Piggy backing my own comment to point out weird it is that the first eps of TNG, DS9 and VOY all featured God-Like/super powerful aliens.
TNG is especially weird. Our very first ep in nearly 20 years and BAM HUMANITY IS ON TRIAL!!!
The first couple episodes of season 1 are also dreadful. Once a season hits its stride, though, there are some absolute gems.
That’s almost sixteen earth years. Why are they still bothering to count by this point?
Especially their take on Best of Both Worlds. I expected it to be stupid, and it was one of the best of either season.
Possibility;
-
That Borg cube is the remnants of the one defeated by Picard and they’re de-borging the remaining Borg slowly and tearing it apart for technology and resources.
-
It’s a completely different cube, same results.
Theory that the woman in question is the former Borg queen/Unimatrix adjunct (per 7 of 9) of the cube, but I guess we’d have to see if she’s all biological or part machine, ala the other Borg Queen.
I could see that there might still be some danger of re-assimilation if they’re taking Borg off of it slowly and they get loose in the facility.
Interest piqued. I actually got goosebumps from that trailer. And I thought my Trekker tendencies died when they made STD.
We won’t pay for CBS All Access, but we will find a way to watch at least the first few episodes.
Yes, very much so, and I’m pretty sure intentionally. It was almost like Generations showing a clip of Data with his emotion chip. The Seven fans I saw definitely noticed.
Seven wasn’t exactly emotionless, but she was very restrained, so much so that she never tripped a Borg safety device that would shut down drones that got too emotional. They didn’t discover she still had this until near the end of Season 7. And even after it was removed, it wasn’t like she suddenly changed in personality–she had to willingly explore being more emotional.
So the change was set up in near the end of Voyager, and she was letting loose a bit more there, but her appearance here seems to be a step beyond, showing how much she’s grown and changed.
Though her sarcastic wit is something she had for a while: it just was much more dry and less animated. It still sounds like Seven–just more free.
She wore her hair down in the trailer too. I remember Seven always having her hair pinned up.
Also,
Worf takes custody of Data’s cat, Spot, and comes to appreciate Spot as a great hunter.
If this will be another Borg conflict.
The Federation needs to bring in the expert, Janeway.
The Voyager finale indicated the crew made it home after decades of travel. Janeway’s unique experiences with the Borg allowed the Federation to develop new shields, weapons, and tactics. Giving the Federation a decent chance against the Borg.
Wasn’t that an alternate timeline, in which they never found a quick way home?
Yes, there were two timelines. One was the slow route and they lost a lot of the original crew. 7 of 9 died in that timeline.
Janeway used a Borg conduit to get them home 25 years quicker in the Finale. Creating a 2nd timeline where more of the crew got home.
Either way, Voyager had more Borg contact than other Federation ships because they were in the Borg’s home territory.
Btw, that Borg conduit lead directly into Federation space.
I bet that was a OMG moment for the Federation. 
The Borg could drop by unannounced anytime they want.
It looks like the producers are confident there will be a season two and are already reaching out to other Trek actors. Robert Picardo, everybody’s favorite EMH, reports that the producers have spoken to his agent about a possible appearance. Picardo played two characters on Star Trek: Voyager, the holographic physician who took over when Voyager’s senior surgeon was killed, and the EMH’s creator, Dr. Lewis Zimmerman.
Quoth Picardo:
Star Trek: Picardo.
He also played Zimmerman on an episode of DS9.
He also played the Enterprise - E’s EMH (same model as Voyager’s, the EMH Mk I) in Star Trek: First Contact.
I breifly thought we were talking about STD. The EMH Doc could easily show up in season 3 of STD. Just would hope they didnt make it too dark of an appearance.
I DO think the time has passed to do a ‘holograms are the new slave class’ episode. Timeline-wise, that would have been resolved a bit ago. And having a decent handle on Fed ethics, they probably made it illegal to intentionally create sentient holograms.
How they would handle Doc wanting to pro-create…I dunno…
“Author, Author” - VOY season 7, episode 20
Obsolete EMHs are forced to work as miners on an asteroid.
He also played Alara’s father on The Orville.
He was shown as being happily married to a human female in Pt1 of the ***Voyager ***finale. I’ve always wondered if his programming included viable holographic sperm. (No, I am not being facetious. Just how far does “fully functional” extend in the 24th century?)
