Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x04 - "No Win Scenario"

It's so ridiculous that in an episode where there's use of alcohol as a mind-altering substance, there's objection to marijuana still being in use in the future. Why is what was legal in the late 20th century United States the only stuff that would still be in use 500 years later?

 

What the hell was that thing about Vadic’s hand? What was that thing she was talking to? So far that’s the only intriguing thing about her. She’s been boring so far.

Frakes is such a great director. Too bad his film career never took off. Then again if it had we probably would not be getting these very well directed Trek episodes from him.

Really beautiful scene with the birth of those creatures. The visuals and music were quite moving.

The final flashback in LA Ten Forward was heartbreaking.

8/10

 

No. It's been mentioned in multiple interviews that Riker and Troi are having marital problems due to them not having fully dealt with the death of their Son.

 

I don't think people are objecting to cannabis still being around in the 25th century, just to the slang being unchanged. Remember how in First Contact Geordi didn't know that "leak" was slang for urination? Starfleet are a bunch of squares.

And a perfectly in-character moment for Picard that shows the limits of his fealty to the Federation. See, season 1? That's how you do a deconstruction.

 

I regret this already... but screw it. I'll get by with three hours of sleep.

 

It's too bad Shaw's issues weren't related to the Dominion War. But, I know: PICARD.

 

To be brutally honest, I like that it doesn't have to do with the Dominion. I was wondering what the Hell was Shaw's problem with Picard. Now, it unfortunately makes sense.

I feel like Shaw should know better than this. Especially since he has Seven as a First Officer. He's got some type of hypocrisy going on with him. Can't wait to see how he seems to mentally compartmentalize things. He's probably insisting that she be called "Commander Hansen" because he wants to forget she's a Borg.

 

It's also possible that her knowledge from the Borg has references to it, since they've assimilated considerable amounts of information about Earth and humans. Also, since "pot" was first coined as a slang term in the US in the 1930's, and Picard's Dixon Hill detective novels take place in the 1940's, it wouldn't be unheard of for people in this timeframe knowing about it from such sources.

 

Wolf 359 informs Shaw’s attitude towards Picard and Seven. It’s a two for one so it makes more sense than the Dominion War.

 

So Seven and 2024 did get a room?

SATIE: It must have been awful for you, actually becoming one of them, being forced to use your vast knowledge of Starfleet operations to aid the Borg. Just how many of our ships were lost? Thirty nine? And a loss of life, I believe, measured at nearly eleven thousand. One wonders how you can sleep at night, having caused so much destruction. I question your actions, Captain. I question your choices. I question your loyalty.

 

Interesting that Picard fought the Hirogen. I would've liked to have seen that Star Trek movie, back in the early-2000s.

 

I guess you weren’t a fan of Sisko doing it either?

 

If the kid wasn't with Beverly, then probably.

But since the kid was with Beverly, I can see why JLP would name him Jack.

 

Maybe we'll see it in Prodigy
Wasn't Worf promoted to commander in DS9? It happened while he still was a Lt Cdr...

 

Every time they were hit by the wave, the lighting was fixed. I only wish they were hit by more waves.

 

Not impossible

 

It's a interesting place to hide for a Changeling.

Wrap yourself around her hand, then when she needs you, slice off the changeling to talk to it.
