The "purple vines" look more like blood vessels to me. But hey, you've seen the entire series so what do I know?

[@ThePopcast]

@@billkeithchannel Bill, we were VERY CAREFUL about what we called those things LOL - Full disclosure, they may or may not be vines. We decided to call them what our first thought was when we watched it through for the first time. So it could be something else ;) Or perhaps it's not LOL

I think Riker Is the changling right now

[@rrandy43]

I love this episode A lot of emotion and true acting. Played by our beloved star trek characters. They are really inspiring to give their fans the best performance ever. Almost like the last performance, I like the story plot so far. I also like where they are going with this season. It seems that everybody is getting a chance to step up their performance.

[@roberttalerico7328]

That conversation between Jean Luc and Beverly. Powerful. Gates McFadden was giving her best in that scene and she really made me feel the passion. This has to go down in Trek lore.

[@JROD082384]

Since it is an official scene in Star Trek canon, you can be relatively confident that it will indeed “go down in Trek lore”…

[@nooneatall8072]

And, speaking of Lore .... 😊 Is he what was really stolen from Daystrom?

[@BigCowProductions]

​@@nooneatall8072 OH Snap!! Great segue.

[@legion162]

Riker was in charge of the ship, ultimately his decision to make, should not have blamed Picard for "... Killing us all..."

[@jasonvene]

For this reason I'm thinking that Riker is actually a changeling.

[@garygsp3]

@@jasonvene I some what inclined to agree. The way Riker talked to Picard in the last half of the show is very uncharacteristic of the relationship between these two longtime friends. Something is very... suspicious. Riker was almost cold to him.

[@brucesnow7125]

@@garygsp3 I mean, he was put in charge of a ship the crew of which he doesn't know at all. Its a huge pressure, because he feels responsible for keeping them safe because they are the ones who brought this upon the crew. Not an easy situation to be in.

[@ssj4megaman]

Yeah, I have been wondering about that myself. There was a season preview where you saw Riker in a "jail" in what looked to be the Shrike. I'm starting to wonder if he is a Changeling. Maybe not, but his response is definitely not "Riker".

[@heddingite]

Except for the facials Riker was giving when the torpedoes hit. He didn't want his career to be defined by destroying the Titan-A and certainly for "Picard's final mission". The look he made right before turning towards Picard was heart wrenching to me. incredulousness, Duty, Shame, Acceptance that he must now very publicly chastise his mentor. Definitely not what a changeing would do

[@raydoherty7154]

It's the Trek we've been needing

[@BadApe351]

Very happy with the way this season is going. It's got a great action/drama balance. It flows really well. All of the main characters are recieving quality screentime - and this leads to all genders/races/orientations being well represented - thus neutralizing any "me too" flack being thrown at it. I really love the series crossover continuing also (Seven of Nine and Riker meeting...with more of it to come no doubt). And Ed Speleers is doing an awesome job as Jack Picard...and holding his own amongst the Generations/Voyager ulumni. Matalas has made all the difference to "Picard". Really hope he moves one to other Star Trek projects...and the hierarchy don't lose someone with such a genuine passion for the genre...again.

[@theloniousMac]

Worf, I mean Michael Dorn is 70 years old. Looks good.

[@LtFoodstamp]

What the hell. He's 70?? You can barely tell he's older than he was in DS9. He actually looks better than he did in Nemesis!

[@jdc4483]

Riker and Picard have a plan. Riker never would’ve openly and dramatically, yelled at Picard on the bridge in front of other officers, “you have killed us all.” My gut tells me they know there’s a changeling in their midst and are setting the changeling up for a fall! Really enjoying the season

[@YoudontknowMimi]

Agreed. Totally agreed. Their loyalty to each other is unquestionable so the contention will fade into something more believable.

[@pegleg4633]

There is no plan. This is collapsing in real time. Picard is NOT the same man as Riker said in this episode, and we are all seeing it. I believe Lore is somehow involved in Picard's violent aggression. I also think Picard is going to be brainwashed by Lore and his positronic brain to seek revenge on the TNG crew for defeating him so many years ago.

[@mjohnson2737]

I hope this is true. There needs to be an explanation about their out of character and unprofessional conduct on the bridge. They probably considered the fact that Vadic wants Jack Crusher alive and its unlikely the Titan-A will be destroyed. Besides its only episode 3.

[@olafbaeyens8955]

This makes we want to rewatch episode 1 and 2 again. And on top of that all ST:NG, DS9 even Voyager.

[@ThePopcast]

Us too!

[@mjohnson2737]

I've watch episodes 1 and 2, 4 times. Lol. Watched all of TNG in preparation before Picard season 3. I was fooled, I didn't think I would need to watch DS9 too, where does one find the time?? 😂.

[@Scripture-Man]

What do you mean "even Voyager"? That was some of the purest Star Trek ever made.

[@thegreenbean5891]

Finally a grown up ST with competent, confident and real acting crew. Not a single 'lets talk about our feelings in the corridor' scene in sight.

[@NickNobody161]

right, except the scene where Riker and Jack talk about feelings in the corridor. Oh and the scene where La Forge and Seven talk about feelings in the entrance to the corridor.

[@atlanta2076]

Jonathan is SO good in this. It's his best performance yet. And the moment that Jean-Luc is interacting with Beverley in sick bay? That's OG Jean-Luc for ya! I might not agree with Dave Cullen on all accounts politically, but I preciate his inputs and I do trust him when he says that EP4 is gon' be even better than this. Guys... I had lost ALL HOPE for Star Trek. But this season has invigorated my belief in it. This seems to be the real deal. And if Klutzman makes a buck out of it? So be it. I've be savoring every single moment of this third season so far, and I am glad and grateful we've been given this. ♥♥♥

In this episode I think the changeling is posing as Riker near the end of this show and "Jack" looks a lot older that 20 years

[@shulmanator]

Thanks for the shout out to us VFX people!

[@ThePopcast]

Well deserved 😊

[@IMDARKFIRE007]

Gene HATED the idea of conflict between the TNG crew, but they were pulling it off beautifully....until they went WAY too far. It was like that First Contact moment with Worf, but it just didn't fit with how close they are. The back and forth arguing about attack or defend was done very well, but the "remove yourself" line was a severe over reach. But what I LOVED was Deanna...letting Marina Sirtis be more of herself is a brilliant move, she is easily one of the funniest women on the planet.

[@ransompendragon623]

Crimson Tide was an extremely underrated movie. These episodes remind me of the Gene Hackman Denzel Washington fight aboard the “Alabama”. Bravo for giving us some intense drama and tension on the bridge. Doesn’t it seem odd though of the role reversal? Riker wanting to run and hide instead of go in guns ablazing? And Picard, the peacemaker wanting to turn and fight it out? It makes for some very compelling and interesting decisions to be made by Riker. I’m still processing that last exchange on the bridge because I don’t think there is a world or reality where Riker would ever blame Picard for killing a crew of a starship given the risks, blah blah blah. It’s weird. I actually thought Riker was a changeling but if it’s true that has been confirmed to be “no” then, I dunno. I’ve rewatched it and I’m still at a loss. Lastly, this is the BEST trek season I’ve seen since lower decks. This is by far the best writing and bad ass villain I’ve seen in a hot minute. I hands down love this season so far. I hope the wrap stolen from daystrom is the corbomite deflector. At least code named. Love the titan constitution -A, love it.

[@Scripture-Man]

Thanks for the video! :-) I'm a new huge fan of Matalas! It's truly wonderful to finally have new Star Trek after over 20 years. I didn't even like Enterprise, and don't personally count that as canon. I certainly hated everything Kurtzman did, with a loathing! But this new Matalas show is GREAT! The first time I've been able to watch or enjoy anything called "Star Trek" in decades. Matalas is a savior, giving us what we always wanted! It' just a shame we only get one season of this. Also a shame about the bad language, dark cinematography, and gritty scenarios, though I appreciate it must have been a political necessity to retain a level of stylistic continuity, in order to take this horrible show and turn it into something good, all under the pretence that it's the same show. When we all know this is something new and unrelated. Simply edit out the line about Picard being an android, and it never happened! I haven't watched seasons 1 or 2 and never will! They didn't happen! But season 3 is incredible. It's like getting 5 new TNG films all at once! THANK YOU TERRY MATALAS! someone put this man in charge of ALL THE IP!

[@LBXZero]

My current thoughts, Vadic and the Shrike are not after Jack Crusher. Jack was bait. Jack and Beverly were pushed into that nebula. With the notes of other tech stolen from the institute plus how the Shrike knew Titan -A's every move even after the "bread crumb trail" stopped, I am assuming the real tech stolen is some form of precognition, future prediction. Given the Shrike is using the portal tech that was used to destroy the academy building, the Shrike has the other techs. With the ability to predict future decisions, Vadic can perfectly counter all of Titan's decisions for a specific outcome, using false obvious details to misdirect from the possibility. My thoughts of the future prediction device, Picard and Riker requisitioned the Titan A at the spur of the moment. It is very difficult to put a saboteur on a ship like that, even for a changeling, without some sort of precognition that Picard and Riker would consider Titan A over other options. This is some serious planning. For most of the battle, the Shrike could easily defeat the Titan, using the portal tech to lock it in vulnerable positions and destroy her. The Shrike's actions were primarily playing around with toys and stalling out time, like leading an opponent in a game of chess to move the pieces you want them to move. And going back to the saboteur, do you want to sacrifice an agent like that? There must be some reason for forcing Picard into the heart of that nebula, either using the game of cat and mouse to torture Picard with despair enhanced with false hopes, or the Shrike was delivering Picard and a ship to the heart of the nebula. The heart of the nebula is an unknown, so maybe something is trapped there and Vadic believes Titan A with Picard and Riker are the ones to get it out. The only other element I can see for predicting Picard's moves is the mcguffin of his body, a synthetic body similar to Data. If it radiates RF from its circuits, someone (think Lore) could read those signals and can see what Picard is thinking and observing. The changelings are another misdirection, another pawn that is also blind to the grand scheme. Also, I need to rewatch Star Trek: Lower Decks, because they had an episode involving an organic nebula, if what I remember is correct. Could have been Strange New Worlds, although.

[@diabolicaldoodle]

Cool theories

[@LBXZero]

A little change, but I now wish the trailer for Season 3 did not include Moriarty. Knowing he will make his appearance along with Lore, a plan makes sense. We may get an episode that follows Moriarty's back story from "Ship in a Bottle" to Picard S3. Either it was stored at the Daystrom Institute with the portal tech or was already recovered, Moriarty had the primary goal to be free of a holoprogram. His probable next attempt was Lore's or B4's body, trying to configure his program into an android's body, but they were Dr. Soong's early designs and not designed to be compatible with Moriarty's program. Moriarty, after Picard Season 1, discovered Picard now exists as an android like Data, but the body is compatible to other "minds". Moriarty wants Picard's body in order to take over it and finally exist as a physical being, with the added luxury of revenge. The mobile emitter that The Doctor of Voyager used may not be good enough for Moriarty. Meanwhile for the other players in this game, Vadic and others have their own plot against the Federation, and Moriarity is just pulling on everyone's strings to get his objective. Reviewing the 2 TNG episodes with Moriarty, it is possible that Vadic could be Vadic or Regina, as Ship in a Bottle created a partner for Moriarty and both were together in the memory cube. Is Barclay expected to make an appearance in Picard Season 3? Barclay would have been expected to maintain the Moriarty Cube's simulation in the simulation enhancement module. Barclay later was an assistant for Lewis Zimmerman who made the Emergency Hologram programs, The Doctor of Voyager, before he returned to Enterprise E for First Contact.

[@zac8670]

Yeah the portal weapon attack was incredible to watch while also heartbreaking. That was further accented by watching how Seven reacted.

Moriarty is to Picard what Khan is to Kirk. They were both imprisoned in a world that turned out not to be what they expected, due to action taken by the respective captains. Now, it is M's turn to exact revenge on JLP. I expect a "Moriaaaarty!" scream from Picard, an "Admiral, Jack is dead", followed by "You Changeling beeaas'tard, you killed my son"

Moriarity could be pulled in to help deal with Lore. Moriarity was created to outsmart and defeat Lore's brother, after all.

Fun fact: Terry Matalas owns a time machine converted DeLorean. I'm wondering if they're setting it up for a DS9 character or two to show up?

[@quantisedspace7047]

Yes, Miles O'Brien will show up. I'm assuming that the 'Man of Hono(u)r" to whom Worf referred is Odo; he'll show up as well.

I smell a Sisko cameo. You have aliens living in a gravity well and human receiving visions out of nowhere.

First of all, Crimson Tide is a TERRIBLE submarine movie…. I’m thinking AWSOME! Picard has a kid (legacy anyone?). The two fathers thing is pretty kewl for the drama of it. No comment on Dr. Crusher. The Word arc is great too. Of the three Picard seasons, I’d have to say, this is the best one.

04:17 why was it assumed Beverly has been in stasis for the past 20yrs? that she hasn't done any medical work the whole time?

Riker/Picard = Worf/Dahar Master Cor. In that DS9 episode where Martok's Birds of Prey raided that dominion base, his plan was to hit-and-run. Cor took command and kept on attacking, causing them to lose Birds. Worf struck Cor for his disastrous ideas. Picard pushing for fighting led to disaster for the Titan-A. Not to mention his constant arguing with the ship's captain (Riker) on the bridge was no help. He forgot how to be second in command; forgot Data's lesson to Worf.

[@Omegax34]

I hope we get to see DS9 again. With the changlings showing up we might see it.

[@snakedriver]

That'll be in the next series 'Sisko'

Just a quick note! It's pronounced "ah-vey" not "ovh". The title "Ave Verum Corpus" means "Hail the True Body (of Christ)" (the Eucharist).

this must be the 2nd generation portal weapon, I'm sure somewhere, somehow Glados is behind this.

Just kind of wondering why since Voyagers return to Earth, that all starships haven't been upgraded with transphasic torpedoes and the armor technology?

[@LEDC5000]

Perhaps something to do with breaking temporal laws

[@pimpscribe]

Omfg I loved this episode and thus season so far I haven't been this excited for star trek since damnn can't even remember.

It took the Starkiller forever to recharge and this thing can change right away 😐

"Ir-repairable" vs 'irreparable.'
