yep, I reported something that clearly was wrong, my apologies.
It’s a really impressive piece of work and I’m glad they are keeping it around this time.
I don’t follow them but they’re on point: a starship in the 24th century is supposed to be a place to live in, something where you can be comfortable and actually feel at ease *in addition* to being utilitarian. TNG understood this, the following series mostly didn’t. These new ships with shiny floors and dark lightings doesn’t seem like nice places to live in at all.
I was saying that the later DS9 galaxy class ships had the added phaser strips, not a third nacelle!
I guess I've never had a wife die tragically in war, so I have no idea how I'd feel about it, but I'd figure I wouldn't hide my wedding ring and be flirty with an ex-girlfriend. But admittedly, that's totally hypothetical. lol
I think having Riker be pretend-jealous was supposed to be a reference, particularly since in the only other time we see the two of them in a hypothetical future, they hate each other because of how they left things with Troi.
This all seemed a bit too easy. I feel the same way about the instant young person Borg transformation as the big time jump in Westworld Season 4. Such a big enemy victory without having earned it enough to make it hit hard.
Like they said "What's the worst we can make things", then skipped all the steps to get there.
Step 1. Collect underpants
Step 2. ???
Step 3. Everyone is instantly assimilated!
It also seems like Starfleet should have been smarter than to network all their ships like that, when their greatest enemy are master computer hackers. Why would they create a single point of failure for the entire fleet? Maybe Battlestar Galactica didn't survive into the 24th century, but you'd think somebody, at some point in the line would raise red flags and point out why that is such a horrendously bad idea.

It was mentioned that Geordi was extremely opposed to this, in the form the the younger daughter stating "against my fathers objections."
I guess Changelings that had made it to Admiral, or assistant to an Admiral, lobbied strong here. Breaking down any cognitive reservations that the leadership probably had.
But yes, it does make them look like idiots, almost as idiotic as gathering the entire fleet in one place. Although, I think we have to retcon that.
neeed to find out what happened to axum and korok!
It’s more in keeping with ‘tough little ship’ and their earlier interactions this season. Worfs conversation with Deanna is just as much in keeping with when she was helping with Alexander, and the conversation with Riker is in keeping with their blokey banter.
Yes... and furthermore, what is the point of destroying the Excelsior, or even planetary defenses? The Borg's whole thing is to assimilate and grow, not to just indiscriminately destroy. and what happened to "traditional" assimilation...
Still it should not always be the primary focus. It hasn't been in Picard. Except these last two episodes which had the F and D. My favorite Star Trek...DS9 has barely any Enterprise. Lol....
The wreckage of 40 ships at Wolf 359 begs to differ. As long as they can assimilate the whole, the effect of eliminating individual obstacles is negligible.

Here's a great article (variety) about the D Bridge set rebuild for anyone that is interested.....

Fine, destroy the ships etc, but assimilate the people on them? (and hence the humans assimilated at Wolf 359 on Unimatrix Zero...) - Like there was no point in killing Shelby or the people on Excelsior, I expected assimilation
How old are the Lower Decks crew in 2400? Are they assimilated right now? Or would they be around 40, old enough to avoid it?
You think they got invited to Frontier Day?
The newly assimilated officers didn't seem to have the full capabilities of drones, missing their implants etc. It is entirely plausible that without all the implants being installed (which we have seen the Borg do manually several times before), they lack assimilation tubules as well. That would leave them with no possible course other than to neutralize the unassimilated. Once they stabilize the situation, they can begin installing the implants and the armor plating on the new drones as per standard procedures. The Collective is all that matters, individual drones are just resources, entirely expendable.
The folks at Starbase 80 must be wondering what the hell is happening outside.
