I’m not sure it’s entirely voluntary on Jurati’s part. I’m almost certain I saw a very brief shot during an older trailer of her being mindmelded by Oh.

“Activate Emergency Snitch Hologram.”

Starfleet ideals were laid out in “The Corbomite Maneuver,” and in most of the things Picard has ever done in his entire life. The administrative brass of Starfleet, however, don’t seem to have ever upheld the ideals of their own organization.

Am I remembering right? I seem to recall a very quick clip in one of the trailers for the series of Jurati being mindmelded (presumably by Oh). I suspect that what Jurati thinks she saw/knows was implanted by Oh for her and her co-conspirators’ own agenda, and might not necessarily be true.

Do you think Mot is on Freecloud, or is that just one of his franchise outlets? :) 

THANK YOU. Someone who has been paying attention for the last 54 years.

Nah, fuck those guys.

La la la.

Where were you when Admiral Cartwright called Klingons “the alien trash of the galaxy?”

Excuse me, by “hack writer” are you referring to the current head writer and showrunner, a Pulitzer Prize-winning, Hugo and Nebula Award winning writer, and one of America’s best writers?

So what do you think would have happened to Seven upon returning to Earth. That this Utopia (which never existed, by the way) would instantly accept a former Borg? That she would feel at home there, no matter how she may have been viewed? What sense of purpose would she have had? She has found her sense of purpose…

SO MUCH THIS.

It was really good, thoughtful writing firmly grounded in Trek history. Chabon and co. really do know their stuff.

Voyager returned in the year 2378. According to the PIC timeline Icheb would have died in 2386.

Nor is it really a utopia. Sure, it’s great that human society has eliminated prejudice (among humans, at least), war, poverty, much disease, crime, etc. But the galaxy remains a dangerous place, as we’ve seen, and society is not perfect and neither is the Federation (just ask the Maquis). We’re facing these issues in…

Also, my USB charger isn’t loaded with P64 to actually help land me on the moon.

My old phone is starting to wheeze, and I’m going to have to put up with Face ID on the next one, which I hate. I will likely turn it off and just enter my long passcode every time, because all it takes is for a cop or whoever to forcibly hold the phone up to my face and they can get into it. No individual password…

I actually thought the false door thing was interesting for a second, until I thought, “Wait, if everyone has a false door, they what good does it do?” I decided it was just a vestigial tradition, like putting a woven St. Brigid’s Cross over your front door to keep evil spirits out, and then moved on.

This is yet another reason why I love them, and why I loved “Unifications.” So much of the Romulan trope was because we almost only ever saw their military or dictatorial leaders. I’m far more interested in what everyday Romulans were like. Sure, Laris and Zhaban were Tal Shiar, but now they’re everyday Romulans on…

I’ll go a step farther. If Picard passes away from his diagnosed neurological disorder at the end of season 3 (I recall the showrunners and Sir Pat saying the saw a three-season arc), then I think we need a series called “Star Trek: Laris and Zhaban.”
