Good point. But Alton Soong could always have modeled the androids after his ancestor. OR, what if the female family members all look alike, just as the male ancestors do?!

Could be the genetic engeering Adam does at this point leads to specific genetics being dominate in the Soong Family. The Males look like Adam, the females like his daughter. He did make an off handed comment about trying Qs offering on himself first.
 
The EMP effect of nuclear detonations is vastly overstated in media. Realistically significant pulses only occur under specific circumstances. As well, most critical infrastructure is hardened against EMP and government critical infrastructure is basically immune to it. Where it would do the most damage is unshielded consumer electronics, but as for data loss most of larger corporations' data centers are shielded.

Without getting into a thread-derailing argument, I'm simply going to state that you are grossly misinformed on the matter. The pertinent data is out there to be researched, and the vulnerabilities (as well as our failures in addressing them) are well documented. That's the last I'll say on it here.
 
Maybe, but they could have had the doctor appear again, without doing that ICE bus thing.
 
Even worse thought. The Confederation Timeline is the original timeline. Picard and Company alter the future and make the Federation timeline. Q is trying to fix what Picard and Company did and restore the original correct timeline. An idea so out there, I'd be very disappointed if it's true.
 
They’re probably going to get the doctor when Jurati goes full Borg Queen and runs off and someone inevitably gets hurt. Then Rios either finds her or simply transports her. The latter is certainly more dramatic, so that’ll probably be what happens.
 
Another thing I thought of. This Q could be from an earlier point in time than the Q who visited Picard. He might have tried to fix the timeline himself, figued out he couldn't, and saves Picard and crew to make sure things work out the way he wants.

Again, unlikely Q is so noble, but I figure I'd say it, in case I'm right.

It's called "pulling a Nostradamus", which is to say enough things and you'll eventually be right about something ;)
 
Right here, Romulan characters.

Plus the holographic UI is very close to ones we saw on the Borg Cube in Season 1, both inspired by the triangle UIs seen in the TNG Era shows.

I can see this being what happens. Arik is likely his great-grandson so within three generations the new genetic template is well in place and for the next 200 years after that male Soongs look like Brent Spiner, much to the amusement of onlookers who know the family for more than a few decades.
 
Why is Picard treated as such a dottering old man sometimes for the benefit of explaining things to the audience? I mean, the woman is clearly *not* and cannot be Laris? So why does he keep talking to her like she is?

Because this show is complete trash and the writers are terrible.

That's why.
 
I thought this Q line was most interesting: "Seems I have, uh, taken time for granted of late, and now she's threatening to abandon me" -- does this reference the trouble Q is in? his lack of powers?

Maybe Agnes uses BQ "species 149" powers to resurrect Elnor? (There's a scene in previews where Elnor returns to La Sirena wielding a sword, with Raffi and Seven in the background).

The doctor definitely returns in a future episode, as there is a scene in a preview where she kisses Rios on La Sirena. There's also a future scene where Picard is down on the ground, so maybe the doctor helps Picard somehow? There is also a future scene with Tallinn in the mariposa clinic, white creepy eyes, wearing the headgear device.
 
You know I was thinking Soong's forcefield which also looks like the one keeping the pollution back in the Confederation future might explain why San Francisco and other places weren't destroyed in the coming Nuclear War. Perhaps they had force fields around them when the bombs started to hit. Might even be why all life on Earth was't completely killed off.
