Spoilers Picard Season 3 - Preview Photos/Videos Thread

[Nerys Myk]

I do think that Face is someone we know...

Dirk Benedict?

Could this be how we get Jurati or Elnor back?

The face hasn't said "Vadic -- choose to live!" yet, so I doubt it's Elnor.

 

[SpocksOddSocks]

For some reason, I find myself wondering if The Face is, of all people,

Spoiler

Enterprise’s Future Guy. He’s worked with shapeshifters before, and his plan seems weirdly specific about Frontier Day…

Whist he's still giving me some Armus vibes, I can defintely see your suggestion fitting in other words too.

However, I'm also thinking of the old "resistance is useless" thing from Control in Disco S2. That was a red herring, and keep thinking a lot of parallels in either of these might be the same.

What if it's, y'know, actually CONTROL?

I would appreciate the surprise though. I've been looking for realistic (or unrealistic ways) to bring back the original cast. Considering this season has to do with AI and stuff like that I could see the most realistic character returning being Soji.

 

[The Wormhole]

Didn’t Matalas say we might feel some sympathy for Vadic?

I don't know about Vadic, but I feel sympathy for Amanda Plummer who is trying to deliver a decent performance, but unfortunately the character is literally written as "Generic Trek Movie Villain" not leaving much room for any actor to do anything interesting with the role.

 

[fireproof78]

Vadic's amazing. Easily top 5 villains for me in Trek.

 

[thribs]

The actual Control. Not whatever that rubbish was from Discovery.

 

[Mudd]

The actual Control. Not whatever that rubbish was from Discovery.

That's a non sequitur.

 

[fireproof78]

Not how this works.

 

[Supervisor 194]

Maybe the ghost of Don Adams can show up to represent the real CONTROL

 

[Nerys Myk]

Maybe the ghost of Don Adams can show up to represent the real CONTROL

Or Janet Jackson.

I mean the version portrayed from the novels. It’s a very different beast.

Give them a read. They're very good.

Been reading them since Spock Must Die. A mixed bag to be sure.

I mean the Control novel. It's a lot of fun.

Yeah Vadic has so far been the worst aspect of season 3 for me. The quirky evil schtick and spouting random nonsense like 'chase fast enough, hunt well enough, open the jaw wide enough and eventually the prey runs right into the mouth of the beast' is getting old fast.

I suppose they could have had her quoting Shakespeare instead...
