I really hope Jack went and found the Borg in the Azure nebula. Would be a nice nod to the Destiny trilogy.
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x09 - "Võx"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
It would be nice, but, well, that nebula didn't look very azure, now did it?
Ashamed to say my brain never even made that connection when I was reading that story. For some reason I was picturing it as red.
No worries.
For whatever it's worth, we actually saw the Azure Nebula onscreen in VOY "Flashback." It's the one the Excelsior was in when it tangled with a Klingon battle cruiser while trying to rescue Kirk.
No worries.
The sad thing is, I think I caught that once when watching that episode which makes it all the more embarrassing.
I'll hand in my Trek badge and cheap Chinese replica uniform and be on my way
Riker was saving the earth, Picard and snapping Shelby back like a first year cadet before Janeway had even encountered the Borg. He’s Riker. He KNOWS.
I just wanted Geordi to turn to Data when Shelby was killed and say “She DID err, Data, she did err”
Ah, and so it became clear that there is another reason why the First Contact theme has been used this season. 
Looking forward to next week's conclusion.
Oh, I loved that so much, so another 10. The end scene on the Ent-D was like putting on a comfy pair of old shoes. Perfection.
Another great TNG character bites the dust, and whilst Shelby didn't quite have the length of time onscreen like Ro had, I laughed at Riker and Picard commenting about how Borg-like the upcoming maneuvers were going to be.
Bad apple Captain of the Titan redeemed himself in death by calling Seven her actual name. I quite liked him in a few episodes this season
I loved the offhand comment about apparently what Worf just have done to the Ent-E, meaning that they couldn't use it in their plan to have old tech.

Depending on how exactly the episode is written, it feels like it might be odd for them to never (visibly) leave the bridge.
On a side-note, I really don’t understand why they’ve been avoiding virtual sets. I guess the simple answer is that they just don’t save as much money as you expect, but for starship bridge scenes like Shelby this week, or Riker in the season one finale, tight shots on one person in a chair with the background out of focus, it seems like the perfect use for a greenscreen or LED wall to show a bridge that isn’t a lightly-redressed standing set behind them. Like, we could’ve gotten a suggestion of the -F’s shopping-mall of a bridge, maybe even more flashes of gunfire to make Shelby’s assassination seem a little less awkward, like she was tied to the chair doing a hostage tape.
Vadic didn’t seem to have physical access to the Borg, When Jack arrives in the nebula, there’s nothing there. It’s only after they knew he had come that the cube transwarped in. Judging by the state of the interior, that cube might not have had the power for more than one trip, so they weren’t going to travel to the alpha quadrant in-person until the plan was ready, lest they get discovered and shot down before they took over Starfleet.
I’d imagine the Queen being on the other side of the galaxy is also what necessitated Vadic’s esoteric method of communicators. Long distance, untraceable, unfakable.
It was so obvious that was gonna happen from the first time we meet him.
I would say it's terrible although I didn't hate it.
The plot is like they pulled Star Trek and Sci-fi words out of a Scrabble bag. They could have just had a 10 episode show where the crew meet up for a tour of the museum for Rikers birthday and it would have the same effect.
And I'm a big TNG fan.
Something was not clear. Was it Jack who sent the final signal to assimilate Starfleet personnel? Or is his role just to be a leading Borg, like Locutus, and the signal did not require him?
If he sent the signal and he survives, his trauma should be even worse than Picard’s. Probably everyone over 25 in the fleet died and unlike Picard he had a choice; he did not have to go to the queen.

Again, they didn't take DNA. They took tissue. Most humanoid aliens seem to come from the Chase protohumanoids, so everyone we saw probably has similar DNA.
He was Captain of the E before it was decommissioned
Then it was striking it, starting with a bang, and letting it fade slowly. Now it's just fading in and fading out, a fart sound like those used all the time in trailers since inception, or in Dark, or 1899.
I loved it, i don't care if its a nostalgia fest.
Seeing the D was great, although come on Geordi, you were keeping it as a surprise? When for? I mean Picard has died once. Of course it worked for the plot and you know its going to kick ass.
Can't wait for next week, going to be sad when this is done. But then, there are always possibilities.

I got the impression it wasnt decommission but destroyed the way Worf said it wasnt his fault?
Also, im sure its been mentioned but 77 pages is a lot to read, VOX was the name of a character in Shatners The Return.
Even if Picard just waited a little longer before telling Jack, the attack/takeover wouldn't have happened or at least the Changelings would have had to find another excuse to bring the fleet together.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!!!

His time aboard the Enterprise-E was brief, having stepped down after the incident above Kriilar Prime.
