Locutus voice

[Captrek]

The Borg selected Picard to be their “voice.” So what if Locutus, instead of talking like a drone, actually talked like Picard? How would that affect our reaction to the episodes?

 

[Maurice]

Wouldn't.

 

[Finn]

Depends. Would he go and preach like in The Drumhead, or goes off about Shakespeare?

Same dialog, just using Picard’s prosody. Stewart playing Locutus as Picard rather than Locutus.

This is gonna sound patronising however I write it...

The Trek audience attracts a clever crowd, but it's also appealing to the casual watchers. And I think it would just be considered confusing by the writers. When you plug all the shit into him and make him white, it makes it clear he's a different person.
