Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

There was a part acknowledged to have been cut that clarified Jurati did not take over the Borg-Borg and stayed out of history's way until 2400.

 

I feel that was implied fairly strongly. I know it was a big part of the conversation here at the end of season two.

 

Yeah, not everything needs to be explained.

 

I guess I'm in the position of having several problems with season 2, but liking it far more than PS1 or Disco or SNW.

For me, that wasn't a top level sticking point. But for many viewers, it was... including people who had advance screeners to season 3, and gave some odd veiled spoilers in hindsight.

 

There's another video going around saying words to the effect you NEED dilithium to go to warp.
They are using Cochrane's ship as an example and saying that it should not work

 

Dilithium is a power regulator right? To make sure the AMM reaction doesn’t go too kaboom or whatevs.
Technically nothing to do with warp.

 

You are correct but there's so many of these "real fans" doing videos

 

Need a certified real stamp.

 

Maybe Google can get on that for youtube content.. Make it like Twitter

 

PRODUCED BY A TRUFAN™.

Look for the Interstellar Union Label

 

Right, but you gotta make sure the things left unexplained don't leave the audience stretching their faith.

 

On the topic of unexplained things, I wonder if anyone remembers that scene in Season 1 where Seven temporarily becomes a Borg Queen to retake control of the Artifact, and afterwards ominously says "Annika still has work to do" or something to that effect before Seven is returned to normal.

Strangely enough despite Seasons 2 and 3 reusing the Borg yet again and again, I don't think either of those actually followed up on the implications of that scene, nor does it seem likely to be connected to Season 3's finale as the Borg Queen's disheveled and basically insane state does not match up with the calm and controlled manner that "Queen" Seven speaks in during Season 1.

 

I'd love to see Seven as the queen, I mean as proper Borg queen but without physical changes

 

I believe they're called "plot holes" .

No more or less a fan than any of us .

The biggest piss off for me was the Borg Cube doing jack shit in the climatic battle. Imagine the Borg Cube on Starfleet's side, coming in to save Picard. Or it rising from the planet and fighting the hentaitenacles crossing the red portal of robohell. Getting pulled in or forcing it back in some last stand .

The Borg cube was wasted and it will always piss me off.

 

I didn't feel that way. Everything was easily explained.

 

FX breakdown for Season 3

 

It's funny how PIC 2.10 arguably fits with LD 1.03 showing a Borg child receiving a Federation education in the future, presumably by happy accident of writing. But simultaneously, PIC 3.02 introduces a Titan lineage initiated by a Shangri-La-class Titan unlike the Loknar-class Titan featured in the background of LD 2.02.

Missed out on using “”Hello there”. Fail.
