Spoilers Soji may have accidentally killed ____

[Kamen Rider Blade]

Given what we know about Irumodic Syndrome and how it's a Borg Biological Modification of the Brain to be a biological signal Receptor/Transmittor/Transceiver for Borg Subspace signals, depending on which variant of the Genetic Modification you have, thanks to the events of ST:PIC S3.

Major Grin does make a good point:

Spoiler: Major Grin - Soji's Beacon Accidentally Killed Picard by Overloading the Reciever in his Brain disguised as Irumodic Syndrome in ST:PIC S1

Soji may have accidentally overloaded / triggered the Irumodic Syndrome and not intentionally killed JLP with her massive signal to summon the Sentient Mechanical Species from another dimension.

Her signal beam was awfully close to the "La Sirena" and it was very powerful.

Stray signals may have overloaded the receivers capability to process data, ergo the subspace radio or whatever signal transmission might be what killed JLP's biological body.

Nobody, at the time of ST:PIC S1, knew enough about Irumodic Syndrome, especially the reality as to what it is. We didn't learn the real details about it until ST:PIC S3.

It's ok. He got better.

Really shocked at how much thought some fans put into things.

Really, after all these years, this shocks you?

But anyways, does the logic make sense as to why JLP's Irumodic Syndrome would act up at that time?

Not every coincidence has meaning.

They needed Picard to die as a solution to a possible future disease instead of just letting it go. Also they wanted to kill Data again because that was what fans wanted... I mean that's what Spiner wanted, so killing Picard and uploading him to the simulation gave them a way to do that. It was certainly convenient for S3 that they went that way, but even so, it was not really necessary.

 

[TerryTrek]

Soji was about to intentionally commit mass genocide (lol)... so her just killing Picard was a much preferable alternative to what could have happened.

I took it as an age thing.

I doubt that very much.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Meh, it would have eventually killed hin anyway.

They got a new puppy.

Or the enormous physical and psychological strain Jean-Luc had been putting himself under in the three or four weeks leading up to the finale of "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part II" might have done him in no matter what electromagnetic signals Soji sent.

His talk with his old Stargazer doc near the start made it pretty clear another trip to space was going to shorten his life expectancy greatly.

Ye gods, I loved that scene - and everything those early episodes did to add to TNG's world. I love that introspection.

Really? Are you kidding me?

 

[TedShatner10]

Do most people still un-ironically take Major Grin seriously, like he clearly does himself?

Yes.

 

[TedShatner10]

Yes.

But why? His nitipicking over NuTrek is increasingly getting more pathetically desperate and contrived...

Same reason why most YT channels are taken seriously; they hit the talking points people agree with.

 

[Richard S. Ta]

I doubt that very much.

Yup.

As soon as I saw ‘Major Grin made a good point’ I mentally left the building.

 

[FederationHistorian]

Maybe the fault is not with the parody account. Maybe it’s with the plothole that’s so big you could fly a Borg cube through it.
