I believe the replicator matrix complaint was a reference to the Short Trek with Spock and Number One where Number One said she created her own replicator matrix

piratepilates posted:Edit: ok seriously what the hell. I haven't seen a single post about the weird romulan samurai and sword fighting in next week's preview. Does no one else find that weird? Does no one else think all the swordfighting is just a little strange? Maybe the romulan samurai? Why is he a samurai? Why did he choose the hair of a Japanese anime character if he's a romulan refugee? Why does the next episode look exactly like a reused Stargate SG1 Script, complete with an alien world that takes place a few hundred years ago but filmed in Vancouver? Why is no one talking about this?????????

nine-gear crow posted:I think she was better as Dajh than she's been as Soji so far, but this is also like one of her first acting jobs ever according to IMDB, so in that respect she's doing phenomenal as a relative newcomer. Especially when she's able to hold her own against Sir Patrick Stewart. Same, I like Dajh so much better than Soji it's weird even though I don't think she's really playing them that differently. I'm still on the Dajh-is-not-dead train even with what the triangle lady said this past week (which could easily be another red herring) Snow Cone Capone posted:drat, I hate that idea more than I hate the idea that Oh is MU Oh is Men in Black, she's really named O, and the sunglasses were to protect herself from the memory wipe she gave Allison Pill

skasion posted:The 2004 senate election in Illinois that launched Obama’s political career was contested with Ryan’s ex-husband, who lost in large part because someone leaked their divorce papers about how he tried to get her to go to weird sex dungeons and poo poo Jack Ryan (yes that's his real name) dropped out after the divorce leak and he was replaced with carpetbagger Alan Keyes (fresh off criticizing Hillary for being a carpetbagger in New York) who Obama rolled over without breaking a sweat, understandable if you've ever heard Alan Keyes talk.

I hope Bruce Maddox got plastic surgery to look like Data and Brent Spiner plays him and that's also the source of his debts and why the crew has to save him. For the costumes just say that everyone on Freecloud dresses like that normally.

Catching up on all the drama here, I liked the episode and thought it was nice to see places that aren't just Federation flagships, it makes it more DS9 than TNG. I thought it was clear that Freecloud isn't in the Federation (nor was the Romulan colony from last week) so don't get the money complaints. Picard definitely knew what he was doing the last scene. Seven definitely was dating Vajazzle. Vajazzle might not have been cast to look like Troi but Frakes or the costume team definitely saw it and set it up that way. Someone several pages back was confused about the Borg implant black market, there was a whole Voyager episode where Ferengi were scheming to steal 7 of 9's implants before they even got back to the Alpha Quadrant so they got to be worth a pretty penny (or pretty latinum?) even now with a bunch of ex-Borgs running around. I think the Picard show called them XBs. Everything bad seemed to have happened 14 years ago, that seems to be the 9-11/Brexit moment for the Federation and people either gave up or fought losing battles and became embittered. I'd complain about it being too long but it's been 19 years since 9-11 and we are still stuck in forever wars so I dunno Eyepatch Picard rules One thing that is both good and bad is the show dumps you off in the middle of this world where we've missed 25 years and doesn't bother to explain a lot of things, which is half of the major disagreements I'm seeing. Not everyone is like me that will watch this stuff 2-3 times and pick up things that are easily missed. The other thing with characters acting out of character is a more nuanced argument. People can change in 25 years but you can make a case for how much they would have changed or how much they would have changed with circumstances that happened the way the show did.

Janeway both seems like she'd fit in perfectly with the new Starfleet but also seems like she'd immediately get kicked out for going rogue with a bunch of ships and blasting up some Tholians when Starfleet refuses to do anything.

Tiggum posted:Picard needs a ship so OK, he hires Rios. But he's a chartered pilot, so why is he risking his life for this crackpot mission? Raffi believes in the conspiracy but she was ready to abandon it to reconnect with her son. She only came along for the ride to Freecloud. So why didn't she just take a different ship? This can't be the only one available. And why now? Picard offers her evidence that the conspiracy is real and that galvanises her to... give up?] This one is easy if you've ever interacted with people like Raffi. She's giving up on the conspiracy to try to reconnect with her son because there is a baby on the way. But she's not really giving up on the conspiracy, she's just putting on a front. Give her a few weeks and she'll be back in the thick of it and ignoring all three of them, and her son knows it. This is in addition to whatever fancy drugs she could get on Freecloud that aren't even Federation legal (I am not a writer on the show but drugs that "expand you mind" that she would take to try to crack the conspiracy better would be the obvious choice of fake things to get her addicted to) She hitched a ride on the ship because it was free and she was going to hire Rios anyway because of the baby and her need to stay off the grid (she will undoubtedly think they have been after her the past 16 years because she knows stuff), and there is no way she wasn't already working on things just off camera, we saw as much when Picard gave her a data dump. We even got a new thing, the Conclave of Eight, which is either MJ13 levels of crazy conspiracy, or even better, international conspiracy between different big powers with Klingon/Romulan/Tholian/Gorn/Cardassian members.

Deep Space Nine interacted with literally thousands of ships but episodes where Chief O'Brien and Chief Engineer Sporkx cooperate to get the USS T'macco's dilithium chamber working aren't going to make the cut for an interesting episode (outside of a C-plot where Nog trades a bunch of things for a new chamber) Sporkx going on a shooting spree because he realized that logically war is a force that will lead to our own obliteration would make the cut. If you remember older TNG episodes where they interacted with various starship captains, most of them were just boring dudes who they had conversations with via video phone after they dropped the Passenger of the Week off before their ship flew off for Survey Mission #141244142. Most of that got phased out by later seasons when the pacing picked up, but DS9 used it when Bashir met the lady who was ahead of him in medical school and found out her dream assignment that she got to pick over him was yet another boring survey mission. I do think they have leaned too heavily into Evil Starfleet lately, but the version on Picard seems to have an actual reason that fits with the plot while Discovery just had Section 31 running around for namedropping reasons.

This episode was pretty good, the first few minutes dragged and the ending was a tad rushed but overall it was really nice to see the stories finally collide. Picard dealing with his Borg trauma and the interactions with Hugh were golden. This was the first Soji/Romulan guy stuff that wasn't eye-rolling. Can't wait for next week!

My guess with the 8 stars and the extra android is instead of twins the androids are produced in groups of 8, which means 5 other living Sojis out there. My other guess is season 2 deals with the mystery bads who show up after android critical mass

Astroman posted:I've said this before, but the opportunities to bring back TOS era characters and explore them are big. Every admiral and captain on TOS could show up younger. So we could see Decker, Ron Tracey, Mendez, Garth of Izar. Same for movies--Morrow, Terrell, the unseen Nogura. Because of the merger, anyone from the JJ movies is available-like an alternate, not as bad Admiral Marcus could be played by Peter Weller and he can direct too. Robert and Sarah April from TAS would work. T'Pol from Enterprise should be alive, maybe even Shran-how long do Andorians live? Plus USS Enterprise crewmembers like Boyce or Piper as the CMO would be logical. Scotty is fair game too--he's established as older than Kirk and in beta canon he was always on the Enterprise pre-Kirk. Here's what's going to happen. Scotty will be introduced on the ship, probably as a starting main character since he was hinted at in Discovery. Early season 2, Lt. Kirk is going to show up as a frat boy lothario who hits on Number One and probably bangs a minor character who hasn't been cast yet. He then learns responsibility from Pike. By the end of season 2, every TOS main character will have shown up for an episode or more, even teenage Chekhov somehow. Then a new spinoff is announced: Star Trek: Year Four, which is about the 4th year of the five year mission with the original crew, all recasted. We'll also get updates on what happened to all the Pike-era crew throughout that show, and at least one joins the Kirk crew but somehow doesn't look years older.

The Nebula-class USS Prometheus was captained by a Lt. Commander (played by the actor who hated being Data's first officer in the Sela episodes, notably that TNG episode not only had Lt. Commander Data given a command but La Forge was the original choice, all temporary) Of course, the reason here is probably because Sisko was only a Commander at this point and having a captain on the ship would have outranked him and they'd be in charge. Also since watching the animated series on Nickelodeon is one of my earliest Trek memories, seeing an Edosian was cool

Doesn't fit in as well, though, and the titan was at least already established by name and its association with Riker. The old Franz Joseph designs from the Star Fleet Technical Manual that got used on screens in some films/TNG but never had canon ship appearances (outside a few novel covers iirc) would be cool, I drew the hell out of them as a kid

IIRC they fought with production to get most of the crew but they wouldn't pay for everyone, Koenig got to write an episode as a consolation prize. They did get Mark Leonard and the Harry Mudd guy back though. They used to run reruns on Nickelodeon which is where I first saw them as a kid

Brainstorming a bit but: The season's themes seem to be environmental catastrophe and collapse of a centralized government. The dilithium disaster is coded as a mystery, but could easily track to it's original reference as fossil fuel and a return to it's scarcity, compounded by real world fossil fuels causing climate change, here they just got used too much and all blew up or something. Along with that environmental theme, Book is some sort of green jedi who can grow healing plants and talk to animals, he's even saving endangered species. The collapse of the Federation is probably best tracked through the movie The Postman (this also tracks with the USPS being dismantled by our dystopian leadership), with disaster compounded with other things causing collapse of the centralized government and cities walling themselves off until a guy shows up in the uniform of the past with a reminder of what was lost, and a way to communicate. This inspires the young and give nostalgia to the old who remember the old ways. With all starships exploded, millions/billions dead, and little to no way to reach other planets, people are going to freak out no matter how utopian it is. Eventually bad dudes pop up to take advantage of the situation and there isn't anyone to smack them down, and things fall apart. Of course, I could easily be reading too much into this, and it could all be Michael The Burn-ham's fault again.
