Spoilers Season 3 wild speculation

Yes. Which is odd because she didn't seem to sense them in Lore himself (it would have been really handy if she could when he was impersonating Data in "Datalore"). Maybe her "sensing" emotion in Data isn't using her empathic sense, and instead Betazoids have a natural affinity for detecting emotions through micro-expressions and body language that in Troi's case was heightened by her psychological training? She's picking up on "emotional signals" without actually reading their minds – as she says in PIC: "Nepenthe": "Soji. She appears fully human. Her face, her voice, her body language all express clear emotion. The poor thing seems traumatised. But I sense nothing. I can't read her."
And Riker commanding the Enterprise-D from the anti-time future in All Good Things...
MY LATEST WILD SPECULATION which I have also posted elsewhere:
I have to say, I think I would prefer the connection Picard and the ultimate villain not be a new/old Borg threat. Even if they use something from the Borg and the villain is something else, I would prefer that. In the end though, if it’s well constructed, well performed, and moves and intrigues us… I will enjoy it.
I also like the idea that the irumodic syndrome is not what they always thought it was. I don’t want Star Trek heroes to be superhuman/villains (e.g. Kirk, Spock, and Khan in Into Darkness), which is alluded to by Kyle Sullivan of Trekspertise in “¡Mando vs Disco!”. I would not mind it if at some point during the run of TNG Picard was infected/inseminated with something that laid mostly dormant and looked like irumodic syndrome. That being still resides in his original body and has some connection to his offspring, Jack Crusher. Or it now resides in Jack. It would have been interesting if it was the key to the new Changelings establishing a new Great Link, explaining Vadic’s interest and the loss of the Great Link as an explanation for her/their pain and insanity.
I can imagine the Trek-consistent optimistic resolution includes Picard and Crew helping the Changelings heal and reintegrate. If it ends that way, I can accept Picard and Beverly Crusher wavering in Episode Seven only to find their way back to their own positive values by the end, renewing our confidence in the Roddenberry vision. This would be consistent with the serialized story telling that stretches out the story-telling over a season. The stakes for a 10-hour movie have to be large enough to include major moral quandaries, e.g., Section 31’s immoral torture and genetic manipulation of Changelings, comment on Federation/Starfleet unwillingness to give them the cure at the end of the war, and (at the deeply personal level) two parents willing to do ANYTHING to protect their son. By the way, that premise was also alluded to by Rocker in Episode 3 when flashback Riker tells Picard he was amazed by discovering that he would “burn the world” down for his son.

What if the body of the human Picard has been kept alive all this time and his mind or a copy of it was merely transferred to the golem? Maybe Picard will end up returning to his human body by the end of the series.
It seems to me Jack is trying to create a collective. He was able to order Sydney to do Kirk like combat moves. Why Picard did not realize it when Jack said he heard peoples voices in his head when Jack told him is a mystery.
I bet the Titan gets destroyed to prevent it from being compromised.
I think hanger bay 12 is the E-D saucer docked to the star drive section of the… wait for it…
USS Challenger!
Geordi’s old ship, but he fixed up the paint job and now it’s the E-D all over again!

Anyone got an idea for what will eventually happen with the Enterprise-D and F?
Guess they are supposed to have a bigger part to play during the finale.

They will probably all end up on the repaired Enterprise D. Calling it now.
It was called many, many pages ago. Everyone who's been watching the season and seeing what Matalas is doing has already concluded that, yes, the crew will reunite on the Enterprise-D (which is the mystery object in hanger 12 mentioned by LaForge's daughter).
The Enterprise has been sorely missed during this series and hearing the words USS Titan isn't just enough...and surely it's got to be the Enterprise E now?

Honestly, I haven’t missed the Enterprise. And it’s the F now.
I haven't missed it by a long shot.
No? When did it become the F? I must have missed that somehow?
JB
Sometime between Nemesis and Picard season 3. The F appears in a trailer.
Thanks, Campe. I never saw the trailer.

Also on a computer display in Episode 1 and in Ro's files at the end of that episode.
