Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

Just listened to an interview with Joe Menendez, the director of episodes 2.7 and 2.8, on the 7th rule podcast. One interesting tidbit was that the scene of the Borg Queen touching/assimilating Agnes' cheek was shot for and originally intended to be in 2.7. The showrunners/producers felt the scene worked better at the end of 2.5 so they moved it. Also, some of the Rios / Teresa dialogue in 2.8 was in Spanish due to suggestions from the actors.

He also mentioned that he's seen the criticisms about season 2 taking place in LA in the past.

Which probably means they will time jump quickly and sort out the consequences later.
 
I'm hoping Elnor is cast in a spinoff alongside Seven and Raffi.

As I said a few posts back, I like how he brings out Raffi's maternal side.

I'd be okay with that only if he was recast. The actor obviously has quite limited range.
 
I'm disappointed Q's ailing condition is seemingly unrelated to the divergence. When we were first made aware something was off, it hinted at something much larger going on beyond a mere change in the timeline. At least, that's where my imagination went.

Instead, it looks as if this divergence really is nothing more than a bog standard change the past routine ala. First Contact.

As for how Q is dying - that's a non-trivial point for me. There was an entire episode dedicated to Q immortality and their race's inability to naturally terminate their own existence. I need something from the writers beyond Q's nebulous comments about the temporal horizon growing dark yadda yadda.

Of course it’s a non-trivial point. It’s one of the many, many riddles that need answers in the final two episodes.

I kind of have the feeling that they aren't going to explain the "how" of this. He just is. I do hope they mention whether it is affecting the entire continuum or if he is the first, and so far only one, to die.
 
Yep, they created a tornado that appeared out of nowhere to kill Amanda's parents and that was a weather anomaly nobody detected at the time.
 
I can't remember. Please enlighten me as to your correlation.

Understandable. Star Trek V is pretty much a repressed memory for many Trekkies.

What does this have to do with Picard?

Nothing in this episode connects to Star Trek 5.
While I just accept it as part of a plot, a story line, and not requiring modern shows to be tied to shows made decades into the past, it did irk me when Q and Guinan did mention that line(s) about the "uniquity" of humanity, "living in the past". Sybok's actions in that movie would make that comment...troubled. Look at Lwaxana....even worse than Humans. Worf's behavior and attitude unlike another Klingons due to trauma....and all that pain Sybok managed to release...from non-Humans...

Sorry, man. Still not following.

I should rewatch Star Trek V though. Haven't seen it in at least 25 years.
