GEN: Picard didn’t know the ENT-D was destroyed

[Haggis and tatties]

^^^Yeah Soran did not get much done in all that time, he built a missile, some scaffolding and nice little looking blaster.

First Contact - Good one Picard, watch while a few more ships get blown up by the Borg then give the order to fire

You know this one has always bugged me.

Me too, I suppose the rationalisation is... nope can't rationalise that one! Except cool dramatic effect.

I don't think I'll ever understand the logic of Picard going back and locking Soren up after meeting at Ten Forward. Lock him up for what? He hadn't done anything yet.

Other than arranging with Klingon traitors the Durhey sisters to develop weapons of immensely massive destruction by attacking Romulan outposts to harvest trilithium and build the weapons in secret lairs in Federation science stations, anyway.

The Duras sisters. And it'd be hard to prove that in court and anyway that came after Picard met him in Ten Forward.

The other day I watched Generations and wondered why Picard didn’t just simply travel back while Soran was still onboard the Enterprise-D before he hitched a ride with the Duras sisters and kidnaped Geordi?
When Picard was trapped in the Nexus with Kirk and went back to Veridian III just before Soran launched his trilithium-warhead missile, I don’t think he knew the 1701-D was destroyed with the saucer crash landing onto the planet. I think the saucer crashed in another geographic area since the region where Soran launched his missile was mountainous, while the Ent-D crashed into a forested area. The ENT-D could have crashed hundreds - if not thousands - of miles away from Picard.

Looked like it had almost crashed on another planet.
In the Novel Picard didn't know the D had crashed until Geordi and Worf told him.

There's also a deleted scene where we see the Shuttle coming in to land to pick up Picard and Geordie exits briefing Picard on what happened to the Enterprise. Could've done with being in the actual scene though as it would fit in nicely.

I have always assumed he had to fire at the right moment, and was waiting for a vulnerability to appear.

Soran had already built the trilithium torpedoes, which is why he wanted to get back to the amagosa observatory. Picard could have just presented those as evidence in court

And when the Duras sisters show they could've just destroyed the observatory and there'd no evidence. And Soren did say the experiment was already running so it's possible the torpedo might've destroyed the sun anyway.

Yes but Veridian 3 would be safe.

What I want to know is; if Picard [and Kirk] appeared BEFORE Picard entered the Nexus, where was the Picard who was sat around trying to get through the force-field?
