STAR TREK PICARD: SEASON 1 EPISODE 7, NEPENTHE


Hi Trekkers Spacerguy here,  I've been away on shoreleave  but as Susan commented its time to catch up. unfortunately my transporter malfunctioned and I got waylayed by a Romulan agent but I've managed to escape and here I am. 😐

Star Trek Picard, In the 7th episode Nepenthe, our trusty captain Picard and Soji safely transport to the planet Nepenthe with no mishaps getting away from the Borg Artefact. (I'm trying not to get emotional but) It must be testing beaming across the galaxy 40,000 light years using spatial trajector Borg technology.

PICARD AND SOJI


We know our friends escaped the evil clutches of Narissa who was Nareks scheming Romulan sister. These two were a cunning team plotting sneakily and quietly aboard the Cube. Looking back we can enjoy how much it meant to Picard to have escaped safely now back with some old and trusted friends, Troi, Riker and daughter Kestra which they're writing about on the New York Times! 😁

NARISSA AND NAREK SCHEMING


Soji on the other hand isn't so sure. its not like she can rely on her "gut" instincts right? After all she has no reason to believe anything is real cos like shes been programmed, "activated" and learns, oh well I'm an android or synthetic? So do lets be honest trekkers how would you feel discovering such feelings and being only a couple years old?


PICARD PLEADS WITH SOJI


As the rest of La Sirena's crew attempt to join them, Picard helps Soji make sense of her recently unlocked memories. Its a rough trek but heck burdens of comand, 😐  Meanwhile, Hugh and Elnor are left on the Borg cube and must face Narissa who no angel, so lets take a closer look at her.

COMMODORE OH BRAINWASHES JURANTI


STARFLEET SECURITY COMMODORE OH
DEEP UNDERCOVER TAL SHIAR GENERAL
FOR THE EVIL ZHAT VASH


Tal Shiar Colonel and undercover operative for the ghastly Zhat Vash (keeper of secrets) Remember Comodore Oh? All is not what it seems in Trekland. She seemed logical right until we saw her mindmeld Juranti and bug her. Now we know why Juranti turned killer. I figure beside being a Romulan spy for the grim Zhat Vash, Commodore O is a dark General Sorceress but lets not forget Narissa.

While Picard is playing happy families on planet Nepenthe ask yourself:

HOW CAN STARFLEET RECOVER NOW ITS BEEN INFILTRATED BY ROMULANS?


THE CONCLAVE OF EIGHT WAS DESIGNED TO ATTACK MARS AND INFLUENCE FEDERATION DECISIONS, SEVERELY BANNING SYNTHETIC LIFEFORMS from existing in the federation but why?





A.Whats Commodore Oh's next move? Whats Riker's Picard's and Soji's? Wheres Seven?
B.Narek is working under Narissa's orders given to her by STARFLEETS DIRECTOR OF SECURITY COMMODORE OH, who's a spy TREKKERS!!!! A cursed Spy, a mole, a dog, a mut, a national federation disaster because WHY? She a Tal Shiar General!!!
C.Commodore Oh plan was to obtain information from Dahj on Biological androids now TURNING TO NARISSA THE PLAN FOCUSES ON SOJI. NAREK TO GET THE REQUIRED INFORMATION.
D.Once Starfleet gains the power to trace and track biological androids thus eliminating them and  curtailing civil liberties within the galaxy, will they want to relinquish this power?

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER, TREKKERS!

Welcome back!
That was definitely the best episode. It was like a family reunion.

At least Oh won't be able to influence Star Fleet anymore.

I loved that episode. It made me cry.

I'm going to skip these for the time being. I have CBS All Access at the moment, so I can actually watch these, and then I might be able to offer something coherent.

Thanks Alex It has been a good run so far, I'm enjoying all the characters as they defend and blend their way into the new trek timeline .

SpacerGuy said...

Yes it was just like ol times Diane. So now Riker and Troi have a kid with their home kitted out with all the tech specs of the "USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D" ok well maybe not quite, haha but Picard and Soji chilled out for sure.

SpacerGuy said...

Its fun, fast and fascinating Squid enjoying Star Trek will make it so!

SpacerGuy said...

Picard and Soji, I believe had a fight on their hands but lucky for them Liz they escaped the Borg artefact without any "encounters" with Narissa's hit squad. The show has scored a lot of points with fans which is neat 'cos like its new and fresh.
