Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x05 - "Imposters"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
It's more greenish in between, but otherwise the same shot with the same shuttles (from 4 different episodes)
Not that that's unusual in Trek or generally in TV, of course.
He remembered she worked for Intelligence and made a guess.
he does call it an old piece of spy craft. He’s probably seen something like it before.
New Trek series: Everybody Hates Jean-Luc.
Bajoran culture is half a million years old.
It's not a surprise that the earring is a data chip, its a surprise that the data chip is compatible with anything on the Titan, since it might be a thousand years old.
At some points I can imagine the earrings were used as wireless virtual identity papers or currency, until the Cardassians started using the earrings to track or target the resistance.

The four changelings on the Titan-A that were taken out -
a) two were from the Intrepid (the two that were with Ro);
b) the other two that beamed to Deck 10 - were they always on the Titan? (The transporter effect was a Starfleet signature, and an intra-ship beaming would be possible).
At 44:25 - Mura says "Intrepid is raising shields". The two changelings found Jack at 45:55. If going by known technology, one should not be able to beam through shields.
It is assumed the two that were with Ro had a beacon or something that allowed them to be "beamed off" the doomed shuttle (with transport inhibitors) back to the Titan.
Are there changelings still on the Titan controlling the transporters? Ensign Foster was the transporter technician... Is this why Jack had visions in the transporter room? Where were they going to beam Jack with the transport beacon?
I also found it odd that the phaser fire didn't alert security, where in the previous shows it did?

i doubt that was a real bajoran earring.
But even so…interfacing with alien and ancient computers happen every week on Star Trek.
I thought it was too. He must have watched many spy films.
After the science officer builds an interface.
I suppose as an archaeologist, interfacing with ancient tech is 90 percent of Picard's non-Starfleet vocation and education, unless he only cares about pottery?
Why does it have to follow that the earring itself is ancient, just because the culture is?
Or maybe the earring itself is old, but was chipped by SF intelligence much more recently and that’s why it’s compatible with Federation tech?
I don’t see the need to make things more complicated than they have to be. It’s all pretty straight-forward regarding the earring I think.
One robot with five roar edges?
I simply can’t read through 50 pages of comments, so forgive me if it’s been addressed, but was anyone else distracted by the horribly cheap looking wig they put on Ro?
I had no idea why they simply didn’t style Michelle’s own hair until someone told me that rumour has it she only had a couple of days to film her scenes as she was working on New Amsterdam simultaneously. They claimed that her nose ridges were added on with CGI as she simply didn’t have time to sit for hours of makeup. Has anyone heard anything that corroborates that? The nose actually barely seemed visible at times, at least to my eyes. But who knows.
By the way, I also noticed that the earring Ro gave Picard was not the design she wore during TNG…it was Kira’s earring! I recognised the design immediately. Production error or upcoming plot point (and possible cameo by Nana Visitor)??

Hmm, this has me thinking. Was Kira Ro's handler? Is Odo's great link feeding her info?

Ro's original one wasn't a data chip
Which had to happen before the neighbors invent telescopes
I also first thought they shouldn't have future tech, but then it occurred to me that it's been a while since they got the mobile emitter, it was studied since they came home, and it was never stated when the thing was invented, only that they had it in the 29th century. So it could've been invented just a few years later
It was just odd that he only looked at one of them while talking to both
But do you need crime for utopia to exist? Can there only be utopia when you also have crime? That made no sense to me.
IDIC in fact would include everything, any type of criminal, any type of anything
At least 1 or 2 also accompany the F in the trailers.
I’m a few years from my study (erm decades) but one of the sociological concepts was the ‘society of saints’ — essentially Utopia. No crime at any rate, no deviant behaviour. However, because of the human sociological need to have group that is ‘other’ and a group that is ‘us’ you would get to the point where something such as wearing the wrong colour shoes would result in harsh penalties. Crime and punishment is a key function of society, and is one of the older functions as well. TNG did it with Wesley and the Death Penalty if you recall. (Episode name eluding me, I just woke up.)
Deviancy isn’t just about crime though, and it’s more a spectrum about how far you are from what might be considered observable norms. Which change over time, but there is usually a balance.
Riker: When has "Justice" ever been as simple as a rule book?
I know that ep gets a lot of hate but I like it. And not just because of the bouncing boobies and booties.
