Spoilers Episode 7 "Nepenthe"

[thribs]

There is a clip for the next episode that has Seven asking where Hugh is so I think that was his homing device.

 

[Mark 2000]

I'm guessing that Picard had it with him on the Cube and dropped it after materializing, possibly when he was stumbling around and disjointed from the shock of being back on a Borg vessel. Both Picard's beam-in and Elnor's hiding spot seem to be located next to one of those deep chasms inside the Cube so maybe he's hiding near that same spot?

It didn’t look dropped. It looked stuck to the underside of the table with chewing gum.

It's a TV show. Logic rarely makes sense.

They kept telling Picard that he doesn’t know how to handle teenagers forgetting that he has the memories of having an entire family from that stupid flute episode.

It's not like they watched the episode.

I'm sure it was on their list, which I assume are the only episodes they watched.

Does anyone else think the line about Riker still being in active reserve, but "it would take something major to ship out" has a slight "Chekhovs's Gun" vibe to it?

Absolutely
He’s on active reserve
The house is full of tech defence
Their son is dead
The soil on the planet is regenerative
The son could have been saved with a positronic network, but they couldn’t find one

We haven’t seen the last of Riker, Troi and Data

It's nice they continued the tradition of gluing bits on "Earth" animals to create stunningly realistic alien animals

 

[fireproof78]

Was I supposed to?
That probe traumatized him. He should have destroyed it.

That isn't the Trek way.

When she was rolling around on her bed stoned out of her mind and when she went on the bridge puffing and taking shots from the bottle. She was clearly non-functional. Now she's just normal again, but we have to guess she's still at it.

Addiction is a spectrum and I'd say Raffi is on the high functioning end of that spectrum. At least at the moment. Addicts can be very good at presenting normalcy but what's going on for them internally is anything but.

Indeed. Addiction doesn't mean can't function. If that were the case then how come all tte caffeine addicts go to work? Or nicotine addicts?

When did Picard find out? Elnor is the only one who knows Hugh died,

I mean the farewell scene in front of the teleport, when Picard asks Elnor to go with him and doesn't pay attention to the fact that Hugh has no chance to stay alive.

For me, this was the greatest moment in the series when Elnor realized Hugh's hopeless situation and remained to defend him. This was the moment of Elnor's moral adult, he was no longer an abandoned kid - he became a protector.

and what a protector he was

They kept telling Picard that he doesn’t know how to handle teenagers forgetting that he has the memories of having an entire family from that stupid flute episode.

Presumably they mean ones who act like actual teenagers, unlike the people on Planet Bland or his weird Nexus fantasy.

Contrast his ideal of how children should behave (per the Nexus) with Soji, and it's pretty clear that he would struggle to deal with her.

 

[cooleddie74]

And it's also possible that Picard never told Riker the more intimate details of his experience with the Kataan probe and kept details about remembering raising children all to himself.

 

[Rainard Fox]

and what a protector he was

You mean that he failed? It's next thing to the Hugh's death that make me frustrating. Elnor had a personal motivation important for his nature, well now he has a "well-understandable motivation", the same as they gave to Seven by this mindless Icheb's murder.

Hugh did have a chance. Kinda blew it though.

Crewman Kim.

You mean sub-janitor kim

 

[Rainard Fox]

Hugh did have a chance. Kinda blew it though.

What a chance? Picard saw what Tal Shiar did with battle android Dahj and hardly survived the next attack when he was protected by two expirienced agents.

He was protected by treaty. Even Ratso acknowledged that. Then he crossed a line.
