Star Trek Picard Season Three

[TazMan2000]

I guess Shaw was portrayed as the villain when he initially refused to help Picard and Riker, but I do like how the viewer looks upon him now with redemption. Brilliant actor. Not everyone could handle that.

hes a dick... but i like him I love how hes portrayed. I hope we get to see more of him after picard

 

[Treadwell]

We know from Voyager that Holodeck power is incompatible.

It was bullcrap then, and it's bullcrap now.

 

[Krieger]

We know from Voyager that Holodeck power is incompatible.



The fact his name is Shaw, same as Robert Shaw AKA Captain Quint, isn't a coincidence. If you are going to steal, steal from the best. Even had him hopped up on painkillers to parallel Quint being drunk. That doesn't impact my enjoyment, it's a great scene.

Yes that’s what I played right after the show. The Indianapolis scene from Jaws. Nailed it.

Resigoo?

Who writes this show?
Setting aside the infantile name given to this alleged substance, if it was that simple to find a Changeling then they are hardly a threat. In a time of war, every starship's sensors could be callibrated to scan for these signatures or anything closely resembling it and the Changeling would be found in minutes.
Also on this subject, aside from being a nostalgia reference, the Changeling having a bucket identical to Odo's makes no sense.
Seems like nostalgia is a substitute for logic.

Like any other species then. One would hope they improved the bio sensors in the last 30 years to scan for changelings.

You would think so. But then the writers wouldn't be able to work in their contrived storyline if they had to consider even the most logical things that every fan would instantly think of.
I just don't see why some people (mainly those early access Youtubers) are fawning over this series when the problems that have been a hallmark of JJ and Kurtzman are still clearly there.

RM… how many times have we talked about using logic in a Nu-Trek discussion thread?

 

[Captain Dunsel]

I guess you can always spot a Changing because they evidently will be carrying the same standard issue “Odo Ooze Bucket” with them, wherever they travel to?

Considering the fact that Odo became famous after the Dominion War, is it too much of a stretch to think a lot of Changelings want to cosplay as liquid Odo in a bucket?

Perhaps an enterprising Ferengi sells licensed replicas of the “Odo Ooze Bucket”?

 

[renaissance_man]

If all you had to do was scan for Changeling "residue" there would never have been a problem with infiltrators, no blood tests or phaser sweeps needed. Again NuTrek trying to retcon Star Trek but this time DS9 is in its sights.
But hey, don't worry about logic, here's a nostalgia reference, it's the wallpaper on the crumbling ruin of NuTrek writing.

Don't give them any ideas.

There are probably Spirit of Pah Wraiths stores scattered across Dominion space

It's not a retcon to have advanced the technology.

It is a retcon to say Changelings leave behind a residue which is traceable on sensors.

Residue, maybe. That a sensor can detect a sample of it, not at all.

We’ve never seen residual ooz before. In fact, we’ve seen Changelings pull all separated bits back into themselves as the constitute into a solid form.

Sensors have always been capable of detecting a myriad of things. Even back during the DS9 years Bashir knew that Odo and his people had a morphogenic matrix. This residue angle they've gone with is a retcon and has created a plothole.

Ya, that was a limitation of the sensors in DS9. It's 30 years latter, the technology has advanced.
