Am I the only one who finds it kind of weird that Tuvok was the only Voy/DS9 regular (besides Seven and Worf) to show up in Picard season 3 when the events of the entire season were a direct consequence of events in DS9 and Voyager?

Some of it definitely ended up being actor availability. Some of it was the writing even with that in mind. Really should have had Seven with Picard during the scenes with the Borg Queen, would have even taken Data to see how this new version of him, now fleshy (which the First Contact Queen gave him to try to turn him) would respond.

Honestly would have preferred to have no Borg involvement at all and have some other villain - or even just Vadic herself - be the main antagonist. The scope of the Collective always seems to elude certain writers….but I’m glad we’re done with them.

I would have liked new Data to see the Queen again and said to her "I can't believe I slept with you." And then made a little gagging vomit type noise. 😄 To which Seven and Picard both look at him incredulously like "You WHAT?!" because he never told anyone that fact before.

Borg Queen: It must have been your lifelong ambition!

Instead of a Trek 4 homage it's trek 6 but it is Picard vs Locutus sparring in front of the Queen.and I mean two old Pstews....Star Trek PicardPICspoilerspicard spoilers

Jack Crusher is like…the textbook definition of Mediocre White Guy We’re Supposed to Hold in Awe

quasi-normalcy

“This is my original character; he’s the son of Captain Picard and Dr. Crusher; he’s an awesome rogue who drinks whisky and loves classic starships and gets all of the girls, and he can knock people out with one punch and get away with it because he’s so cool, but also he has daddy issues and childhood trauma. His eyes glow red when gets angry and he also has superpowers. And he’s also part Borg and part Changeling and part Pah'Wraith and part Armus. He’s dark and brooding and Seven of Nine likes him.”

A bunch of Trekkies who’ve spent the last six years calling Michael Burnham a “Mary Sue”: “Yeah! Finally! Real Star Trek!”

quasi-normalcy

UPDATE: He’s the Borg Queen’s specialest drone, whatever that means! But he can get out of assimilation through force of will and the power of flashbacks to the last 2 days or so spent kind of bonding with his father. Starfleet waived that whole “Academy” requirement (and indeed that whole “post-secondary education in general” requirement) because of how AWESOME he is! Seven of Nine lets him sit on the bridge as her “special counselor” even though he’s only been an ensign for a day because he’s SUCH a Badass! Q comes back to announce that he’s going to put him on trial for the crimes of humanity!

I’m not joking by the way; literally all of these things actually happened in the series finale.

It really does feel like somebody’s AO3 fic with a $90 million budget.

quasi-normalcy

That’s unfair! Lots of AO3 fics are good.

Dear fanfic writers,

The next time you doubt your work, when you second-guess your ideas, your understanding of the canon, or your skill as a wordsmith…

Remember that Star Trek: Picard Season 3 was a babyfic AU with a bonafide Mary Sue author self insert (whose mummy was Beverly Crusher and whose daddy was Picard) who was such a Very Special Boy that he made ensign in a year, and who strode confidently across the bridge and commanded “lay in a course for the AUTHOR’S NAME system!!”

Remember that.

And then post your stuff to AO3

Can’t really argue. Loved the nostalgia and TNG stuff of the season. But Jack was the weakest link.
