Qapla' All... Star Trek Picard Season 3 Episode 9 "Vox" was released on Paramount Plus. If you don't have a hour+ to watch my review, this is a much shorter more polished video of my 5 biggest nitpicks with the episode. Some are more than nitpicks, it's just a nice way of saying "crippling plot holes." Nitpicks sounds better though so that is what we'll go with. From retconning the entire ethos of Star Trek to merely screwing with Starfleet history, from Data's inability to track a shuttle to turning transporters into disease vectors, there are nitpicks for everyone! More nitpicks on these other channels! @NitpickingNerd - https://youtu.be/ouT3ef6bEXA @startreknitpickers5838 - https://youtu.be/SwdkXIqMnHI Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzcyQIb-OHCKMoTIjASEIyQ/join #BirdOPrey5 #StarTrek #Picard #picardseason3 Donate at: https://streamlabs.com/birdoprey5/tip Check out https://www.birdoprey5.com for all your BOP5 needs. Memory Alpha Summary and Teaser: A devastating revelation about Jack alters the course of Picard's life forever – and uncovers a truth that threatens every soul in the Federation. The final battle begins as Picard and his crew race to save the galaxy from annihilation – but not without a gut-wrenching cost. "Nothing is more elusive than a door the mind doesn't wish to open," Troi says, as Jack Crusher stares down the corridor of his mind at the red door, the song "I Can't Stop Crying" projecting through the hall. Troi can sense his reluctance and fear but assures him he is safe. She points out the vines approaching the door, but Jack says he has no idea what they mean. Troi tells him that all symbols have some kind of meaning and urges him to think. He finally recalls the Crimson Arboretum on Raritan IV, a place he had visited with his mother as a child, and also recalls she "adored" the song they were hearing as well. Troi warns him not to get lost in it and stay with her. He recalls the song being less music and more memory, a code of sorts passed from his parents down to him. He remembers seeing thousands of flowers at the arboretum, all of them different on the outside, but beneath the soil, all were connected by the vines. He admits he does not find the idea comforting, but still right and true, purposeful, perfect. As they speak, the music slows and the corridor begins to darken. In reality, Troi is sitting in the counselor's office aboard the USS Titan-A, holding Jack's hands, deep in concentration. Outwardly, Jack looks almost haunted, while inside his mind, his expression has hardened. Troi asks if Jack seeks to make such connections like the vines, and he admits he wants to make "many" connections. The voices, foremost among them his mother's, come from the door. Troi tells him his truth lies beyond it and asks if he would like her to open it, again assuring him he will not be alone. Jack finally agrees, and Troi slowly makes her way down the corridor to the door. As she opens it inside Jack's mind, in reality she suddenly awakens, stunned by what she has seen. She stammers out an apology and quickly flees from Jack, even as he demands to know what she saw in his mind. She makes her way down the corridor to sickbay, where Picard and Beverly Crusher look up worriedly at the expression on her face, asking what happened. Behind the red door in Jack's mind, Troi had seen a Borg cube… and heard the voice of the Borg Collective.

A devastating revelation about Jack alters the course of Picard’s life forever – and uncovers a truth that threatens every soul in the Federation. The final battle begins as Picard and his crew race to save the galaxy from annihilation – but not without a gut-wrenching cost. Star Trek Picard Season 3, Episode 9 just got released on Paramount Plus. The episode is titled "Vox." Yes there are spoilers. Picard Season 3 has received widespread acclaim which is often credited to the new showrunner Terry Matalas but is it deserved? Seasons 1 and 2 were considered a terrible mess. This season will reunite the entire TNG main cast (other than Wesley) and the crew remains together this episode, joined by an old friend... An old "fat" friend once thought lost on Veridian III... She flies again! Thanks to some hard work by Geordi LaForge. We also find out what is behind the red door? Hint, it's shaped like a cube. I know this is long but if you watch at 2X speed it's more manageable. ;-) Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzcyQIb-OHCKMoTIjASEIyQ/join #BirdOPrey5 #StarTrek #Picard #PicardSeason3 Donate at: https://streamlabs.com/birdoprey5/tip Check out https://www.birdoprey5.com for all your BOP5 needs.

Qapla' All... Star Trek Picard Season 3 Episode 8 "Surrender" was released on Paramount Plus. If you don't have a hour+ to watch my review, this is a much shorter more polished video of my 5 biggest nitpicks with the episode. Some are more than nitpicks, it's just a nice way of saying "crippling plot holes." Nitpicks sounds better though so that is what we'll go with. From questionable changeling replacements and kidnapping choices to even more questionable weapons choices. to a shoot first ask questions later attitude, there are nitpicks for everyone!

Memory Alpha Teaser: Making herself comfortable on the USS Titan-A's bridge, Vadic orders her followers to "take [the crew's] eyes" and lock down the ship's controls, just as Geordi La Forge unplugs Daystrom Android M-5-10 (controlled by Lore) from the ship's computer. As the lights go out, his daughter Alandra asks if he had in fact disconnected the android, and Geordi assures her he did; he knows Vadic has the bridge. Vadic then decides to "take their ears" by disabling internal communications, her crew ambushing that of the Titan in the corridors. Vadic herself takes "the very road ahead of them" by sealing the doors. As she forces her prisoners – Captain Shaw, Seven of Nine, and the remaining bridge crew – to listen to the screams of their comrades, Vadic rises, eyes closed and hands waving like a conductor at the sound, before she closes the channel, walking down the line of the crew. Most stare at her with either fear or contempt; a tear falls down Esmar's face at the fate of their shipmates. Picard and Beverly Crusher attempt to access the security systems from sickbay, but cannot break the security lockout. As he watches his parents work, Jack Crusher backs up against a wall, his eyes beginning to glow red, as Sidney La Forge wonders what he is doing; he is able to hear that thought in her head. His focus goes outside sickbay, and he is able to hear the thoughts of the Titan's crew. He is able to get inside the mind of a security officer, who wonders where the rest of his squad is. Seeing through his eyes, he advances down the corridor, finding several shipmates either dead or trying to hide, before the man is shot dead by one of Vadic's crew. Jack returns to himself, gasping, before he tells the others that it was no use: The Titan was Vadic's now, and her crew controlled most of the ship. As if to emphasize this, Vadic addresses the entire ship, telling the crew that she has left them without sight, sound, or freedom of movement; if she so wished, she could leave them without air to breathe or gravity to stand, or make the environmental controls boil them or freeze them – or, she adds, she could be on her way with Jack in tow. She tells them to consider this, while she considers which of the bridge crew they would miss the most. "So, Jack Crusher to the bridge, would you please," she finishes.

Vadic seems to know more about Jack and his secret powers as well as the red door he seems to have visions of, or possible hallucinations of... But now Vadic is dead. Luckily Counselor Troi has offered to stay with Jack and even open the door for him. Will we finally get the answers in episode 9? Presumably, yes! What are your theories? What are mine? From the Borg, to Pah Wraith to to parasites from the TNG episode Conspiracy, it is all discussed here. Even more "out there" theories like Borg-Changeling alliances and Beverly a possible shape shifter infiltrator.

Qapla' All... Star Trek Picard Season 3 Episode 7 "Dominion" was released on Paramount Plus. If you don't have a hour+ to watch my review, this is a much shorter more polished video of my 5 biggest nitpicks with the episode. Some are more than nitpicks, it's just a nice way of saying "crippling plot holes." Nitpicks sounds better though so that is what we'll go with. From mysterious crew departures to random Vulcan warships, from crazy plans to ridiculous plans, with some historic revision thrown in, there are nitpicks for everyone!

Memory Alpha Teaser: The USS Titan-A hides with minimum power in the Chin'toka scrapyard, amidst the wreckage of the battles fought there, while Seven of Nine reaches out to her old friend Captain Tuvok for information on Riker's whereabouts. Tuvok replies that Riker was not reported in Starfleet custody. Seven glances over at Captain Shaw and T'Veen, who are analyzing Tuvok's voice; T'Veen nods, indicating it matched. Picard silently encourages her to proceed. Seven then asks about the last time Tuvok had seen Admiral Janeway. Tuvok admits it has been some time, but expects she is preparing for Frontier Day, which is in 36 hours, and the entire fleet is being assembled in the Sol system for the celebration. Seven explains the belief that everything they've found points to a larger conspiracy and asks if Tuvok could connect them to someone they could trust. Tuvok seems apologetic when he replies that it will be difficult, given their status as fugitives. T'Veen and Shaw monitor the response, but the analysis comes back "inconclusive." Seven acknowledges the complexities of the issue were like "a house of cards," like the games of kal-toh they used to play. Tuvok concedes that she had beaten him "countless" times, which further seems to reinforce she is dealing with the real Tuvok. He agrees to meet with her to find new allies. Seven suggests meeting on Aklion VII, where she had had her neural pattern stabilized and Tuvok immediately agrees... which proves to Seven that he is actually a Changeling. No Vulcan would go to Aklion VII after the anti-Kolinahr demonstrations there, and her neural pattern had been stabilized on the USS Voyager by the real Tuvok. Exposed, the Changeling smirks; Geordi La Forge then warns that the comm signal is being traced. Seven demands to know what they've done to the real Tuvok, as only he would have known about their kal-toh games. The Tuvok Changeling responds only that all of the Titan crew will think death is a relief when the Changelings are finished with them. Picard then steps forward, demanding to know where Riker is. The Changeling's face changes to that of Riker, who mocks Picard by saying that he was "as good as dead," like Picard himself. Picard finally tells Geordi to cut the communication. Geordi warns that they cannot keep doing this, and perhaps it was time they just accepted their situation. Picard looks around at the others. "We're on our own," he agrees grimly.

Crippled, cornered, and out of options, Picard stages a gambit to trap Vadic and reveal her true motive – a gamble that puts the Titan in the crosshairs and forces Picard and Beverly to question every moral code they've ever held. Star Trek Picard Season 3, Episode 7 just got released on Paramount Plus. The episode is titled "Dominion." Yes there are spoilers.

In the conference room, Picard asks about Worf, and Geordi reports that he and Musiker had been observing Starfleet Security at Exo-Port, and confirmed that there was no report of Riker in custody; they are on their way back. "And not a moment too soon," he adds, as short of hiding in junkyards like Chin'toka, he's running out of places to hide them. Picard adds they are also running out of time; Frontier Day is coming, and they still have to expose the conspiracy to Starfleet somehow. Beverly Crusher then speaks up, having been weighing a moral dilemma of sorts. Whether the new Changelings' physiology is evolved or engineered, it makes them unique, and the best way to expose them is that uniqueness - a weapon, or at the very least a tool, to help expose them. Her dilemma, however, is that it might require a biological solution, and targeting a species based on their biology is tantamount to genocide, thinking on the morphogenic virus used during the Dominion War; she knows they are desperate, but is concerned about crossing a line. Picard asks her to look into what she can find, and they would weigh the moral implications if and when it became a necessity. ...

Memory Alpha Teaser: Now on the run, Picard and the skeleton crew of the USS Titan must break into Starfleet's most top-secret facility to expose a plot that could destroy the Federation. Picard must turn to the only soul in the galaxy who can help – an old friend. Three Federation starships arrive at the location of a transponder left behind by the USS Titan-A, while another is found by the Shrike. Vadic grows increasingly frustrated, threatening her "ill-defined, unshapen" crew if another one tells her they have not located Picard. The Changeling at the helm explains that the Titan keeps leaving behind decoy transponders and jumping to warp at infrequent intervals. Vadic thinks of how exhausted they must be… as she is, as are all of their "brothers and sisters" who have to wear the faces of the Federation. She then becomes more upbeat, saying that there will be rest, a day of "lifeless bodies burning in space." They will have peace and unity again… but first, they will have vengeance. The helm continues to persist; Frontier Day is 72 hours away, and they have no better idea of where Jack Crusher is than they did before. As they are saying a change of leadership might be needed, Vadic simply orders "enough" and the Changeling beside her draws their weapon and vaporizes the would-be mutineer on the spot. Vadic sets her crew to work on finding all of Picard's known associates, including past and present Starfleet colleagues – anyone to whom he might turn for help. "We will scorch the Earth under which he stands, and the night will brighten with the ashes of the Federation," she declares. "And from them… we will rise."

Star Trek Picard Season 3, Episode 6 just got released on Paramount Plus. The episode is titled "The Bounty." Yes there are spoilers. Picard Season 3 has received widespread acclaim which is often credited to the new showrunner Terry Matalas but is it deserved? Seasons 1 and 2 were considered a terrible mess. This season will reunite the entire TNG main cast (other than Wesley) but not all at once. This week we see the return of Geordi La Forge and the introduction of his other (and real life) daughter. The long awaited Professor Moriarty hologram returned along with Data, or is it Lore? Or B4? Maybe it's all of them! And even Deanna Troi shows up at the end. I know this is long but if you watch at 2X speed it's more manageable. ;-) Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzcyQIb-OHCKMoTIjASEIyQ/join #BirdOPrey5 #StarTrek #Picard #PicardSeason3 Donate at: https://streamlabs.com/birdoprey5/tip Check out https://www.birdoprey5.com for all your BOP5 needs. From Memory Alpha- Now on the run, Picard and the skeleton crew of the USS Titan must break into Starfleet's most top-secret facility to expose a plot that could destroy the Federation. Picard must turn to the only soul in the galaxy who can help – an old friend. Quotes- "For so long, my mother thought to protect me from you. To shield me from being collateral damage in the life of Jean-Luc Picard. Irony is… maybe I was doomed before I was even born." - Jack Crusher "The most advantageous battle stance is being one within oneself." "Whoa. Seriously?" "I just said it." - Worf and Riker, on Worf's meditation "I have gone into battle with lovers countless times. It can be therapeutic if…" "I'm not going." "That is a relief. I was practicing deceit. Breakups on my homeworld seldom end without bloodshed." - Worf, witnessing Seven of Nine talking with Musiker before they beam down to Daystrom Station "Captain Riker…" "Worf, call me Will. Come on." "You should know that I now prefer pacifism to actual combat. Energize." "We're all gonna die." - Worf and Riker "A mighty Klingon taken aback by the even mightier attack tribble!" "I see you still find comfort in humor. And humor in other people's discomfort." "You used to poke back. What happened to you?" - Riker, after Worf sees a tribble at Daystrom "What solvable puzzles you all are. Your unguarded expressions, your visible scars. My, how time has spun you all apart. Such pathetic old warriors." - Moriarty "Oh, she's a beauty. Which one's that?" "The USS Voyager. She made her name farther out than… any of those other relics had ever gone. I was reborn there. She was my home. Her crew were my family." - Jack Crusher and Seven of Nine, spotting Voyager docked at the Fleet Museum

Qapla' All... Star Trek Picard Season 3 Episode 5 "Imposters" was released on Paramount Plus. If you don't have a hour+ to watch my review, this is a much shorter more polished video of my 5 most annoying nitpicks with the episode. Some are more than nitpicks, it's just a nice way of saying "crippling plot holes." Nitpicks sounds better though so that is what we'll go with. From bad galactic geography, poor starship design, bizarre behavior by Raffi, poor holodeck programming, and suspect Klingon meditation techniques, there are nitpicks for everyone! More nitpicks on these other channels! @NitpickingNerd - https://youtu.be/ouT3ef6bEXA @startreknitpickers5838 - https://youtu.be/SwdkXIqMnHI Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzcyQIb-OHCKMoTIjASEIyQ/join #BirdOPrey5 #StarTrek #Picard #picardseason3 Donate at: https://streamlabs.com/birdoprey5/tip Check out https://www.birdoprey5.com for all your BOP5 needs. Memory Alpha Teaser: The crew of the USS Titan-A is making their way back home after their ordeal in the Ryton system; Lieutenant T'Veen is examining the material left over from the spaceborne creatures' birth, Lieutenant Mura checks in with Ensign Esmar about an update on repairs, and Ensign La Forge struggles to keep awake as she checks the status of the thrusters. Suddenly, Jack Crusher, wearing a Starfleet uniform, comes up to the bridge and begins shooting them all down with a phaser. As the wounded Esmar tries to crawl away, Jack walks right up to them. Esmar tells him they knows what he really is, before his phaser comes up to finish the ensign off. The hull around him, and Esmar's face, begin to grow the same red roots he had seen in his mind's eye. Jack is suddenly standing in his quarters, the phaser in his hand. His shaking hands drop the weapon to the deck, as his eyes begin to glow red, and he hears his mother Beverly in his mind telling him to come home.

This week did not feature any of the TNG main cast members but there was a visit from a well known Next Generation character that was kept secret until this point. We also find out some unusual AI protects the Daystrom Institute. Have you heard of the Kahless Meditation technique? Mobile Holographic Emitters? Is it logical to be a crime lord? I know this is long but if you watch at 2X speed it's more manageable. ;-) I assure you there are multiple rants throughout the reaction and review.

Qapla' All... Star Trek Picard Season 3 Episode 4 "No Win Scenario" was released on Paramount Plus. If you don't have a hour+ to watch my review, this is a much shorter more polished video of my 5 biggest problems (nitpicks?) with the episode. Some are more than nitpicks, it's just a nice way of saying "crippling plot holes." Nitpicks sounds better though so that is what we'll go with. From awful command decisions, awkward product placement that may be an international incident (did Dave Cullen miss this?), very unlikely bucket choices, tweets from the showrunner and a very naughty word, there are nitpicks for everyone!

Deanna Troi shows up but only on a small viewscreen.
