What loose ends would you like to see taken up?

- Tom Riker
- The Hera
- the Jurati Borg
- Armus (people kept bringing him up during Picard and now I'm curious)
- whatever tf Bev was doing for 20 years

There's a bunch more. Lots of threads.
 
What did Data do to grab Picard’s eye when he was picking his senior staff prior to taking command of the D?
 
I think Picard liked unique people.

Geordi... uses a visor to see. Plus, his dialogue in "The Next Phase".
Worf... only Klingon in Starfleet.
Data... only android in Starfleet.

We know how he picked Riker from dialogue in "The Pegasus", Tasha from his dialogue in "Legacy", and Crusher requested the assignment. Troi is the only one that is the real unknown.

They TOTALLY should do that. The Doc is one of several VOY characters whose fate remains unresolved.





By my reckoning, a character is a loose end unless they are either dead, or have reached a happy ending and shouldn't be disturbed further. So, I count both the Jurati Borg collective and the Voyager crew (save Janeway, Chakotay, Paris, Tuvok, and possibly Neelix) as potential loose ends.

1) Somebody tweet and remind whomever's showrunning Starfleet Academy.

2) Don't forget Seven! :)
 
Where did the recording footage of Spock speaking to Picard in "Unification" come from that Burnham watched in Discovery?

Was Data recording it though his eyes and it was stored somewhere prior to his death in Nemesis? Or was it from a bodycamera on his combadge? And if it was the latter, then do all 24th century combadges have body cameras?

Why Q didn't tell Picard he had a son when he made a big thing about dying alone.

I thought Q hinted at it during their conversation before Picard went to tell the others it was time to go? Of course nobody watching at then knew Picard had a son, except those involved with the series.

The dvds survived to the 32nd century. :hugegrin:

Just another way Discovery plays fast and loose with continuity. Also, the writers cared so little about titles they didn't call their Anomaly episode 'The Anomaly' to distinguish it from the Enterprise episode. All the other series writers have been careful with this sort of thing. Sloppy.

It's the Romulans. They monitor everything.
 
If the Borg Baby's fate wasn't settled onscreen, I guess it's a potential loose end, given that minds are changed sometimes. For instance, Wesley was back in Starfleet in unused "Nemesis" footage, but his canonical fate (seen in Picard S2) was different.

Unlike my prior fandom, where the writer regularly had online chats, and whatever she said was considered canonical, Trek seems to go by the rule of "it's not set until it's been onscreen". So I guess, theoretically, the Borglet could turn up in some future series with the revelation that they rode home with Voyager in 2378.

It is a safe bet, however, that if/when the Borglet's ultimate fate is revealed, orange sauce will not be involved (unless Sfdebris is hired on as a staff writer. Then, all bets are off).

Also...What about the warp fields breaking down subspace???

That's another of those "they talked about it, but it wasn't established onscreen" bits. Pretty sure it was something like "by creating a variable geometry warp field, ships are able to fly at high warp without issue". With Voyager, which was in mid construction when the issue was revealed, they accomplished this by working in retracting nacelles. With later ships, they redesigned their warp drives from the ground up to be "green", so retracting nacelles weren't necessary.

Thanks for this explanation. I had been wondering about that! I figured they were just 21st century-ing it and pretending it didn't exist.

Was the sword of Kahless found by the 32nd?

Easy enough to do. If Worf dropped it off in deep space, just extrapolate its velocity, exact trajectory, and time elapsed. And since Trek sensors can detect a mouse farting a light year away, a big piece of duranium should me easily located.
 
And since the Rio Grande was the ONLY runabout to survive the show from beginning to end, it probably had the transport logs and location of where it beamed the sword into space. (Unless Dax and Worf deleted all the logs.)

The only hitch is it's in the Gamma Quadrant.
