Which, if true, would have only been a few years after declining the DS9 role. I'm sure she was in the same headspace ("hang on, movie career is about to come").

Saw episode 6 last night. So, uhhhh... are we sure this was just a throwaway thing?

I thought Picard buried him?

Presumably Starfleet would have removed any trace of the Enterprise-D and Kirk's body so as not to allow the civilization there to discover them. And that's exactly what Starfleet did or was in the process of doing in Shatner's old "The Return" novel.

I can't help but feel that the "combined personality Data" was retooled from whatever was supposed to be the follow-up to Nemesis. It also follows the "out of his mind Spock" a bit.
It was a great episode. The Enterprise-A was a surprise and after all the hype the final role of Moriarty was really surprising. I'm glad the actor didn't mind doing that incredibly small 'memberberries appearance. On another note, the novels are never cannon, although I only read the original TNG novel-line through to "Death In Winter." |

A lot of great moments. 7 reminiscing about Voyager. Riker and Worf's interactions were fun. Geordi was very well handled and him being protective over his daughters was great.
Moriarty just being a brief cameo was for the best. Data being alive again and a combination of characters is going to be interesting. Data and Geordi's friendship was pointed out. Shaw fanboying Geordi was great. Nice moments with the younger cast too and Picard's son. This was a great way to do a fanservice/nostalgia ep but still make everything make sense and fit the plot. |

It's a bit disappointing about Moriarty. I think I'd have rather they not have put him in the trailers at all if it was just going to turn out to be this (i.e., nothing). It'd be a fun surprise and not the enormous letdown it'd be ("Is Moriarty the big bad behind the scene?" "Is Moriarty, with a mobile emitter, teaming up with Lore?" etc., etc.) if we're left to ponder his role from the trailers alone. And no, it wasn't even him. It was just a crude recreation of the idea of him from Data's memories.

Also it occurred to me... what's the one other time we saw people's eyes turning red like Jack Crusher's do?

It's a real shame we'll never get any of the core DS9 cast back besides Major Kira at some point:
1. Avery Brooks lost his mind and doesn't want to act anymore so we'll never see Sisko again. 2. Odo's actor has unfortunately passed away and I don't feel like he should be recast. 3. Jadzia is dead in-series. 4. Nog's actor is dead in real life So we're left with basically Major Kira, Bashir, O'Brien and Quark at most. And Jake Sisko, who would be likely to return if they ever want to use him. |

I wouldn't rule out Brooks, especially if its not too big. And there's nothing online but rumors of alzheimers, nothing concrete and all probably just stemming from people spreading made up crap after that doc. I still think he was trolling Shatner in it. That or he just got done smoking a ton of weed before the cameras showed up.

Speaking of the Par Wariths.
I read a theory that Vadic's handler could be Spoiler:
Nothing but a theory. |

That's what I've been saying since we saw that face. It's that or random Iconians. And nothing about what they're doing here seems like they'd be bringing in randos.

The problem is with only 3 eps left it feels like a waste to bring in any "big" character when you know the show is ending. Like what would be the point, a big reveal and then a character gets maybe 20 minutes or less of screentime before they have to kill them off or end the show?
The show is now overstuffed with characters and Deanna still has almost no screentime, and both Georgi and Data only just came back. Even Worf has been absent in a lot of eps because they can't fit everyone in. It's a real shame these are still only 10 ep seasons because this one would have benefited from being longer. |
