Spoilers Who is the mastermind in Season 3 of Picard?

[The Overlord]

Who is the mastermind in Season 3 of Picard? Vadic is taking orders from some mysterious floating head, who wants to deal a mortal blow to the Federation on Frontier Day and seems to have the ability to harm Vadic, so this person is powerful and has some sort of grudge against the Federation.

 

[fireproof78]

The Brain.

Vadic is Pinky.

 

[NCC-73515]

Dukat, who melted in the fire caves, but is kept alive by the pah wraiths

 

[Vger23]

I am.

 

[Mage]

I am.

Spartacus?

 

[Visitor1982]

I hope it's Dukat and Jack Crusher is taken over by the Pah Wraiths... Those red eyes...

If Sisko returns, then this would be the best NU-Trek season ever! But, I know, it's called Star Trek - Picard, not Star Trek - Sisko.

I kept thinking it was going to be Armus after we first saw him. I know a lot of people have been suggesting Future Guy from Enterprise, which would fit in terms of actions.

However, after watching the recent episode, and reading a lot of twitter posts from Trek producers, Inhave a new suspect. Over the past few days, there have been some complaints and accusations there that the showrunners don't talk to each other. A producer on Prodigy has rebutted this at least once with, "We do talk to each other, keep watching."

Spoiler: Prodigy spoilers

I think it's a Prodigy antagonist (The Diviner), or at least one of his people. They hate the Federation, and tried to disable Starfleet using a virus to turn ships against each other before.

Characters also keep mentioning Janeway, and the Enterprise E was heavily damaged toward the end of Prodigy when the virus started to spread.

 

[Charles Phipps]

I hope it's related to Picard and not DS9. Because, well, it's Picard.

 

[Qonundrum]

It'd be lovely if Picard himself wa-- wait, they did that routine for "Nemesis"...

It's probably not the neon-80s prawn from "Conspiracy".

It's less probable that Maxwell Smart is behind this caper, sorry about that Chief...

The Pah-Wraiths are a possibility thanks to the glowing gold eyes and all...

Or Moriarty found a way out of his cube from "Ship in a Bottle" - would he really be back for one episode as a brief cameo for no reason? Don't rell me Barclay's little gizmo had a wireless means to connect to a larger computer system. Or was and disabled, until Moriarty and/or the verbal control interface he was talking at figured out how to get around that.

 

[corb]

Solanogen based lifeforms.

 

[The Old Mixer]

Whoever/whatever the head is, I'm sure it connects to whatever Jack is.

 

[Campe]

It’s Bob. From Starfleet HR. Tired of all of the forms he had to fill out every time one of the Enterprise crew died or was abducted or whatever. Personal grudge against Picard.

In triplicate.

 

[Lord Garth]

Jack in the Box.

 

[SJGardner]

Peanut Hamper.

 

[James Cole]

I'm thinking it has to be something from TNG to balance out the Changelings.

I kept thinking it was going to be Armus after we first saw him.

Spoiler: ??

Todd Stashwick did seem to name drop Armus in his stream with Robert Meyer Burnett, and we know there is some reference to Yar.

 

[Gepard]

Candle Ghost is back, and he's seeking revenge on Beverly.

 

[Ovation]

Candle Ghost is back, and he's seeking revenge on Beverly.

Apparently, ghosting a ghost is very serious business.

 

[Unimatrix Q]

Apparently, ghosting a ghost is very serious business.

Who you gonna call?

Ghostbusters appearing in the season finale confirmed

But seriously, i already thought, since the first appearing of the hand/head entity, that it could be Dukat, but after watching Vadic in the teaser for next episode, i'm almost sure it can't be anyone else.

 

[TimeIsAPredator]

Spartacus?

No I'm Brian and so is my wife

 

[Racefuel]

Apparently The Face's identity was included in the closed captioning in an episode that Paramount had to go back in and patch over.

Spoiler: No clicky de-spoiler

As was the Borg queens name apparently
