Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x09 - "Võx"

[Nerys Myk]

They already killed Shelby. I don't want another New Frontier character killed.

Wesley and Robin Lefler? That's Season 4.

Their experience with mind controlling alien tech might come in handy,

deep cuts and modest retcons. And a lot of continuity fixing and quite little continuity breaking.

I'm genuinely scared that some folks think this sort of stuff makes for good storytelling.

Do you…like Star Trek? The Enterprise is inextricably linked with it in the cultural consciousness.

Is the Enterprise necessary for Star Trek? There are now many seasons of Trek that do not feature any version of that ship. I'd like to think the franchise is greater that just this one thing. It seems unnecessarily small to limit things in this way, having a checklist of objects and characters that must be included. I'm more interested in the exploration of ideas than the ship name.

There is also the thing that Ashley Judd disowned Trek. Frakes spoke about it a few years ago at a convention.
Its a shame really because she and Wheaton were really good together.

It was a novel series by Peter David in the late 90's. I haven't heard anything about this Legacy show.

*whispers* its a joke...haha...

Just get the Collective itself addicted to video games. Maybe a Ferengi one that has a gambling-based lootbox mechanic. They won't be hurting anyone anytime soon.

So is Earth on fire like Mars now?

Not be confused (ahem) with a certain STAR TREK novel trilogy, Legacies, that came out in 2016, not too long ago.

Or the video game

 

[mattman8907]

After finding out that anybody using a transporter was implanted with Picard's DNA, I'm trying to picture an Earth where there are cadets, civilians, anybody under the age of 25 being turned in mindless zombies. The Borg really step up their "A" game.

Contract negotiations are starting though...

Can't assimilate ashes.

No, but Star Trek and a ship named Enterprise are pretty closely associated in the culture and it is a hallmark (just one, not the only one) of what makes Star Trek Star Trek.

Their orders were to kill the unassimilated.

With fire?

 

[JoseNoodles]

So is Earth on fire like Mars now?

It's more hickory-smoked I would say.

 

[thribs]

With fire?

With torpedoes and phasers. I say fire because that's how they described Mars after the attack.

Might wanna evacuate the Borganic drones first.

Wasn't the Enterprise supposed to be named the Yorktown?

I don't think there are any on Earth. Just on the networked ships.

Yes they didn't have the money but it does look like a lot went for the Ds bridge

the replica set already existed, they didn’t build it for this show.

and it's CGI.

It’s the same CGI model they did for season one: it has the same error in the bussard collectors (three instead of two for each nacelle).

Also yes STEs special effects were top notch. Their CGI for that time still holds up perfectly today. A great show.

not really, it looks pretty fake to me, especially in the first couple of seasons.
