Star Trek Picard season 3

[The Question]

I think that's overcorrection for how the Galaxy-class was shown to be as fragile as a Christmas tree ornament. lol Anything and everything could destroy those suckers. Brush a nacelle with another ship -- KaBOOM! Give it a computer virus -- KaBOOM! Call it a filthy name -- WahhhhhBOOM! lmfao

re: tomorrow's episode. Get to the point.

Every other NuTrek serial has been met with impatience. They've done well to hold off this season, but last week was classic NuTrek mystery box padding.

What is Jack and who is Floaty Head? Answers tomorrow.

Or at least answers to one of them.

And as they've been stringing us along for 8 weeks, I hope the reveals are worth it.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

someone on somethingawful with a history of leaking stuff from production has revealed the the identity of floating head will make you scream "fuck OFF" at the television so that's something to look forward to

 

[whisky]

Is it Kruge, and he's been constantly regenerating ever since Kirk kicked him into genesis?

 

[CaptainWacky]

It's Jack himself from the future.

 

[Dr Dave]

It's the floating head from the original Power Rangers.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

It's SHINZON -- a bit of his DNA floated away and found one of the 100 Changelings who still hadn't made it home yet.

 

[whisky]

It's Khan, he merged with the genesis device, the created the great link.

 

[Colonel Kira's Left Tit]

Oh lordy, I sincerely hope this thing doesn't completely shit the bed.

 

[Cassie]

It's the leader of the Bubble skeleton head things in Legend of Zelda.

 

[StarMan™]

It's SHINZON -- a bit of his DNA floated away and found one of the 100 Changelings who still hadn't made it home yet.

Someone pointed out Vadic's knife is the same one as Shinzon's.

Theory confirmed.

In truth, what reveal would make us go "Damn, didn't see that coming! Ingenious!" Random alien? Pass. Future version of anyone? Pass.

When the shot of Picard's corpse was shown, there was a shadow across his face where his Borg facial implant was attached. Also, his Irumodic Syndrome was diagnosed after his assimilation. Data stated that Alton Soong (or someone at Daystrom) questioned the diagnosis - and we know Jack has also been diagnosed.

Perhaps Jack is the culmination of a decades-long experiment - the first fully biological Borg. Once activated, he will be able to assimilate others via his telepathy / superpowers. The key is Fronter Day - all of Starfleet gathered in one place (good lord); Jack assimilates every Starfleet ship simultaneously.

How does OG Picard fit in? Perhaps the key to activating Jack lies within his corpse oh I don't fucking know.

Fortunately somewhere back in the mid-2000s I excised the whole Shinzon thing from my brain. Poked a hole, cut it out, flushed it down the toilet. That's a long-winded way of saying I have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[StarMan™]

The tagline for Nemesis was: A Generation's Final Journey Begins.

Ha.

Crazy to think TNG cast has been milked for longer than TOS ('66 -> '94 vs. '87 -> '23).

You know I was just thinking about that the other night as well while continuing with my TNG rewatch. And also that the episodes I'm currently watching are 32 years old, and that Star Trek 6 back in 1991 was a pretty big deal because that was the 25th anniversary, and et cetera.

HAHAHAHAAHA - No. Fuck you.

Yeah, same ol' NuTrek plot padding thru and thru. Pack in all the reveals in the penultimate and finale.

God, there was a lot of cringe dialogue. Worf - WTF man?

-----

Vadic, to Seven: "How fitting it is for you to stay and witness."

Yep - I'm doubling down on my Borg theory.

 

[The Question]

Seems pretty obvious to me.

The Changelings extracted the part of Picard's brain affected by Irumodic Syndrome. Not so they could use the Irumodic Syndrome bits but so they could make Picard's corpse occupy-able by something.

The same something that's hitchhiking in Jack.

That something being a Pah-Wraith.

So that a Pah-Wraith can walk around in Picard's corpse, impersonating Picard, during the ceremonies on Frontier Day.

The female voice saying, "Find me" is pretty easy to identify as Nana Visitor's voice. Obviously she's not playing a Pah-Wraith. Kira is somehow the one who closed the red door -- or a Prophet in the form of Kira is, which now that I think about it makes more sense.

Which means two more old timer appearances:

Nana Visitor portraying a Prophet, and either Avery Brooks or Cirroc Lofton as Sisko / "The Emissary".

There. Now, I feel confident in saying that this post won't spoil anything for anybody, since most of y'all consider me to be wrong on every topic by default.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Doesn't "drop" on Amazon UK until tomorrow...but I subscribed to Paramount+ last week and could probably watch it today.

But I won't. Out of spite.

 

[whisky]

It only goes up to episode 7 on there, Picard drops on Amazon at midnight but am I too tired to wait up for that.

And Faiths.
