When I woke up this morning I was thinking about it some more and coming off the high of last night I think I would rate this a 6 or 7. I can’t change my rating, however.
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x09 - "Võx"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I mean Picard was probably the least liked up until this season. Sure there's a lot of Discovery hate too, but it also has a reasonably large fanbase, especially since S2, whereas Picard seemed to have found a few fans. It never seemed well liked by older fans either, and its S2 was not as well received. If anything Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks are the fandom darlings at the moment, and I think for all the love Picard's 3rd season has gotten, the mystery box nature means it's likely to be largely forgotten when Strange New Worlds S2 starts. I doubt we're getting the Michelle Yeoh S31 show at this point, because well she won an Oscar, and she's probably going to be out of their price range for anything but a limited series.
I guess it depends on how well things go, but I wouldn't mind a Star Trek show with the Titan bridge crew and without Matalas.

One of the main reasons the entire plot of Nemesis doesn't work is that the Romulans had no idea that Picard would become as significant as he did, even with the latest possible year for Shinzon's apparent age. They could've resolved this by explicitly stating him to be aging faster akin to the clones in Star Wars, but apparently the only modification done to him was a trigger that would swiftly age him up to Picard's current age in a few weeks or so and instead ended up killing him.
Cause she cheated, and not in the good way Kirk did on Kobayashi
Yeah, I thought of that too. So much wasted time. I suppose the character development, connection with JL, etc., might help him break from the Queen or something. But really might as well have given him up earlier!!!
But they did take over all the ships, all except that one as far as we know.
Ya but plot and death and timing don't matter.
This isn't actually a TV show just a live action "Star Trek The Exhibition"
I'm not sure that this specific plan was in mind when Picard was turned into Locutus.
Locutus was special, he spoke as an individual and he had noticeably less implants and modifications than other Borg specificially to look less horrific to humanity at large, this genetic alteration to have an organic receiver may have been in service of this.
This whole plan hinged upon Locutus being freed from the collective and going on to have a biological child and having a means to modify the transporters on every Starfleet vessel.
I think the more likely scenario is that after their near extinction at the hands of Admiral Janeway the Queen learns that Picard had a son and realized what the genetic alterations done to him could mean being passed down to a child.
Maybe the Queen learned that Picard had a son from assimilating Admiral Janeway, she traveled back in time from 2404.

There’s always Tasha Yar
There is a reason for that. The episode is a masterpiece.
Troi really hasn't been used well this season. Not appearing for most of it. Then when she has her big moment, she runs. I've read that Sirtis wasn't happy with her role this season. If that's true, I can see why. Hopefully, she'll have good moments in the finale.
Let's be real. They didn't know what to do with Tasha. Michael Piller knew what to do with Shelby.
Hardly.
They took over those ships because of the combination of things mentioned.
And functionally speaking, they have probably just taken over the bridge and are using that to lock down the rest of the ship. Something which would have lasted all of thirty minutes without the rest of the fleet being around to act as both a manpower reservoir and blow you up threat.
I've really enjoyed this season, and was totally hyped for the last two episodes. There were some great moments in this episode, but ultimately the reveal in the first 5 minutes killed it for me. I probably half-expected (or even more than half) it to be the Borg, but I hadn't realized how much I didn't want it to be them until they were revealed. I then spent the rest of the episode in a mood, which even the last 5 minutes couldn't penetrate. Killing off Shaw seemed fairly anti-climactic and was done in arguably the most predictable way possible.
Seems most folks liked it, and happy days to them, but I really didn't.....

Or it would've been another great way to work in the word "fuck." As in, "Fuck off you hypocrite. Call me by the name I've chosen and is meaningful to me."
Not a fan of her calling him that given her own story this season.
The Queen is the iromoduic Syndrome.
A copy of her personality/program stored in the virus as biodata.
What changed is that Picard died.
Back burner, back burner, back burner... Shit! He's dead!
We were definitely going to get onto that any day now.
It looks that way, but some things out weigh personal responsibility, like reporting on a potential major threat against...the Galaxy.
I agree she's been under-served but it may be because Sirtis was only in the US to film for a short time.
