Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x06 - "The Bounty"

Right...because capturing a former Tal Shiar agent from an Empire that had perfected paranoia is just a cake walk, right?

 

SEVEN: I can do better than that. Look who I found in a transporter buffer
Enter Travis Mayweather.
EVERYONE: Who?

 

Laris isn't important enough to capture

 

Picard gets a golem, Kirk gets a TOS era version…

 

Which is why it probably is really her. Which Riker can check for with his Imzadi telepathy, which is rarely shown and I don’t think has ever been explained to anyone else in the show. I sort of hope that is precisely what he does.

 

"I thought he was a robot."

 

So a store mannequin from "Spearhead From Space"?

 

That's what she wants you to believe.

 

Magister & Splink written down the inside leg measurement, the works. Or a paramount copyright across his arse, just like the TMP figures, as god-thing gene intended.

 

RIKER: I thought I made him up in the Holodeck. I won a Hugo on AO3 and everything?
WORF: What is AO3?
SEVEN: We do not discuss it with outsiders.

 

That may be one of the things Vadic doesn't know.

I mean, I'm sure she knows Deanna is half Betazoid, but perhaps not about the Imzadi thing.

 

I need a scene where the characters board the NX-01 and start fiddling with the controls until they accidentally turn on the transporter, causing a very confused beagle to materialize on the platform.

 

In one of the TNG previews Deanna says there's darkness on the ship .Now we know it's changeling s on the Shrike I'm curious if this will be shown in the show the Dominion.I'm curious about Vadic's back story.

 

Grief is a bitch. Doesn’t necessarily make it easy to remember all the details.

Also, of all of the things not good about Nemesis, for me, this was a headscratcher but a minor one at that.

 

The Darkness could be referring to something else. Like who is commanding the Changelings.

 

You mean Floating Head Guy? That could work...

 

That's just how these new shows are lighted.

 

About Changeling Deanna, I just started thinking... what if they did actually kidnap her, and replaced her with an impostor on Nepenthe?

If Picard and the others tried to contact her, it might provide some opportunities for drama with the episode trying to confuse the viewer as to which Deanna is the real deal until the changeling is unmasked at the very end.

 

Since we’ve seen references to “Encounter at Farpoint,” in the TNG pilot, Riker and Troi are able to speak to each other telepathically.

That’s something a Changeling shouldn’t be able to duplicate (unless we’re going to go with the idea that their ability to duplicate organs and physiology would allow a Changeling to have telepathic/empathic abilities).

Honestly, one thing never broached in Deep Space Nine, is whether Betazoids would be a defense against Changeling infiltration. If a Betazoid is able to read Changelings (since TNG does establish there are some species that are immune to Betazoid abilities), they would be able to feel their deception and out an infiltrator.

 

Might be why Betazed was attacked.
