"Clarence Boddicker" plays the President of the Federation, who LOOKS like he is a Klingon, but for some reason is not.

Kurtwood Smith. Also played the Cardassian head of security in DS9 (in that Odo flashback episode) and the captain of the massive time-travel cannon ship on Voyager.

Michael Dorn plays Kirk-and-McCoy's Klingon lawyer

Named Worf.

One of the later Worf's ancestors. A joke they made into canon.

Was reading TVTropes (self inflicted injury, I know) for ST:Picard and saw this in the "Your Mileage May Vary" section :

Quote

"Endgame", the finale of Voyager, also ended with the strong implication that the entire Borg Collective had been wiped out once and for all

It doesn't imply anything of the sort ?

MMaRsu · « **Reply #2529 on:** February 19, 2020, 12:42:16 PM »

It's just their network of transwarp shit being blowed up right?

VomKriege · « **Reply #2530 on:** February 19, 2020, 04:44:01 PM »

Yeah I remember it was made pretty clear that they destroyed a transwarp hub (out of 6 known to Seven of Nine or something). I guess you could infer that Borg efforts to reach the Alpha Quadrant would be set back from it.

I suppose the confusion is that Borg Queen get destroyed too. But didn't that happen in First Contact too ? And the whole body (at the very least neck down) is basically just expandable parts both in First Contact and Voyager ? And Voyager had the Borg Queen role go back and forth between two actresses, so it's actually fairly ambivalent that there's one Queen instead of a (or body avatars of) Queen out of several. Or that destroying her would wipe the Collective.

At any rate you'd expect a character to say out loud that the Borg Collective may have been wiped if that's what the writers are trying to say, considering how high profile and prominent they are to the franchise.

I thought that was a pretty outrageous thing to read on TVTropes (not that I think the standard is high or anything).

nachobro · « **Reply #2555 on:** February 28, 2020, 01:07:53 PM »

its a little strange to be sure, but there's not too much of it and part of the motive seems to be them showing off that they are on a streaming service and can do whatever they want. also this show isn't really as bound by starfleet military stuff. so that's part of it.

As much as I like Picard, they are right though. The show is fucking stupid compared to TNG

chronovore · « **Reply #2563 on:** March 01, 2020, 09:23:29 AM »

I dunno, I feel like I'm not being spoon-fed the entire story. I feel compelled to do a re-watch of eps. 1~3 just to see if I can figure out more of the post-TNG worldbuilding.

I seriously don't complaints about this show.

"The plot makes no sense!"

The back story makes no sense! The back story is explained episode by episode.

It really just sounds like people mad it's not the same kind of format as old Trek which is really just sour grapes.

"Why is Picard so different?"

In what way?

D3RANG3D · « **Reply #2572 on:** March 01, 2020, 10:58:47 PM »

The plot is explained but its nonsense.

Picard picked a fight with that Romulan Senator forcing Romulond to kill him that is not Picard, Picard would have been devastated that he caused that shit.

It's like you didn't even watch the show. He didn't pick the fight. In fact, he tried to defuse the situation. The senator is the one that forced him into a duel. The first thing he did was throw the sword to the ground in defiance and refusal to fight. The fight thing Picard literally does when they're on board the ship is lecture Elnor in anger that there was no reason to kill him.

What happened on the show is literally the exact opposite of what you just wrote and yet you demand the rest of us believe that the story is nonsense.

D3RANG3D · « **Reply #2574 on:** March 01, 2020, 11:06:40 PM »

Oh please he knew it would escalate to that and thats why its not Picard and its bullshit at most he wagged his finger at him and went about his business.

Himu · « **Reply #2575 on:** March 01, 2020, 11:06:43 PM »

In every single combat scenario Picard has had his gun set to stun. He has chided two crew members (Seven and Elnor) about murder. This is a completely nonsensical criticism and Picard has very much been in line with prior Federation principles of past shows.

D3RANG3D · « **Reply #2576 on:** March 01, 2020, 11:09:19 PM »

Yet he gave Seven two phaser assault rifles with little to no hesitation.

Himu · « **Reply #2577 on:** March 02, 2020, 01:16:27 AM »

Anyways, let's actually discuss the show.

Episode 6 was fantastic.

The reunion with Hugh, the Borg reclamation project scenes were the most positive Trek in DECADES, the tension and build up to Soji's dream. I like all of the characters and how it's a show about the struggle to find good in a harsh universe. I love this show and I'm excited as FUCK for the next episode.

It also looked like Soji's father looked sort of like Bashir. I'll be giddy if that's the case.

"These aren't monsters, they're victims."

RLM complainers: WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE POSITIVE TREK AGAIN reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Also reusing the old Hugh actor

And this week we get to see Riker and Troi
