So what do we think is going on with Jack?

Does he have some Borg DNA, so that the queen is somehow able to communicate with him? Picard was Locutus, but I can't remember how much they changed him physically.

Good thinking. I thought it was something to do with the great link, but what that has to do with Jack is anyones guess lol

I like the borg idea though, could build up to a pretty awesome ending.

The only niggle is the red door? What does that mean, the borgs favourite colour is green not red :cry:

Got a Pah Wraith in him thats what I reckon. When Dukat was possessed by a pah wraith his eyes used to go red. Sisko going to turn up at the last minute and save the day

It's not the Borg.

Good theory.

And bringing back Sisko (best captain) would be excellent.

Gonna be annoyed if we don't see Janeway with all the constant name dropping.

Pah wraiths makes sense, I even suspect that they possessed some founders and that's whatagwan

doodah · 17 Mar 2023 at 13:07

Never thought of the Pa Wraiths, good theory. I thought he was some sort of human/goop hybrid and so they wanted him back/not allow Starfleet to get him.

Ro Laren appearing was a nice surprise. When they showed you the back of her head before the reveal I thought it might be B'lana Torres from Voyager, but Ro was a better surprise!

Now they've paired Raffi with Worf I can't skip her scenes. But the plausibility of her even standing a chance against Worf in combat was too much a of a stretch!

Anyway, best episode so far, although they need to explain all the Jack crusher red doors and red vines soon.

don't think Jack would have a Pa wraith in him as he seems to want to stay out of the hands of the bad guys and i think a Pa wraith would want to get back to him, mabe one of The Prophets.

personal i think Jack is connected to the founders, and he hearing "the great link" calling to him, and The bad/evil Changelings have been engineered by either section 31 or someone like them

Great episode (again!) but............

How many times is Starfleet going to be compromised?!

Ro Laren, I dont remember her being in many episodes of TNG to be fair, I remember her for Cain in the new BSG, and when I say new, I remember its like 20 years old now lol...

Madness the 'new' BSG started 20 years ago :eek:

. I remember thinking that might be one to watch in my early days of university. The actress that plays Cain doesn't look ~20 years older that's for sure.

FlamBango · 17 Mar 2023 at 15:15

so has Picard been banging more female crew than kirk!? Inconceivable!!

wunkley · 17 Mar 2023 at 15:21

What a shocker series 3 is. It's actually good. Like many I watched a few episodes of series 1 and gave up - hated it. Saw some reviewers I like saying 3 was actually good so gave it a chance. Genuinely surprised.
The only thing I don't like is the swearing, it's so un-Star Trek, it's just wrong. And I swear like a docker myself so it's nothing to do with that. It's just not Star Trek ethos to f bomb, at all.

something daft already!! · 17 Mar 2023 at 16:41

Apparently Patrick Stewart added the sweary himself.

I thought the same. She aged very well. Still looked somewhat yummy

rewatch the chat between Picard and Ro in the holodeck. now replace The maquis with BSG

First series was ok, second absolutely sucked balls but this has been a massive step up in quality and the last episode was brilliant.

glenimp617 · 17 Mar 2023 at 20:11

Please don't be the par wraiths or whatever they are called, most ridiculous villans in star trek

That said, if it means a trip to DS9 then fair enough :cry:

any ideas who or what the daystrom AI is? ahem.....

Stu999 · 17 Mar 2023 at 20:18

Enjoying this so far.

I don't like the transporter noise that much in this series.

Have we had a "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot." yet?

Edit - would like to see more of the Enterprise-F too.
