Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x07 - "Dominion"

[Cortez]

Nope, not at all

Ok, send me something that shows them killing a sentient being together in cold blood. And that's what it comes down to really.

 

[Cortez]

And shooting them or stabbing them

 

[fireproof78]

This isn't good Star Trek.

Still Trek.

Which is ok. I didn't get much I liked in the 90s, except for TOS reruns, and the TOS films. I'm pretty ok now with characters who engage me.

I'm sorry they don't for you. Been there multiple Treks ago. I hope something else strikes you.

Both of them were completely fine with committing genocide on the Borg before they got to know Hugh.

And killing Vadic would not have been in cold blood.

Ah here, I give up. They had Vadic contained.

 

[Tuskin38]

So? She’s still a clear and present danger to the ship, their son and the Federation.

Either way both of them were troubled by their decision

 

[EyalM]

I didn't go over all the comments, but Picard could have pointed out that to Vadic that the Dominion was no stranger to genocide. They tried to blow up Bajor's sun and we saw them inflict horrendous lethal viruses on plants that disobeyed them.
Also, it was a solid, Bashir, who risked himself to get the cure.

I'm tired. I really am. Just wanted to mention this episode but could go back to the first few episodes where Vadic treated the Titan like a yarn of wool, and her the pussy cat, constantly toying with it until the head department told her to grab it. And we're still there. Now. 7 episodes in. It's boring and terribly written. What character has grown? Who has changed in any fundemental way? It's crap

That's logical.

Vadic is not logical.

 

[Lord Garth]

Three pages of this? Really?

 

[vedek loki]

I'm surprised they didn't go there. That's a close connection to the TNG crew, especially when Nachayav chewed out Picard later on.

That would only have reminded the fans that the show needlessly killed off Hugh in Season 1, which would reignite their anger all over again.

 

[Tuskin38]

What character has grown? Who has changed in any fundemental way?

Jack has.

 

[Krog]

BEST EPISODE OF THE SEASON. Period. The intensity of Vadic's pain really gives credibility to her hatred. Still, lots of questions to be answered. But overall, amazing. Also, the Federation giving a cure to the Changlings doersn't make what they did right.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Obviously, there's something off about Picard's original genetic structure, something he's passed on to Jack. Vadic suggested that Picard's diagnosis of Irumodic Syndrome was actually something else... so, what might that be?

I doubt the writers would shoehorn in some random incident from before TNG or after Nemesis that the audience has no knowledge of. What does that leave? I don't recall Picard ever having his genome fiddled with by anyone, unless it's going to be something silly like prolonged exposure to someone from the Q-continuum warping human genetic material.

What could Picard have passed on to Jack that makes him telepathic?

I'm suspecting it has to do with benign nanoprobes left over from Locutus. He's passed them to Jack, and when Jack touches someone, he passes his nanoprobes to that person, and is able to hear his/her thoughts, like a mini-Collective. I'm wondering if the face that Vadic talks to is the disembodied Locutus? Perhaps he wants Picard's body back. He also wants Jack's ability to pass nanoprobes via touch, foregoing tubules, so the Borg can stage a massive incursion of the Federation on Frontier Day. There'll be lots of handshakes and back pats and meet and greets of Starfleet personnel for the Borg to acquire new drones. And, if this is the case, combining Locutus with Jack, these will be human looking drones, not technological nightmare zombies

Also, I was afraid they'd killed Shaw for a second when the Changelings threw him out of the turbolift. I noticed him crying, however. I'll bet his PTSD from Wolf 359 is kicking in, thinking he's losing the Titan. My hope is, next episode, while Worf and Raffi are rescuing Riker and Troi, we see Shaw go into kickass John McClane mode, taking back the Titan

 

[mattman8907]

I will say this, seeing Shaw shed a tear after Vadic takes control of the Titan was disheartening to see. He was probably sad that he got his butt kicked and couldn't do anything to save his ship and whats left of his crew.

 

[Cortez]

Jack has.

I wish Jack wasn't in this show. Good actor but deathly dull character who is just pushing the story along. Horrendous story that it is

Yeah i thought, oh is this the end of Captain Shaw cause he was leading the defense against the Changelings while Seven was on the bridge. I'm like you go Cap but at the same time i was like don't die. we need your dipshit chicago ass.

 

[fireproof78]

Jack has.

Jack.

Geordi.

Picard.

Shaw.

Not bad for a bunch of nobodies.

I want to see him on the offense next episode, taking his place among the greats of Starfleet captains
