Seven And Raffi Stealing a Police Car | Star Trek Picard S02E04

That and we have 24th/25th century people in the 21st century seemingly knowing what their doing (the pulled off a good old fashioned caper story in episode 6) and yet the movie star trek 4 voyage home that it borrows heavily from has kirk and crew in the 20th century not fitting in at all. And then picard somehow knows Kirk's enterprise went back in time and when he brings up this idea no one says oh who is kirk, or how do you know or anything? Despite all that yes I do like picard but it does have its story issues. Like phasers that look like guns and picard being ok with a borg and hugging Q

Judging by the 24th and 25th century images of urban life in San Francisco, traffic still flows in the same direction as it does in the 21st century. That's the thing about time travel in Star Trek: all the cast acts as if they never saw a movie or went to a historical recreation of life in the past. There's like a billion references to Renaissance festivals everyday, and I'm not even into that time period.

Seven will die at the hands of the Borg Queen. Some writers say by being strangled or by being tossed into space by vacuum. Both of them will die and be replaced.
