Spoilers Jonathan Del Arco as Hugh

[Miss Chicken]

I read an interview with Del Arco in a 1990s Trek magazine, and the backstory of the origins of High in what he witnessed in the AIDS-related dementia of his partner never came up. His orientation, for that matter, never came up.

I really do appreciate that this can surface now.

Del Arco seems to be a genuinely nice and interesting man. He has been an activist for gay rights , and has also been involved in environmental issue and for the rights of immigrants. Hhas worked for three presidential campaigns and he served as an Obama Celebrity Surrogate for the 2012 Presidential Campaign. He was born in Uruguay and his family moved to the US when he was ten.

His most notable role is in acting career besides playing Hugh has been as Dr Fernando Morales in The Closer, and in Major Crimes. In those shows Dr Morales was definitely a gay man.

If anyone is interested in what Jonathan looked like under that Borg makeup all those years ago

Great to see you here, Miss Chicken. It’s been a long time.

Or maybe she opted not to have her implants removed.

That explanation works for me. A way to mark the unique and individual aspects of her history/background.

Surgery is risky (she knows that if she goes under the knife, she may or may not wake up).

Besides, what would be the point? There are always going to be parts within her that are Borg. Why take that risk to suit human sensibilities?

 

[The Old Mixer]

She's not one of Hugh's Crew, so I'd expect her take on ex-Borgness to be a little different.

 

[Mondragon]

Got to say, I loved the Hugh and Picard reunion.
Their walk through the cube, as Hugh shows him what they've achieved, and his hope someone like Picard if he took on their cause, gave Picard a smile.

As it continued the narrative of the first reclaimed Borgs, or De-Borged .
(Are we officially calling them "XBs"' as per Hugh in episode 3)
?

Looks like he does call them XBs again in episode 6.
I really like the scene, where he references, having a new name is what helped him find his humanity.
Just again wish he'd mentioned or asked about Jordi, as it was Jordi who gave him the name, and walked him down that path.
Picard actually just wanted to use him as a weapon, it's only through Hugh's will to not see Jordi harmed, that Picard recognized that Hugh had gained individuality and free will again.
Hopefully (they aren't offing him next ep.) and they are saving it for an eventual Jordi and Hugh reunion.
Cause I really need to see that.

I am hoping that next episode some of the xB’s will come to Hugh’s and Elnor’s aid and maybe they will all escape the Artifact together.

Spoiler: Hope is a dangerous thing

You may want to skip the next episode...

Spoiler: You couldn’t have let him [and me] wait?

“But there are dreams that cannot beeeeeeee, and there are storms we cannot weatherrrrrrrrr........”

 

[ThreeEdgedSword]

Yeah, that spoiler tag doesn't give away anything, does it?

 

[Unimatrix Q]

Spoiler

Have a hunch that Seven revives Hugh in the next episode with her nanoprobes, like she did with Neelix in "Mortal Coil"

 

[TrekMD]

That would be something if it happens.

 

[Crewman6]

Surely the Romulans would want to be able to keep tabs on people they regard as one of their worst enemies?

You're assuming that the Romulans see the Borg as their equals (they don't).

Hugh wasn't freed by the Romulans and has clearly spent time living in the Federation (where he's a citizen.)

 

[Danja]

If he wasn't freed by the Romulans, who removed his implants?

The Romulans killed him. It proves my point.

 

[ThreeEdgedSword]

I sure would have liked to know how he managed to become a Federation citizen. He did not have the Voyager crew to look out for him.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

He's no Brian Brophy...

 

[The Old Mixer]

I sure ould hav liked to know how h managed to become a Federation citizen. He did not have the Voyager crew to look out for him.

He had the Enterprise crew.

Spoiler

Jonathan confirmed Hugh is dead and he has closure with the character.

 

[Crewman6]

If he wasn't freed by the Romulans, who removed his implants?

The Romulans killed him. It proves my point.

Romulans have a monopoly on implant removal? That's news to me. (and everyone else in the Star Trek universe.)

The Romulans killing him proves nothing. Rizzo specifically said she couldn't kill him because he was a Federation citizen and protected by treaty. Only once Hugh admitted to trying to overthrow the Romulans on the cube did she gloat that she was "now able" to kill him.

 

[Crewman6]

I sure would have liked to know how he managed to become a Federation citizen. He did not have the Voyager crew to look out for him.

He only had the, you know, actual Federation behind him, not <200 randos on the other side of the galaxy.
