I can understand that viewpoint where you are coming from. I have lots to think about in my rewatch of this episode.
Comments like these are not helpful, and crossing the "post, not poster" line.
All forums have people coming in that are new, old ones leaving, trolls who get banned or decide to shape up and contribute, it's what forums are. I know as I used to run many when I was younger. It's just the flow of a forum. Take my advice or not, don't worry about it. Judge people based on their content, not paranoia. Made my job as a forum admin easier years ago on different forums when I realized this.
They usually do. I post in the open, some use VPN's, some obscure MAC addresses my forum back when moderated was designed to be able to ban via hardware ID.
My feeling is that it was simply a case of my enemies enemy is my friend. I don't think there was a master plan. I think The Borg were thoroughly devastated by the virus in Endgame that it essentially almost wiped them out, it was like the plan Picard almost went through with in TNG but decided against it. This is their last throw of the dice against the one civilization that not only managed to resist them but ended up costing them dearly.
My hope is that this either ends The Borg permanently or destroys The Queen, reducing The Borg to a mere nothingness in the grand scheme of things. Just so writers have something to work with in the future, rather than having to constantly go back to Borg Queen.

Maybe if you lack critical thinking skills.This post from Tumblr sums it up:
Everyone is blinded by callbacks to their childhood and not that many people seem to be noticing that this mystery box plot makes as much sense as Discovery season 2.
No one in the show said or implied that the Queen has been planning this all the way back in BoBW.
The inference made in the show is that its a side affect that is being exploited by what little remains of the Borg and terrorist changelings.
In fact if you take the use of the Borg in Prodigy into account then Janeway's pathogen more or less destroyed the entire collective and rendered the Borg unable to assimilate with their technology or reconstruct the hive mind.
The Queen likely found out what happened to Picard, realized it was from the genetic modifications made to Locutus and when she learned he had a son what those changes would mean expressed in an offspring.

Ok, in a previous post in this thread I complained about the changelings not being able to grab Jack on multiple occasions prior to Beverly's distress signal, but I think I found a reason for it (somewhat) that works for me. Jack, being connected to the collective on a subconscious level and being able to detect changelings (as we saw in a previous episode) knew when people were coming to take him away. When he saw the changelings masquerading as Fenris rangers, Klingons, etc...he just knew something was off about them and, on a subconscious level, knew they were trying to take him somewhere.
For the record, without sharing any details...out of curiosity I manually checked IP addresses of the poster in question and two recently warned posters whom I assume were the ones insinuated to be his duals. They're from three different countries.
There are ways around shared IP addresses, of course...but sometimes a new poster with a negative attitude toward the show is just a new poster with a negative attitude toward the show.
And I might add, we could reasonably expect a few of those to pop up at this stage in the game.
And I apologize for the insinuation. The other trek community I recently left had a massive rash of trolls coming in under sock puppet accounts and it’s a bit reflexive
This season seems to have brought out a ton of new folks, both positive and negative. Probably because of the TNG reunion nature of S3. Some are loving having the gang back together and others think how they've got the gang back together isn't how they imagined it, so that is "bad writing" or "character assasination" (just like the previous two seasons of this show, lol).
The TNG cast deserved a better send off than Nemesis. Now they're finally getting it.
The fans deserved better than that dumpster fire STD or the lackluster first and seconds seasons of Picard. Now we're finally getting it.
I am happy. When the final episode drops I'll enjoy every minute of it. When it's over I'll be a bit sad. But I'll always be happy because we got at least 10 episodes of actual Star Trek.

Indeed. It's interesting to see all the positive memories around TNG and people sharing their experiences. I don't have the same antipathy towards Nemesis as others, but I am glad for the TUC style wrap up for this season. I feel like it builds on some of the themes of the past two seasons.
While I didn't expect to see the TNG crew this way, well they go a decent send off, even if unearned.
There's that thing again.
Discovery, Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, Prodigy...all Actual Star Trek.
Yeah, I may put DSC at the bottom of my list of live action Trek series but it's actual Star Trek. And occasionally pretty good.

I'm enjoying this season of Picard, primarily because TNG is my favorite Trek. I thought the first two seasons were terrible. On the whole I like DSC way more than Picard.
Still, all of it is Actual Star Trek, regardless of whether or not I like it.
