Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

According to the J! Archive it was a Double Jeopardy question worth $1200, and the category was "Set in France."

It still bugs me that Worf revealed that Section 31 stopped being the Federation’s secret wetworks division and became an open part of Starfleet Intelligence. That means that the “good guys” have no problem working with a division that specializes in murder and genocide. How can Starfleet and the Federation still claim to be ethical and moral?

That ship has sailed:

"I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all... I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing, a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So, I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it."

Oh, I've never considered Sisko a hero because of that episode. I think he's a piece of shit, actually.

It can still work if the one-two punch of the Dominion War followed by the Mars incident led the Federation down a darker, more militaristic path that included openly acknowledging Section 31 and allowing it to grow in both size and influence, and then maybe the aftermath of PIC season 3 helps break that malaise and leads to a more hopeful 25th century.

Section 31's strength as an unknown was that they were able to do things in service of the Federation that could not be done by Starfleet because they were too icky for nice people to do.

So what exactly is the point of Section 31 if they are a visible arm of Starfleet Intelligence?

Looks like it wasn't all wine & roses on the PICARD S3 set:

Filming Star Trek: Picard Season 3’s Reunion Was “Quite Depressing” For One TNG Icon

Everyone is stuck behind their screens. I’ve come all the way from bloody England, and you can’t come out from behind your scenes to freakin’ talk to me? So yeah, it really changed the whole atmosphere on set. Very, very different. No one talks. Everyone’s looking at their screens.

hey screenrant, you think maybe she said screens, not scenes?

 

[Alexander Corrino]

I've always said that I'd love to hear the tea spilled on what it was like shooting this show. Glad that Sirtis is kinda confirming my suspicions here that things weren't as nice and cozy as everyone pretended.
