Elnor is back with the gang, so either he and Seven catch up with Picard in their newly acquired Borg cube, or he uses the spacial trajector to teleport to their location.

So how does this have four "9" ratings already? Did it have some kind of pre-release?

 

[DaveyNY]

With all the stuff going on now, CBS should release the last two episodes this week.

Give us something to take ours minds off the virus mayhem.

Count me in amongst those that feel that episode discussion threads are going up too early.

I wonder how many of those Star Satellites are in orbit above the planet?

Can they keep an armada from reaching the surface?

 

[Gonzo]

It is good to have a place to discuss the trailers for the upcoming episode.

Its just that a few try to be clever and give early ratings, they will probably be reset just before the episode airs.

I have no problem with the early thread creation as it does serve a purpose.

We are all expecting to find a planet with loads of synths like Soji or Data, we may be in for a surprise though.

What if they all left because they knew their cover was blown.

Agreed. Episode thread should go up Wednesday evening earliest.

How about an single, ongoing "on the next episode of Picard" thread, and most importantly, no f-ing poll.

 

[Spock Must Diet!]

Today's preview pics at the official website show a well kept lab with the two-circle logo, but with comparatively primitive robotics in the background. No civilization shown, only mountains in the background. Also, a more dark and dingy basement-looking area.

As an aside, I don't see this arc concluding this season.

The first picture with Picard, Soji, Aggie, and Elnor, the wall behind them looks like an aged Borg cube wall. If they are the synth planet, why the Borg wall? Is budget reason or a story reason?

Because when someone makes an active poll for an episode that won’t even be shown for a week, like the OP did, then people start acting like idiots. Ratings polls are supposed to be made right after an episode airs, not a week before it airs.

I was wondering about that, too. I couldn't quite tell whether it was the interior of a Borg cube, or some other location that looks similar.

I've done two things: 1) Cleared the four votes that had been cast, which appear to have mostly been accidents; 2) Caused the poll to close. One of us mods can reopen it closer to the episode dropping.

Honestly, I too feel like the episode threads are going up too early. If one wants to discuss the trailers someplace other than the current episode's thread, the general discussion thread is another option. But while some might like to avoid them, next episode trailers are a legitimate part of the episode that they're included in, so technically we should be able to discuss them openly in the thread for said episode.

Soji looks like Lara Croft there.

I'd never be so bold as to tell you how to do your job, but maybe since CR isn't doing Picard, you should nominate one person to be in charge of the episode threads. Seems like different people starting the threads each week is part of the problem.

Fortune favors the bold.

(Finally, a DS9 reference.)

I'd tend to agree on that last point, but I don't feel like it's a mod decision to determine/enforce who should post the episode threads.

 

[T'Bonz]

Well you could do it and pin it on Wednesday. Unpin it before the next episode.

Trailer threads and such the posters can do. But this will save you grief with polls and such.

It's not obligatory, but it's a good idea. If you do so, announce it to the posters in here first.

Well Elnor is there so they could be back on the Borg Cube but if so where is Seven.

Otherwise it would indicate that the Synth Planet could be an early Borg experiment.
