Finally watched the Ready Room episode that goes along with Episode 9, “Vox.” During Wil’s interview with Jonathon Frakes and Elizabeth Dennehy, Wil implied at one point that Tuvok was killed. I thought that his fate was more in limbo, and he was possibly a prisoner somewhere. Do you think he’s dead?
Spoilers Will_survive the finale?

The implication in the dialogue was that he was alive, but would wish he were dead or words to that affect.
It is however possible that he's been assimilated.

Well Picard when he fails in battle due to superior tactics likes to ram ships, maybe he will do that to the cube.
He also added "Fact or fiction, you tell me" after that, suggesting he wasn't really confirming it.

Janeway's best plan ever!
I remember groaning when Unimatrix Zero assimilated Tuvok, B'elanna, and Janeway and was like, "They're really going to far and downplaying the horror of assimilation." And indeed I don't believe this episode was one of the better ones.
I did NOT think that 20+ years later half of Starfleet would be assimilated and the majority of fandom would be cheering it as the greatest thing ever. Shows what I know.
I'm actually imagining Seven as Captain, Data as XO, Raffi as tactical officer, Sydney La Forge at the helm and Elnor as Ops officer.
Geordi didn't spend 20 years rebuilding the Enterprise-D just to blow it up. Terry didn't spend 30 years hating its destruction just so he could blow it up once he brought it back.
Putting those two things together, I think the Enterprise-D will survive.
Also a hint: If this is TNG's Star Trek VI, then look back at the actual Star Trek VI. The Enterprise-A survived. And for all intents and purposes, the Enterprise-A was just like the Enterprise-D in Picard. Even though technically it wasn't, it was pretty much treated as if it was a rebuild of the Refit.

She deserves to go out with dignity but I think she deserves this one last adventure and then they decommission her for good and she ends up back at the fleet museum with her sister Enterprises.
Interesting how the ships in these series turned out.
Kirk's Enterprise and the Defiant were replacement ships after the previous ones were destroyed.
Picard's Enterprise was rebuilt.
Archer's Enterprise was intact but was modified at some point after ENT Season 4.
Voyager was not only intact, but its design was never altered during its lifetime.

It wouldn't have been so bad, if not for the fact that of the 3 of them, the one who couldn't resist the collective was Tuvok.
I'm betting the real Tuvok is either hiding (biding time) or has been taken prisoner, and he lives.
They won't kill off someone whose name was ever in the front credits. That only happens if a regular wants out of their contract, which isn't the case here.

IIRC, Terry said that they considered the Conspiracy parasites for this season (in place of the changelings) but decided against it because, paraphrasing, the parasites kill their hosts/get them killed when protagonists phaser them. That implies to me the plan is to show that replaced characters are alive by the end.
Thing is though, why would the borg keep prisoners and not assimilate them?
So I guess they're prisoners of the changelings.
Even if Picard defeats the Borg he's still got to root out the changelings and find where the officers they replaced are being kept.

Which is easy now because they know how to track them now.
