.
As one of those kids who was always on the computer, don't judge them too harshly. We only did that when the cool people in school made it clear we wouldn't be allowed to hang out with them, we shouldn't be near them, etc.
Our polarized and cruel society is to blame, not the tech. If society in general were kinder and more understanding of people with disabilities, shortcomings that don't cross any legal lines, etc. people will leave their screens and interact. I'd be the first to do so.
Even in adulthood, if you're trying to reach out socially and all you hear is, "I don't know you", what options do we have? Of course we'll stick to the computer games, we don't want restraining orders.
Deleted scene from Picard Season 3 --
Picard: Agnes, it's Jean-Luc Picard! My son is a Borg bioweapon that's going to assimilate all of Starfleet in a few hours at Frontier Day festivities! Let's meet so you can cure him or at least integrate his Borg DNA into your friendly faction instead!
Agnes: Mister, we're guarding a transwarp conduit. Curing your son is irrelevant.
Jean-Luc: The lives of thousands of Federation citizens are at stake so that can wait ok? I'm going to send coordinates we can meet to hand over Jack and--
Computer: The recipient has ended this call.
Picard:
I can just hear the conversation.
He'd break something.
There's also probably mini collectives like that one from Season 3 of Voyager.
Season 3 is Star Trek in bullet points.
The Borg again. Ugh.
The Enterprise D bridge scene was the greatest thing I have ever watched in my entire life. I am just sad that there is only one episode left.
Maybe the Borg will assimilate Captain Shaw and revive him somehow.
Shelby was probably my favourite TNG guest star and it was good to see her again.
It had to be the Borg as the enemy. This is the classic TNG villain.
I rated this episode a 9. I loved it.

I loved it when Barnabas walled up Rev. Trask on the original DARK SHADOWS, back in the day. Lord, how I hated Trask as a kid.
It's possible.
The Collective took a direct blow when the Queen was infected by the future Admiral Janeway (go Kathryn!)... so Borgati would have had to operate in relative secrecy for about 357 odd years... which would have been easy since she would have had transtemporal awareness and would have been able to avoid the Borg with high degree of success and then do a major 'clean up' operation after Voyager took down the Collective.
The 'real' Queen was initially destroyed... but she was killed before and came back... so her consciousness is likely stored remotely... aka it probably goes into a nearby active Borg technology or unicomplex since the IS the Collective and Borg signals permeate subpspace in real time.
With the destruction of the Unicomplex in 'Endgame' though, she'd have limited options, but some parts of the collective may have survived independently in odd ships like the Sphere that was chasing VOY back to the AQ in the TW conduit, so her consciousness probably went into some last remaining cubes.
So, those 'lucky' vessels and infrastructures which survived probably hung on for dear life trying to regain what was previously lost (but there would have still been a major power vacuum leftover and a significant portion of the Borg would have likely been disconnected from the hive mind, and possibly lost the ability to assimilate via nanoprobes as Prodigy established).
Borgati would have been on the move and acquired previous drones into her own more willing collective leaving the 'real' Borg with proverbial scraps by the time Picard series began (so, Borgati would have had about 20 odd years to do her work).
The Cube in the nebula we saw in episode 9 of Pic S3 seemed like a makeshift movable mini unicomplex that can house the Queen.

She probably had a greater opportunity when the Unicomplex went boom and several cubes went dormant.
You know what? The plot is over-cooked and I'm not sure it totally makes sense. I'm disappointed that The Borg are back. I'm pissed that they killed off the best new character with the most long-term potential since Lorca.
Still gets a 9/10, despite these things...because it's fucking WILDLY ENTERTAINING. And, call me crazy, but I watch Star Trek primarily to be entertained.
Love it...can't wait to see how the final episode turns out.

Good point. Not sure this is really a technology thing. We didn't have personal computers or mobile phones when I was growing up, but I spent most of my teen years with my nose in a book. My friends from those days are often amazed at just how little I remember of our old high school. I pretty much tuned it out.
With the Enterprise D coming back into action (and apparently "fully functional"), will/could it be recommissioned back into the fleet? According the TNG Technical manual, the Galaxy class ships are designed for a 100 year life span. Makes sense with all of resources going into building a starship.
PS - Are there any good 4K pictures floating around yet?

I in no way want to derail the thread...but this IS very scary as a parent of two pre-teen boys (9 and 11). I'm VERY fortunate that they have multiple interests (heavy into sports with baseball, basketball, football... martial arts, chess club, video editing, etc) and that they have some very good friends they've met through those activities who they actually do real social things with quite frequently.
Sometimes I think getting them into varied activities is the only way to combat that stagnation.
Or...maybe we're just lucky right now.
