Beverly CALLED it from the start! When Season 3 started, she was reviewing Jean-Luc's logs when the Borg were preparing to abduct him, trying to get some info to save Jack from his *multiple* would-be kidnappers. And, despite Jean-Luc having a relatively peaceful life, up til a few years ago, her intuition that their troubles were the result of Jean-Luc's abduction was correct.
The writer for this plot knew his material...In Best Of Both Worlds, when Locutus was captured and examined Dr. Crusher was telling us Picards DNA was being rewritten...
There's always a grain of truth in sci-fi that mirrors real life. I've seen the Fringe writers that are on this show repeat the message in this series. Think about where we've been over the past few years...watch this episode and put the graphene jigsaw pieces together...
So this sucks for any of us who have any understanding of genetics. The whole XY chromosome thing. We are to believe that this much Borg material was passed on from Jean Luc Picard's semen. It is far more common for a child to inherit and express genetic defects and such from their mothers.
@@seanwebb605the queen herself was a recon in fairness. The Borg finally did what they've always been threatening to do in all their appearances, adapt and evolve. They needed a reasonable way to make them threatening again
@@monkeyman767 The Borg have becomes Star Trek's Death Star. The problem is that we see them almost undefeatable by a large fleet of ships, then fairly easily subdued by a single ship with the extra special sauce crew. We even see Janeway and her merry band of misfits travel through Borg space with many, many cubes. In the Next Generation films they no longer have to capture people and attach and implant technology to assimilate them. A quick insert and they join the collective. It's absolutely ridiculous because as viewers we are suppose to believe that they can be infected by a small injection and then all of this metal, wiring and such appears. As if the human body now produces complex metals, wires and circuitry. Now they want us to believe that Jean Luc Picard's DNA was altered to Borg with some sort of Borg RNA, it was passed through his semen into Crusher and Jack lives as some sort of Borg Jesus.
@@monkeyman767 Here is another aspect that I find odd about the entire Picard series; Jean Luc Picard died. His memories and essence have been transferred into a synthetic lifeform. Of course most of the craziness we're suppose to accept because we want Patrick Stewart playing the role. But he could have returned to visit the Ba'ku decades earlier and had his youth restored. Starfleet and the crew of the Enterprise could do all sorts of mission impossible stuff, but not treat Picard's illness. Now he never knew he had a son. A son named after his girlfriend's first husband your old friend. So he only has a biological connection with the man. No familiar ties. Not shared experiences. Only a biological tie to the man. But the human Picard is dead. There is no biological connection between synthetic Picard 2.0 and Mr. Crusher. There is no biological imperative to protect your child. There are no warm memories of experiences together prior to the transformation.
This seems like a plot-hole to me. The changelings didn't need EITHER Picard for this if they were working in cahoots with the Borg. They could have been provided everything?
Janeway's Neurolytic Pathogen also crippled the Borg on a scale that crippled them to where it seems to be mostly the Queen and a handful of drones. It's likely that the information wasn't able to be provided.
