Just personal bias and possible schadenfreude.
Agreed.
Not certain. Doesn't matter. Saru had the authority and the only person he was answerable to for his decision is his superior.
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x01 - "The Next Generation"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
So we're in this part of the thread now. It's like Clockwork. But anyway...
Between Raffi's background as a Starfleet Intelligence Officer, her connection to Rios, her substance abuse issues, and her stubborn passive-aggressive asshole son (who I'm sure is justified in how he feels, but still, speaking as someone who lost his mother at 18, I personally think he's making a huge mistake... ), I think Raffi was the most interesting new character introduced in Season 1. There's so much potential there that hasn't (or hadn't) been realized yet.
I like to think she gained her experience during the Dominion War, and the war is supposed to be referred back to in this season. If anyone remembers "The Siege of AR-558" and how those soldiers were, if you take that a step even further than that, I can see Raffi going down the path she went down. Even Quark says, "This isn't the Starfleet you know."

If I remember from some of the press/background blurb, Crusher had joined the equivalent of Space Doctors Without Borders. So the Elos being so named is the usual "hint" to that for an audience to do a quick google on.
I'm sorry, did I watch an alternate Picard season 2? La Sirena becaome the core and first ship of the Kinder, Gentler Borgrati and is likely still part of the diamond borg ship's core. She has a similar ship due to its mass production as a Kaplan F-17 Fast Freighter (and naturally a good reuse of the enormous and expensive set) but its definitely not the same ship.
Its certainly the same set. Lol
Because there was the Prime ugly ship and then the Confederate ugly ship. One went to the Borg, the other to Raffi.
S1 was 2399. An indeterminate gap between S1 & S2 and another between S2 & S3.
250 years back from 2401 would be 2151, the launch of the NX-01, another Earth-centric event. Whatever they're celebrating feels much larger than just an Earth based event.
Yup. I hope they make a Riker flashlight action figure. Both a tng one and a older Riker from picard. Each with the correct period flashlight.
Bullshit.
Seven being a commander in Starfleet would also suggest a date much later then two years after season 1. I don't know that we know how long Starfleet academy training takes, but a maximum of two years (less if season 2 takes place in 2400) does not seem like enough time for Seven to graduate and work her way up through the ranks.
With 2 admirals backing her up, plus her Borg "knowledge", she might have been able to skip a bit, if not all of the Academy.
We don’t actually know if they are still together or not: that detail could be part of her cover or true.
who can say if they are Earth years, anyway?
Once again she was not drummed out of Starfleet. She's undercover and working for Starfleet Intelligence trying to track down some missing technology. There was more to her storyline in the episode than that on line.
I’m not the one in love with Raffi.
Based on the responses here, only you seem to have that problem.
Sob stories always make someone pretending to have a drug problem look even more pathetic to a dealer/mark.

it was a pretty tight close up of her hand.
It's painful to see the denial. I can already tell they are madly in love.
I attribute it to 'things happening behind the scenes' during the episode. After all, the other 1000 people on the Enterprise-D were busy too!
Probably the fact that everything you say about the character is wrong.
Really like the first episode.
By the way, was District 7, the place with the Rachel Garrett statue, that got portaled a location on Earth? The architecture and the environment looked a lot like that might be the case.
Another thing about the attack: Is it possible that instead of using the cutting beam in combination with the tractor beam, like it was implied before, the Borg use a similar technology like the portal weapon for planet scooping?
